Responsibilities
- Design and build a vendor-agnostic control plane that provisions, scales, heals, and meters storage across platforms including VAST Data, WEKA, DDN, Pure, NetApp, Ceph, and MinIO.
- Define an abstraction layer that hides vendor-specific APIs, failure semantics, quality-of-service controls, and telemetry formats behind a declarative interface.
- Build reconciliation loops and CRD-based orchestration using Kubernetes controllers, operators, and custom schedulers.
- Manage capacity, tenancy, encryption domains, and placement across data centers and availability zones.
- Own multi-tenant isolation, including namespace and subsystem partitioning, tenant-level quality of service and rate limiting, credential and key lifecycle, blast-radius containment, and noisy-neighbor detection.
- Design PCIe-topology-aware, NUMA-aware, and failure-domain-aware capacity and placement engines.
- Instrument the storage fleet with SLI/SLO definitions, performance regression detection, and observability pipelines for large-scale debugging.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
- At least 5 years of experience in software development for storage systems.
- Proven experience with distributed systems concepts including load balancers, data durability, consensus algorithms, fault tolerance, and data consistency.
- Strong programming skills in C, C++, Go, or Python.
- Experience with Linux kernel internals and system-level programming.
- Experience with storage protocols such as S3 or NFS and file systems such as Ceph, DAOS, or similar.
- Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and production workloads in containerized environments.
- Familiarity with CI/CD and QA practices for distributed-systems development environments.
- Preferred experience with AI/ML workloads, data-center networking, InfiniBand, RoCE, storage performance tuning, GPUs, DPUs, and enterprise storage platforms.
- Preferred experience with VAST Data, WEKA, DDN, Pure, NetApp, IBM Storage Scale, Ceph at 100 PB or more, CXL memory pooling, computational storage, ZNS SSDs, or EDSFF.
- Published or presented work at SNIA SDC, FAST, USENIX ATC, LSFMM+BPF, OCP, SC, or similar venues is preferred.
