As a Software Engineer on the Distributed Storage team, you will:

Ideal qualifications include:

  • Significant experience building and shipping distributed storage systems or tooling within medium to large-scale environments.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Rust with demonstrable experience in developing high-quality, production-grade distributed software.
  • Familiarity with core distributed system concepts, including consensus algorithms, fault tolerance, and secure communication.
  • Background or strong interest in operating systems, networking, databases, security, virtualization, or related system-level domains.
  • A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related discipline is beneficial, though practical experience and demonstrable expertise take precedence.

We seek individuals who:

  • Have a passion for creating robust, production-ready distributed storage systems.
  • Thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with talented peers to discover optimal solutions.
