Senior Storage Software Engineer
About the Role
- We are looking for an experienced Storage Software Engineer with 12-15 years of software engineering experience to design, architect, and build highly scalable Block, File, and Object Storage platforms in Kubernetes environments.
- This is a deeply hands-on engineering role that combines systems programming, distributed systems, storage architecture, and cloud-native technologies. You will be responsible for building production-grade storage software with a strong focus on performance, scalability, reliability, availability, and data durability.
- The ideal candidate can take complex storage challenges end-to-end—from architecture and design to coding, testing, performance optimization, troubleshooting, and production deployment—while collaborating with other engineers to continuously evolve and strengthen the storage platform.
Responsibilities
-
Design and develop distributed Block, File, and Object Storage systems.
-
Architect highly available, scalable, fault-tolerant, and high-performance storage platforms.
-
Write and review production-quality code using C/C++ and/or Go.
-
Build Kubernetes-native storage solutions, including CSI, controllers, operators, and APIs.
-
Develop and optimize storage data-plane and control-plane components.
-
Lead architecture development and solve complex technical problems spanning multiple systems and domains.
-
Define the future state and technical roadmap of the storage platform, balancing near-term delivery with long-term scalable architecture.
-
Identify common patterns and build reusable technology solutions rather than solving only individual use cases.
