Responsibilities
Design, develop, and optimize the Infinia I/O path to achieve extreme performance, low latency, and high concurrency under real-world workloads
Implement and refine erasure coding algorithms, data durability techniques, and storage efficiency strategies across large clusters
Integrate and optimize SPDK (Storage Performance Development Kit) into the I/O layer to leverage direct hardware access and minimize kernel overhead
Work on distributed locking mechanisms and concurrency models to ensure consistency, fault tolerance, and throughput at scale
Analyze and improve I/O subsystems under stress — including memory usage, buffer management, caching strategies, and scheduling mechanisms
Drive performance tuning, data path tracing, and throughput profiling across multi-node, multi-device environments
Participate in the design of asynchronous, event-driven architectures that support AI pipelines, high-speed data ingestion, and real-time analytics
Serve as a go-to expert on the IO Path team — leading deep technical discussions, code reviews, design validation, and issue triage
Work closely with the Sr. Manager of Engineering to shape the technical roadmap, evaluate new technologies, and ensure architectural alignment
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of quality, rigor, and engineering excellence
Partner with QA, Storage, Networking, and Performance teams to validate functionality and meet reliability goals
Collaborate with Field and Support teams to debug and resolve customer issues, feeding real-world insights back into design improvements
Influence test coverage strategies and CI/CD pipelines to ensure scalable and reliable software delivery
Qualification
Required
10+ years of experience building large-scale systems software in C/C++
Deep understanding of I/O path optimization, storage scheduling, memory management, and data layout strategies
Proven experience implementing erasure coding, data redundancy, and recovery algorithms in a distributed context
Hands-on experience integrating or optimizing with SPDK or similar user-space storage frameworks
Strong knowledge of distributed concurrency, locking mechanisms, and fault-tolerant design principles
Familiarity with performance profiling tools, memory allocators, and benchmarking methodologies
Excellent debugging skills, with the ability to diagnose complex race conditions, performance regressions, and hardware/software interactions
Preferred
Experience working in high-performance computing (HPC), AI data infrastructure, or large-scale storage platforms
Knowledge of NVMe-oF, RDMA, and other high-speed I/O protocols
Familiarity with cluster schedulers, resource orchestration, or containerized I/O workloads
Exposure to distributed file systems, object storage layers, or hybrid data models
Background in implementing monitoring hooks, observability layers, or self-healing I/O subsystems
