Zuora's product management team is looking for rock stars that want to drive product innovation. We are leading the way for the subscription economy and disrupting the way businesses manage and sell to customers. What makes us different?

The Cisco Consumer Products Group sells home networking and networked entertainment products and services under the Cisco, Flip Video, Linksys, Linksys by Cisco, and Network Magic family names. Cisco products enable people to live a connected life that is more personal, more social, and more visual.

Flip Video exemplifies Cisco’s passion for video. The best-selling brand makes video simple, accessible and fun, allowing users to easily capture and edit videos and then share them instantly with friends, family and on popular video-sharing Web sites.

The challenges involved in developing a simple, intuitive, yet high quality product reach beyond the hardware of the camcorder to also envelope the software ecosystem which completes the Flip Video experience. Our software vision is all about making the capturing, editing and sharing of visual experiences as easy and as fun as possible.

FlipShare enables our users to save, view, manipulate and share their video. FlipShare is continuing to expand as a gateway to service and access the desktop, TV devices, cameras, web services, content providers and consumers like YouTube, Facebook, and more. You will drive the creation of an extensible, scalable, and pluggable architecture that will form the core of our next generation application. .
