Highlights

  • Build distributed object storage backing every image, volume, and checkpoint.
  • Make cold starts feel local with caching, preloading and P2P sharing.
  • Own durability and cost for hundreds of petabytes across clouds and CDN.

Ideal candidate

A seasoned distributed systems engineer who loves low-level performance and operating petabyte-scale storage. You thrive owning durability and latency end-to-end and jumping into on-call to keep critical infrastructure fast.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience writing high-quality production code
  • Experience building high-performance distributed storage or caching systems at large scale
  • Deep familiarity with object storage (S3 or similar), CDNs, and their consistency, throughput, and cost characteristics
  • Strong knowledge of low-level OS foundations including Linux kernel, file systems, page cache, and containers
  • Willingness to participate in on-call rotation and respond to production incidents
