Senior Storage Systems Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Implement, integrate, and manage high-performance storage solutions for GPU-accelerated computing and AI platforms.

• Incorporate NFS-based high-performance storage solutions such as VAST and Dell PowerScale into Kubernetes clusters utilizing CSI, storage classes, and persistent volumes.

• Optimize NFS mount options, nconnect/RDMA, Linux clients, and networking settings to ensure high-throughput, low-latency for GPU/AI workloads.

• Deploy and administer storage services and operators effectively.

• Oversee storage capacity management, including quotas, snapshots, and lifecycle management.

• Configure and enhance Linux systems specifically for storage workloads, focusing on drivers, file-system layouts, networking, and kernel parameters.

• Facilitate storage integration for k0s-based Kubernetes through Cluster API and K0rdent management/child-cluster architectures.

• Manage storage operations in completely disconnected air-gapped settings, addressing Harbor artifact/mirror connectivity and PKI/TLS requirements.

• Automate the provisioning and configuration of storage using Terraform/OpenTofu and GitOps pipelines via ArgoCD or Flux.

• Develop monitoring, alerting, and observability frameworks for storage performance, capacity, and overall health.

• Troubleshoot and resolve performance, reliability, and scalability challenges across the storage infrastructure.

• Establish operational standards and facilitate communication across various teams.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 7 years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) or hardware/storage infrastructure operations.

• More than 5 years of experience in building and operating distributed production storage systems at scale.

• At least 7 years of expertise in Linux and Kubernetes storage fundamentals, including NFS and CSI.

• A minimum of 1 year of experience in integrating or developing high-performance storage solutions such as VAST, Weka, DDN, or PowerScale.

• Profound understanding of Linux storage and networking at both the kernel and NFS-client levels.

• Familiarity with Kubernetes storage, infrastructure-as-code practices, and GitOps methodologies.

• Proficient in using Terraform/OpenTofu and ArgoCD or Flux.

• Hands-on experience with bare-metal hardware is a significant advantage.

• Capability to operate in hybrid, edge, and air-gapped environments.

• Knowledge of k0s, Cluster API (CAPI), K0rdent, Harbor, and PKI/TLS considerations is essential for this role.
