About the Role
We are looking for a software engineer who thinks in systems and data paths — someone who can reason about throughput, latency, consistency, and failure across a storage stack, then express that understanding as clean, testable Go. The right candidate has built production software against real storage systems (whether enterprise NAS, scale-out, or object), understands what makes storage fast and reliable at scale, and prefers declarative automation over manual operations. You should be self-directed, comfortable owning ambiguous problems end to end, and effective communicating technical decisions across teams.
Responsibilities
- Storage Software & Integration
- Design and build control-plane services, drivers (e.g., CSI), and tooling that provision, configure, and operate storage for Kubernetes-based AI/compute workloads.
- Integrate high-performance storage platforms — Dell PowerScale, VAST, and comparable systems — into automated, declarative provisioning workflows.
- Build data-path, telemetry, and observability tooling to diagnose and resolve performance, reliability, and scaling issues.
- Software & Automation
- Write production-quality software — primarily in Go — with strong testing, code review, and operational rigor.
- Deliver infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/OpenTofu) and GitOps-driven pipelines (ArgoCD or Flux) for storage configuration and lifecycle.
- Support bare-metal and hybrid provisioning where storage intersects host and cluster bring-up.
- Platform & Hybrid Delivery
- Deliver storage integration for k0s-based Kubernetes via Cluster API (CAPI) and K0rdent management/child cluster topologies.
- Architect storage software for fully disconnected (air-gapped) environments, including local artifact/mirror connectivity (Harbor) and PKI/TLS considerations.
Qualifications
- Required:
- 7+ years of experience with GO (Golang) in production systems
- 5+ years of experience building distributed production systems at scale
- 5+ years of Kubernetes experience as a developer, with Infrastructure as a Code approach
- Linux and Kubernetes storage fundamentals (NFS, CSI)
- Preferred:
- Proficiency in Python
- Experience developing or integrating High Performance Storage for GPU/AI workloads (high-throughput data pipelines, GPUDirect Storage).
- Proven experience in sovereign or high-security air-gapped environments.
Benefits
- Work with an established Silicon Valley leader in the cloud infrastructure industry
- Work with exceptionally passionate, talented and engaging colleagues, helping Fortune 500 and Global 2000 customers implement next-generation cloud technologies
- Be a part of cutting-edge, open-source innovation
- Thrive in the high-energy environment of a young company where openness, collaboration, risk-taking, and continuous growth are valued
- Professional development and training
- Attend conferences and working groups
- Company outings, happy hours, hackathons, and tech talks
- Receive a competitive compensation package with a strong benefits plan
