Full Job Description
What you'll do
  • Design, build, and optimize FUSE-based infrastructure and storage components
  • Develop and improve Linux file system integrations across kernel and user-space layers
  • Work on distributed storage and object storage infrastructure systems
  • Improve scalability, resiliency, and performance across storage platforms
  • Optimize networking and data movement using RDMA principles
  • Diagnose bottlenecks across file systems, networking, memory, and I/O stacks
  • Develop infrastructure tooling and platform capabilities in C and C++
  • Work closely with systems, storage, and platform engineering teams on deeply technical infrastructure challenges
  • Help shape next-generation infrastructure platforms for AI and high-performance environments


What we're looking for
  • Strong hands-on experience developing with FUSE and Linux file systems
  • Deep understanding of Linux kernel file system architecture
  • Strong programming skills in C and C++
  • Strong understanding of POSIX file system principles
  • Experience with object storage systems and distributed infrastructure
  • Familiarity with RDMA networking principles and high-speed networking technologies
  • Experience working close to kernel-space and user-space I/O paths
  • Strong systems mindset with the ability to debug complex infrastructure and performance issues
  • Experience building or optimizing infrastructure platforms in production environments


You'll thrive here if
  • You enjoy low-level systems and infrastructure engineering
  • You care deeply about performance, scale, and reliability
  • You like solving technical problems that most engineers avoid because they are too deep or performance-sensitive
  • You enjoy understanding how storage and networking behave under pressure
  • You prefer working close to the metal instead of purely abstracted application layers
  • You want to build infrastructure that directly powers mission-critical environments


This role is probably not for you if
  • Your background is primarily application-layer or general backend development
  • You have limited experience with Linux internals, file systems, or infrastructure engineering
  • You prefer higher-level platform abstraction over systems-level development
  • You have not worked on performance-sensitive distributed systems
  • You want a coordination-heavy role rather than deep technical ownership
