Collaborating with engineering, operations, and support teams, you will investigate complex technical challenges and drive continuous improvements across distributed systems. This role offers the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, automate infrastructure at petabyte scale, and contribute to the reliability of services used by millions of people worldwide.
Accountabilities:
You will work closely with development, infrastructure, and operations teams to ensure the stability, scalability, and performance of cloud storage environments. Your key responsibilities will include:
Deploy storage systems in new locations and provision the infrastructure required to support their operation.
Automate repetitive operational tasks using Bash and Python to improve efficiency and platform reliability.
Support the development and implementation of infrastructure projects in collaboration with multiple engineering teams.
Contribute to the scalability and performance of distributed storage platforms, including block storage, object storage, and backup solutions.
Use open-source technologies, particularly Ceph, to maintain highly available and reliable storage environments.
Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve complex storage-related issues across compute, networking, and infrastructure stacks.
Collaborate with support, operations, and engineering teams to identify root causes and implement effective solutions.
Improve monitoring and observability capabilities to identify performance bottlenecks and strengthen system reliability.
Participate in on-call rotations, coordinating service restoration and recovery when production incidents occur.
Continuously identify opportunities to improve infrastructure automation, operational processes, and service performance.
