Requirements

2+ years of real people leadership. You have managed engineers — hired, coached, given honest feedback, and grown them. Hands-on contribution matters here, but this role is judged on the team you build and lead, not just the code you write.
You have built storage systems — object, block, or distributed filesystems — not just operated them. You know what happens when a disk dies mid-write and when a rebalance collides with a backup window.
Deep distributed-systems fundamentals: durability, consistency, replication, erasure coding, failure domains.
You have shipped production systems in Go. Systems engineers coming from C++ or Rust who are ready to write Go daily should still talk to us.
You are comfortable with hardware reality: HDD, SSD, and NVMe tiers, and the economics of each.
8+ years building backend or infrastructure systems.
You have partnered with product, design, and business teams to ship software that reached real users.
A low-ego, team-first mindset. We care less about your exact domain and more about whether you are the kind of technical force other engineers want to work alongside.

What You'll Be Doing

Stand up the storage stack — block, file, object — for training, sandbox, and general compute workloads.
Make the build-vs-buy calls: deploy and harden vendor platforms where they win; design and write our own services in Go where they don't.
Own the data plane: allocation, duplication, tiering, backup and recovery, S3-compatible APIs.
Plan capacity across datacenters and across failure domains — petabytes, not terabytes.
Build the team from zero: make the first hires, onboard and coach them, own performance and growth paths, and set the standard for ownership.
Partner with Product Managers to shape the storage roadmap and make the technical and business tradeoffs.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being, growth, and work-life balance. Benefits vary by country and may include healthcare coverage, parental leave, retirement plans, relocation support, wellness programs, meal and transportation allowances, and other location-specific perks.
