Gartner | Full Stack Developer + DevOps + Performance Research | REMOTE (US) or Onsite (Laguna Beach, CA) | Full Time
Gartner is an established, stable and profitable research and advisory company serving clients in 11,000 enterprises in 100 countries. Gartner provides competitive compensation, generous benefits and excellent work/life balance (40hrs/wk +/-, up to 7 weeks vacation + every major holiday).
My startup was acquired by Gartner in 2015 where I now work. This position involves working in a small team, myself included, on a skunkworks type project with the goal of creating software, defining methodologies, and producing data and metrics to objectively compare the performance and capabilities of public cloud services. With established relationships and direct collaboration with every major cloud vendor, we have a very large sandbox to play in.
Responsibilities include developing software (LAMP backend/React frontend) to facilitate service comparisons and workload specific/dynamic cloud sizing recommendations, maintaining large scale multi-cloud test infrastructure, building integration with vendor APIs/CLIs for the purpose of provisioning/test automation, developing and conducting multi-cloud benchmark and performance tests, and making sense of vast quantities of performance metrics and data. Our performance coverage is very broad including every compute instance, block/object storage, CDN and managed DNS offering from every major cloud vendor.
