## About the role

Own capacity, durability, availability, and performance characteristics of network volumes, local NVMe, and S3-compatible object storage. Tune the full I/O path: device and filesystem configuration, caching and read-ahead strategies, replication and erasure coding trade-offs, and client-side mount behavior.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years in infrastructure, storage, or systems engineering, with substantial ownership of production storage at scale
- Deep, practical experience with at least one distributed storage system — Ceph, MinIO, Lustre, GPFS/Spectrum Scale, MooseFS, WekaFS, VAST, ZFS-based systems, or comparable
- Strong Linux internals and storage-stack knowledge: block layer, filesystems, NVMe, page cache, I/O schedulers, NFS/SMB, iSCSI/NVMe-oF
- Building and/or operating S3-compatible object storage services
- Solid networking fundamentals with specific experience tuning networks for storage workloads
- Proficiency in writing and shipping production code in Go, Python, Rust, or similar (not just scripting)
