We are the experts in edge storage, responsible for designing and optimizing the system that manages video data directly on the camera. Our mandate is to guarantee the unmatched reliability, endurance, and security of the local storage media, ensuring video is preserved instantly and securely, even during network outages. We deliver the efficiency required to store petabytes of high-quality video across millions of deployed cameras, making sure every byte is stored reliably and accessible instantly. As a System Software Engineer (Storage), your work will directly shape how millions of people rely on the on-camera storage every day to stay safe. You'll own diverse topics on the storage stack, owning topics like ensuring integrity of NAND storage, debugging storage technologies such as the Linux MMC driver, ext4 and UBIFS filesystems. If you want to venture into topics closer to backend, you will own improving the reliability of our cloud backup system. We are committed to a thriving in-office culture. This role requires you to be onsite at our HQ in San Mateo, CA. What You'll Do * Own the camera storage stack that enables storage of big AI models and large video files, while simultaneously maximizing storage utilization and reliability. * Collaborate with the Hardware team and external storage vendors to define and validate the next generation of flash storage systems. * Innovate by designing new storage systems that maximize company's goals across multiple dimensions like hardware cost, endurance, throughput. * Own storage reliability metrics, using data to drive system improvements. Strategize with the Streaming team to develop innovative solutions for superior video retention. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [It's all about the Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/425-it-s-all-about-the-data) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [Local Development Techniques with Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/166-local-development-techniques-with-kubernetes) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
