Senior Software Engineer
The EMC/Greenplum engineering team has earned a reputation for innovation by
pioneering "big data" analytics and massively parallel data processing.
Recently, we have begun to expand our product portfolio with applications for
collaborative analytics, and we are looking for a talented hands-on developer to
work as one of the founding engineers in a small, agile development team. This
role will be highly visible in the organization, and requires not only deep

considerable interest amongst industry analysts and the data scientist
community, as well as our own sales force. Chorus is a broad collection of
functions that support the work of data scientists, enabling a more agile
approach to generating insights from massive data sets. But our vision is that

- contribute to the development of frameworks and infrastructure, and lead by example in creating robust, well-tested code;
- drive the architecture stack to deliver the vision, and advise at a
