Nice to Have * Experience with GPUDirect Storage, KV-cache / AI inference I/O, or erasure coding and data-protection design ## Description Hive is a new disaggregated storage platform for AI data centers. Each SSD serves NFS directly over Ethernet/RDMA, and many SSDs aggregate into a single scalable namespace. The software stack runs on an embedded SoC/DPU and builds on Ceph Crimson (Seastar, SeaStore, SPDK/DPDK). What You'll Do * Develop and harden the storage cluster software: SeaStore backend, Ceph OSD/MON control plane, and the NFS data path. * Build the network path (TCP and RPC-over-RDMA / RoCE v2) from NIC to NVMe completion. * Optimize the user-space I/O pipeline (poll-mode, kernel bypass) for low latency and high throughput. * Co-tune software with SSD media behavior (pSLC/TLC tiering, erasure coding, garbage collection). * Trace data flows, profile hot paths, and drive performance from PoC toward product. If you want to move into early-stage AI data-center storage architecture and work across the full stack from NAND to NFS, this is the team., Sandisk thrives on the power and potential of diversity.
