You will:
  • Own problems end-to-end across design, implementation, testing, deployment, and supportability within a cluster storage system
  • Build and harden distributed services: durability, consistency, replication, data paths, metadata, control planes, scheduling, placement, and lifecycle management
  • Optimize performance across compute, memory, IO, networking (including RDMA), and storage media (NVMe/SSD/HDD); drive latency and throughput improvements with data-driven profiling
  • Advance reliability through observability, telemetry, failure injection, chaos testing, and automated remediation; raise the bar on serviceability and supportability
  • Contribute to security & compliance with secure-by-default engineering

  • Hands-on experience developing and debugging on Linux or BSD systems, using performance and observability tools such as perf, strace/dtrace/eBPF, and tcpdump
  • Demonstrate ability to write clean, testable code, with experience across unit, integration, and system-level testing and CI/CD pipelines


Desirable Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field
