Job Description

Are you interested in building large-scale distributed infrastructure for the cloud?

Our customers run their businesses on our cloud, and our mission is to provide them with industry leading compute, storage, networking, database, security, and an ever-expanding set of foundational cloud-based services.

As part of this effort, the Object Storage Service team is looking for hands-on engineers with expertise and passion in solving difficult problems in distributed systems, large scale storage, and highly available services. If this is you, you can be part of the team that drives the best-in-class Object Storage Service into the next phase of its development. These are exciting times for the service - we are growing fast, and delivering on innovative, enterprise class features to satisfy the most demanding workloads for our customers. An engineer at any level can have significant technical and business impact.

  • 10+ years of experience delivering and operating large scale, highly available distributed systems.

  • Strong understanding of system performance and hardware acceleration

  • Strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms and distributed systems fundamentals.

  • Knowledge of databases, storage and distributed persistence technologies.

  • Strong troubleshooting and performance tuning skills.

  • Experience building multi-tenant infrastructure a strong plus.

Responsibilities

As a technical leader you will own the software design and development for major components and features of the Object Storage Service. You should be both a rock-solid coder and a distributed systems generalist, able to dive deep into any part of the stack and low level systems, as well as design broad distributed system interactions. You will be expected to define software architecture with performance in mind and leveraging hardware acceleration where possible.
