Job Title
Senior Software Engineer (Storage Virtualization Team) - United Kingdom
About the Role
Join a high-performance engineering team building distributed storage infrastructure for a next-generation AI cloud platform.
- Design and develop fault-tolerant storage systems capable of delivering extremely low latency and massive throughput at hyperscale.
- Work at the intersection of virtualization, operating systems, networking, and distributed systems.
- Tackle challenging engineering problems involving performance-critical I/O paths, replication, consensus, and self-healing infrastructure.
- Collaborate with experienced engineers in an international, fast-moving environment where technical excellence and innovation are highly valued.
This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on the infrastructure powering demanding AI and cloud workloads.
Accountabilities
- Design, develop, and maintain distributed, fault-tolerant storage systems for large-scale cloud infrastructure.
- Build and optimize high-performance block and filesystem storage solutions designed for demanding workloads.
- Develop and improve virtualization components involving virtio-blk, virtio-fs, QEMU, vhost-user, and performance-critical I/O paths.
- Work on high-throughput networking between virtual machines and storage systems using TCP and RoCEv2/RDMA.
- Design and implement storage capabilities including replication, consensus, self-healing, and data migration.
- Analyze and optimize system performance to support sub-millisecond latency, millions of IOPS, and extremely high throughput.
- Diagnose and resolve complex issues across software, storage, virtualization, networking, and operating-system layers.
- Write reliable, maintainable, and production-quality code with a strong focus on performance and fault tolerance.
- Contribute to technical design discussions, architecture decisions, code reviews, testing, and continuous improvement.
- Collaborate closely with other engineers and technical teams to deliver robust infrastructure at scale.
- Participate in coding interviews and technical evaluations as part of the hiring process.
