Software Engineer- II

Overview

Do you want to work on the cutting edge of distributed systems, storage, networking & cluster technologies and be part of the infrastructure for private and hybrid cloud? Do you want to contribute to the critical solutions on which Enterprise Cloud Deployments depend, while being a part of a fast-paced and energetic team?  

Some of the opportunities you will have by being part of our journey include:

• Making our software stack resilient to faults to meet service availability expectations, leverage new classes of hardware to drive up performance, instrument product code to gather data-driven insights to ensure we are continuing to delight our customers.
• You will be part of a team that is delivering solutions that allow hosting solution providers to handle the ever growing storage capacities and increased performance expectations while reducing their maintenance costs through improved diagnostics.

If you want to learn about storage, high availability, file management, file systems, caching, performance, multi-tiered storage hierarchies and of course OS internals-this is the place for you. Cloud Scale, Virtualization, elasticity, flexible provisioning, containers – building a platform for the next decade of cloud services is an exciting adventure that we would love for you to be a part of.
