Jobs, Jobs, Jobs – Fall 2014 edition!

It’s funny, I’ve almost started to think of the year as having these seasons: “Megalaunch –> EMC World –> Cisco Live - > VMworld SF -> Inter-VMworld integrum (aka breathe) –> VMworld Barcelona…”  On other days, I feel like the seasons are: “Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Breathe” :-)

…Then I spend a little time with my family and friends and am reminded of the real seasons, and the fact that the world is spinning on it’s axis and rotating around it’s orbit (throw in a 65,000 year precession calendar and our rotation around the Milky way if you’re that type of person :-)

Here we are in Fall (aka the “Inter VMworld interregnum” or “mid Q3” :-) and I thought it would be good to do another “Jobs” post.  

Lots of GREAT jobs here, things begging for the right passion, the right skills, the right people.   In each case, I’ll point to a contact (remember EMC employee’s email format is “firstname.lastname@emc.com”) or a specific requisition number if I have it (and you can go to the EMC “Jobs” site and look up the req).

My advice – don’t be lame and just send an email, or a CV.  The person you’re applying for will assume you have a solid LinkedIn profile (and will look it up).   Point to a public example of your work, your passion.  Point to your GitHub portal.  Point to your community activity.  Point to your blog.   We live in a new social era – don’t apply the way you would a decade ago!  STAND OUT!

These span field (SE), tech marketing, IT, and services roles…   Personally, I’ve found EMC to be a great place to work, a great place to make a career.  It’s not for everyone, but many dig it!

Read on for more!

I’m going to put a long list out there – where I have the requisition (req) number, I will post it – but I will always put the person to contact!

Field Roles – these are my brothers and sisters in the SE family.  You’ll be joining a great team, a great family of a diverse set of ~3600 great people!  You’ll be part of transformation galore, as we are the technical architects that are the face of not only EMC, but also partnered at the hip with our Federation Partners (VMware/EMC), our business partners, and our broader technology partner ecosystem.   Some of these roles are “account” roles (think “enterprise architect supporting a geography”), some are “specialist” roles (think “deep expert in a given domain”).   These are broken down by the 3 major theaters (and a 4th grouping of global architects):

• Americas
• SE Manager in the LA area.  This role covers SoCal, AZ and UT, and is a great opportunity to expand into management or increase your skill sets if you have been a manager prior.  Contact  Anne Kadkhodaian!
• vSpecialists – yes, our crack team of experts on IaaS and PaaS stacks (VMware, Openstack, Pivotal and more!) always on the bleeding edge, always learning fast and furiously from each other.  Always a great esprit de corps – and close to my heart :-)   Want to be part of something awesome inside something awesome (the broader EMC family)?  Contact Brian Whitman!
• Looking in NY, Philly, New England!
• ScaleIO Specialist SE in the Bay Area.   One of the hottest technologies, one of my favorite locations, and working for one of my favorite people (and the contact): Jeffrey Thomas
• Latin America is HOT!  I don’t mean temperature wise (though that true also!) but a growing market, and a really, really top notch team lead by Joel Brawerman (a great dude!)

• A HUGE role.  An opportunity to take a great team to a whole new level!   Director-level role for all of Germany.  Work with some of the biggest customers in the world.  I think with the right person in this role working hand in hand with Sales and services – Germany could DOUBLE it’s success!   Contact Dinko Eror
• UK: A great role supporting a great Service Provider partner - Colt in the UK – contact Rick Russell!

• 134010BR DPAD Specialsit Systems Engineer, Japan
  
• Global Architects – these are at the top echelon of the SE individual contributor roles (something we call a “Principal SE”), but also map specifically not to a geography, but to a specific customer.   These are elite individuals – and along with the Global Account Manager in many case are responsible for driving the architecture at customers who spend many tens of millions (in some cases north of a hundred million!) dollars annually with the EMC Federation:  Contact Vince Affatti (if you’re located in the Americas), or Bart Van Houtte (if you’re located in EMEA) or Prashant Desai (if you’re located in APJ).   Proximity to the account is useful – but hey, these are global accounts – so if you think this is a dream role for you – apply!
