## Description

centers on Apache Ozone and the wider Hadoop ecosystem (HDFS, Iceberg, Hive, Parquet, ORC), with ample scope for upstream contribution. We're looking for engineers who have architected or contributed to distributed storage systems like Ozone, HDFS, Ceph, or MinIO and are comfortable with replication, consistency, and high availability architectures. What You'll Do Contribute production-grade code to the Apache Ozone project. Debug and optimize Ozone internals - replication, consistency, metadata management, OM/SCM/DataNode coordination - at petabyte scale. Address complex distributed issues: replication failures, networking, disk I/O, concurrency. Improve performance and scalability of distributed storage operations. Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams and open source committers on integrations and ecosystem work. Mentor senior engineers and raise the engineering bar through code reviews and design critiques. What We Are Looking For 6+ years of experience in, software
