You’ll love this job if you

• Enjoy digging into the internals of storage systems and understanding how they behave when traffic grows, requests race, or a dependency has a bad day.
• Care about a useful, easy-to-use API as much as what happens behind it.
• Like working with other engineers to understand their needs and make their day-to-day work easier.
• Want to follow your work from design and code through rollout and production for millions of developers.
• Want open-source contributions to be at the center of your day job.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience building and operating distributed, stateful systems in production.
• Hands-on experience with object storage, relational databases, and caching systems at production scale. Experience with key-value or wide-column stores is a plus.
• An understanding of distributed systems fundamentals, including consistency, concurrency, and what happens when requests fail or need to be retried.
• Proficiency in a systems language such as Go, C++, Java, or Rust, and comfort working in Python. We primarily use Rust and Python, and welcome engineers who are new to Rust.
• Experience running services on Kubernetes in a cloud environment, including observability, SLOs, and incident response. Familiarity with Terraform is a plus.
• Good written and spoken English, especially in explaining technical choices and writing documentation.
• Nice to have: experience building shared libraries or internal APIs, migrating data between systems, or improving system performance and cost.
