Bonus Points * Coursework, personal projects, or internship experience involving storage technologies (e.g., NVMe, SSDs) or distributed systems. * Exposure to storage protocols such as NFS, SMB, iSCSI, or NVMe-oF. * Any contributions to open source projects (school-related or personal). * Basic understanding of networking concepts (physical or software-defined). * Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). ## Description The Cloud Storage team at Crusoe is looking for a Software Engineer I to join our team building and operating cloud storage infrastructure. This is a great opportunity for an early-career engineer to grow their skills in distributed systems and storage engineering while contributing to high-performance, scalable, and reliable storage solutions. You'll work alongside experienced engineers, learning cloud storage primitives and storage engineering concepts as you take on increasingly independent ownership of features and projects. What You'll Be Working On: * Contribute to Engineering Efforts: Work with your team on cloud storage features, helping to implement well-scoped pieces of larger projects as defined by product and engineering leads. * Software Development: Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code with guidance from senior engineers. Contribute to design documentation for the features you work on. Participate in testing and rollout of software across the stack, from bare metal to user-facing APIs. * Technical Contribution: Take part in code reviews (both giving and receiving feedback), and participate in architecture and design discussions to build your understanding of the broader system. * Continuous Learning: Actively grow your technical skills through mentorship, pairing, and collaboration with teammates. Ask questions, seek feedback, and build foundational knowledge in distributed storage systems. * Cross-Team Collaboration: Participate in team initiatives like tech talks, open source exploration, and book clubs to broaden your exposure to the engineering organization. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [How building an industry DBMS differs from building a research one](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/768-how-building-an-industry-dbms-differs-from-building-a-research-one) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Fingerboard to Keyboard: Transposing One Profession to Another](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/868-fingerboard-to-keyboard-transposing-one-profession-to-another) ## Related Articles - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [How to Answer the Interview Question: “Why Do You Want to Be a Software Engineer?”](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/392-how-to-answer-the-interview-question-why-do-you-want-to-be-a-software-engineer) - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs)
