📋 Description

• Build and evolve a storage platform operating at cloud scale — we're talking exabyte-level storage with real durability constraints • Optimize for different hard drive and hardware characteristics, improving throughput and reducing error rates across hardware failure modes • Troubleshoot ambiguous, symptom-driven problems where the signal is limited and the root cause isn't obvious • Contribute to major architectural upgrades that will support the platform for the next 5–10 years — including support for emerging storage technologies • Take ownership of parts of the stack where general-purpose components stop being the right fit • Improve hardware utilization and efficiency as the business grows upmarket and scale increases • Collaborate closely with a distributed team — coordinating, problem-solving, and communicating across time zones daily

🎯 Requirements

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with comfort operating lower in the stack • Experience with complex systems where performance, reliability, and cost actually matter • A genuine ability to work through ambiguity — you can navigate limited signal and multiple possible causes without getting stuck • Solid collaboration and communication skills in English (strong enough for deep technical conversations) • Proficiency in Java , or meaningful experience in adjacent languages (C, C++, C#, Rust ) — fundamentals matter more than the specific language • A track record of shipping in environments where engineering decisions have real downstream consequences

🏖️ Benefits

• Full integration with the U.S. engineering team — real ownership, not a satellite setup • A chance to work on infrastructure that underpins real customer data at meaningful scale • A company with an unusually transparent engineering culture and a strong technical reputation
