Senior Software Engineer Block Storage Provisioning

• Design and develop the next generation of our storage provisioning
• Add monitoring and alerting for the provisioning workflow to detect failures early
• Make provisioning robust against failures and safe to retry
• Design and implement provisioning that keeps storage highly available and redundant, including failover
• Analyze and resolve complex issues across the storage stack, from the Linux kernel up to the provisioning layer
• Migrate from legacy components step by step, without breaking existing users

• Expert Go skills and several years of professional development experience
• Deep knowledge of Linux, including the kernel, block storage, software RAID (MD), LVM and network block devices (NBD, RNBD)
• Experience with VMs (libvirt, QEMU, cloud-init), building VM images and developing Kubernetes Operators
• Working knowledge of C, enough to read and debug low-level code
• Fluency with Git, Docker, shell and CI/CD, including GitOps workflows (for example ArgoCD)
• Experience with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana) to monitor provisioning and troubleshoot issues
• Experience building highly available, redundant systems, including replication, failover and distributed-systems fundamentals (idempotency, retries, consistency, failure handling)
• Affinity to cloud environments and to automating infrastructure provisioning
• Daily use of AI coding assistants (for example Claude) in your development work
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and a structured, independent way of working in a team

• Hybrid working model.
• Flexible working hours through trust-based working hours.
