A Look Inside the Job:

The BCDR Cloud Team enhances and maintains the software powering offsite data storage, disaster recovery and business continuity operations that is distributed across more than 3700 storage and compute servers protecting over 650 PB of data around the world -- we refer to it as the Datto Cloud. The Datto Cloud is responsible for hosting backup data replicated from over 90,000 backup appliances that are deployed across all 7 continents. In addition to hosting this replicated data, the cloud provides business continuity and disaster recovery services such as: VM image exports, file exports, virtualization, ransomware protection, and full business continuity via virtual networks, virtual machines and secure VPN connectivity.

Our technology stack includes modern Symfony-based PHP, Python, GoLang, MySQL, NGINX, Ubuntu, and BASH. On top of that, we work with lots of low-level technologies, such as the ZFS file system, multiple hypervisors, and container orchestration systems such as Kubernetes. As you may have noticed, this is not your average PHP webdev gig! You’ll be working on one of several product scrum teams with each consisting of approximately five software engineers, two quality engineers, a scrum master, and a product owner.
