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:

• 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
