NoSQL Principal Software Engineer
We launched pcapr.net over a year ago now with just a few of us working part time to build and manage the site. Pcapr.net is powered by a NoSQL database with JavaScript as the primary query language. Frankly, this has been a disaster. We are planning on rebuilding the site with Hibernate and a traditional SQL database. Read more about our thought process here. If you realized that these were the opening lines of our April Fools blog post, then please read on. Mu Dynamics is looking for a NoSQL Principal Software Engineer who can work with an innovative and experienced team to architect, implement and maintain a NoSQL-based NGN Network Test Management Suite that runs both as a hosted web application and on a custom Linux appliance. The Mu Test Suite manages both test creation and test results; it also communicates with a number of test execution units (you could call them test "bots") to generate network traffic for security, functional and DoS/DDoS testing, as well as monitoring and remote device control (plus a lot more). The Mu Test Suite allows our major network service provider customers – and their network equipment vendors – to build and operate higher quality, more reliable and more robust Next Generation Network services. This position is based in Sunnyvale, CA. Requirements:
- Strong knowledge of multi-tier software architecture and scaling in both a SQL and NoSQL database environment
- MongoDB/CouchDB knowledge is preferred; other NoSQL experience with “eventual consistency” platforms like Cassandra and Voldemort is a plus
- 6+ years of experience working with a broad range of Java web technologies and tools like Hibernate, Web Services, core Java, etc.

- Any experience with other common open source languages and tools is a plus; Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, Clojure, C++ are all relevant
- Networking and network protocol domain knowledge (e.g. IPv6, VoIP, IPTV) considered a strong plus
