Member of Technical Staff - Storage (Stockholm)

The role

You will design, build, and maintain high-performance distributed object storage systems. You will work on caching, preloading, and peer-to-peer layers to manage hundreds of petabytes of data.

What you will do

• Build P2P sharing of data across workers within a single datacenter to reduce ingress
• Replicate data across multiple blob storage providers
• Automate garbage collection across hundreds of petabytes of data
• Deploy colocated storage clusters to datacenters to accelerate high-throughput customer workloads

Required qualifications

• 5+ years of experience writing high-quality production code
• Built high-performance distributed storage or caching systems at a large scale
• Strong cloud skills, including deep familiarity with object storage (S3 or similar), CDNs, and their consistency, throughput, and cost characteristics
• Strong knowledge of low-level operating system foundations (Linux kernel, file systems, page cache, containers, etc.)
• Willing to step into the thick of it with our on-call rotation and respond to production incidents

Nice to have

• Experience with replication, content addressing, and consistency models in multi-region or multi-cloud systems
• Experience operating storage systems at scale (petabyte-scale datasets, high-throughput read/write paths, large-scale garbage collection or data migration)
• Experience with data engineering at petabyte scale
• Prior experience with Rust
