Full Job Description
You are a good fit if you
Have developed and scaled distributed systems and enjoy digging into performance and reliability issues across the filesystem, network, and storage stack.
Are comfortable writing and debugging in C, C++, Go, Rust, or Zig, and care deeply about efficiency, correctness, and safety at the systems level.
Are excited by the idea of self-hosting and managing infrastructure with build automation and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Chef).
Have familiarity with distributed storage systems like Ceph or MinIO, or are eager to get hands-on with them.
Have 2+ years of software development experience, ideally in performance-critical or distributed environments.
Enjoy working in person 5 days a week in NYC with a small, tight-knit team.
Thrive in the ambiguity of an early-stage startup and are energized by building from first principles.

You've dabbled in your own side hustles or start-up projects.
You're comfortable creating new processes and iterating on them quickly.
