We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Systems Software Engineer to join our Core Storage Team. In this role, you will be responsible for the "brain" of our distributed storage system: the Data Path. You will design, implement, and optimize the software layers that handle I/O requests from the moment they hit the network interface until they safely persisted across a cluster of nodes. This is a deep-systems role requiring a passion for low-latency code, concurrency, and distributed systems theory.

Specific duties include but are not limited to:

• Distributed Architecture: Design and maintain scalable, high-performance data path components including distributed caching, metadata management, and data placement algorithms.
• Performance Optimization: Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the I/O path. You will work with technologies like NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF), RDMA, and zero-copy data transfer techniques to achieve microsecond-level latency.
• Data Integrity & Resilience: Implement complex features like erasure coding, snapshots, thin provisioning, and background data scrubbing to ensure 99.9999% data durability.
• Concurrency & Locking: Manage high-concurrency challenges, utilizing lock-free data structures and asynchronous programming models to maximize multi-core CPU utilization.
• Scalability: Ensure the data path scales linearly as nodes are added to the cluster, managing rebalancing and reconstruction without impacting client performance.

Job Requirements:

• Minimum 15 years of experience using C/C++ or other equivalent skills for development.
• Experience with containers and Kubernetes is a plus.
• Experience with Linux I/O subsystem, networking is a plus.
• Experience with Storage protocol, clustering design and development is a plus.
• Experience with any AI tools or programming is a plus.
• Experience with NAS protocols like SMB and NFS is a plus.
• Ability to work in a team environment.
• Strong communication skills.
• Ability to work with a remote team.
• Self-motivated, able to identify and solve problems on their own.
• Ability to collaborate cross functionally and integrate other components into the solution.
• Approach problems creatively and not just repeat the same mistakes made after them.
• Effective communicator to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Willing and able to come into our Centennial, CO or Mendota Heights, MN office during core business hours (10am - 4pm local) Tuesday - Thursday.

Desired Skills:

• Experience in Linux operating system, able to perform installs, upgrades, maintenance and configuration.
• Experience using GIT.
