Software Engineer - Storage

Software Engineer – Storage

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience.
3+ years of software development experience, with a focus on storage systems, file systems, or distributed storage architectures.
Strong experience with C++ or another low level systems programming language.
Familiarity with FUSE or other file system abstractions.
Deep understanding of cloud storage backends (e.g., S3, GCS, Azure Blob Storage) and the challenges of integrating them with file systems.
Experience with distributed systems, storage formats, or data processing engines.
Knowledge of SQL databases like PostgreSQL and DuckDB is a plus.
Comfortable working in a cloud-native environment (AWS, GCP, Azure) with deployment automation and scaling experience.
Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
Self-directed and team-oriented with a collaborative mindset.

Design, implement, and optimize our FUSE file system abstraction to enable seamless integration between DuckDB and cloud storage backends.
Develop and maintain distributed read caching, background processes (compaction, GC, etc…)
Enhance observability and diagnostics for storage-related systems to ensure reliability and troubleshoot issues effectively.
Collaborate with internal engineering teams and cross-functional partners to deliver a coherent, scalable storage system.
Work on state management and dynamic resource allocation for our storage infrastructure.
Ensure the system is reliable, secure, and efficient, while maintaining agility for rapid iteration.
Participate in on-call rotations and contribute to improving system reliability to make those on-call shifts quieter (and maybe even fun).

Knowledge of SQL databases like PostgreSQL and DuckDB is a plus.
Sense of fun, willingness to embrace duck puns, and ability to not take yourself too seriously.
