Senior Storage Software Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Storage Software Engineer with 12-15 years of software engineering experience to design, architect, and build highly scalable Block, File, and Object Storage platforms in Kubernetes environments.

This is a deeply hands-on engineering role that combines systems programming, distributed systems, storage architecture, and cloud-native technologies. You will be responsible for building production-grade storage software with a strong focus on performance, scalability, reliability, availability, and data durability.

The ideal candidate can take complex storage challenges end-to-end—from architecture and design to coding, testing, performance optimization, troubleshooting, and production deployment—while collaborating with other engineers to continuously evolve and strengthen the storage platform.

Lead complex engineering initiatives spanning multiple teams, systems, and technical domains.

Shape technical strategy and help translate long-term product vision into an executable engineering roadmap.

Use AI coding agents to your advantage to boost productivity and lead us to the future of AI native engineering. Capable of giving the right context and detailed requirements to the Agent.

Shepherd multiple teams through architecture, development, testing, and production delivery.

Act as an engineering multiplier by building reusable platforms, frameworks, tools, and processes.

Influence technical direction beyond the immediate team and advocate for solutions that can be adopted broadly.

Balance incremental improvements with transformational architectural changes when appropriate.

Drive technology decisions that result in measurable improvements in reliability, performance, scalability, engineering velocity, and customer experience.

Take ownership of business and customer outcomes rather than simply executing predefined requirements.

Bachelor’s or Master degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.

Strong software engineering experience in storage and/or distributed systems.

Proficiency in C/C++, Go, or Rust

Strong understanding of Linux, concurrency, networking, and storage I/O.

Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native architectures.

Knowledge of technologies such as NVMe, iSCSI, NFS, S3, SPDK, CSI, UBD.

Proven ability to architect and lead complex technical projects across teams.

Strong communication, technical leadership, mentoring, troubleshooting, and performance optimization skills.
