We believe that distributed storage shouldn't be hard - and to keep up with the increasing data storage demands, it needs to be easier than ever before.

You will be responsible for sound software architecture and best practices in software quality, testing and documentation.

  • You will build and manage a globally distributed team of engineers
  • You'll develop your team through coaching, mentoring and feedback
  • You will demonstrate sound engineering principles by directly contributing toward your team's goals

  • Set and manage expectations with other engineering teams and external stakeholders
  • Advance modern, agile software development practices
  • Maintain a culture of quality and engineering excellence
  • Grow a healthy, collaborative engineering culture in line with the company values
  • Be an active part of the leadership team and collaborate with other leaders in the organisation
  • Work from home with global travel up to 20% for internal and external events

Who you are

  • You have experience operating scale out storage clusters on Linux in production environments, preferably with Ceph
  • You love embracing new technologies and pushing the boundaries of what is possibleYou love developing and growing people and have a track record of doing it
