Job description

The Software Engineering team delivers next-generation application enhancements and new products for a changing world. Working at the cutting edge, we design and develop software for platforms, peripherals, applications and diagnostics - all with the most advanced technologies, tools, software engineering methodologies and the collaboration of internal and external partners.

We build enterprise-grade, massively scalable cluster-based storage systems running across Linux and BSD. Our portfolio includes a multi-petabyte S3 object store and a scale-out NAS platform. We’re a modern, scrum-based engineering org that ships with high velocity and quality, using the best tools, hardware, and practices.

Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact as a Senior Software Engineer on our Software Engineering Team in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, Seattle, Washington.

What you’ll achieve As a Senior Software Engineer, you will deliver scalable, high-performance storage and systems software that powers secure, highly available private and hybrid cloud solutions for customers.

You will:

  • Own problems end-to-end across design, implementation, testing, deployment, and supportability within a cluster storage system
  • Build and harden distributed services: durability, consistency, replication, data paths, metadata, control planes, scheduling, placement, and lifecycle management
  • Optimize performance across compute, memory, IO, networking (including RDMA), and storage media (NVMe/SSD/HDD); drive latency and throughput improvements with data-driven profiling
  • Advance reliability through observability, telemetry, failure injection, chaos testing, and automated remediation; raise the bar on serviceability and supportability
  • Contribute to security & compliance with secure-by-default engineering
