Staff Engineer - C++/S3

About our group:

This group is developing a new storage software platform designed for cloud storage products and focused on scalability, extensibility, and reuse.

About the role - you will:

• Work with the internal Seagate team, its customers, and the object store industry to develop a resilient, high performing storage platform
• Understand the implementation details of the storage system at the source code level
• Take complete ownership of the design and development of S3 like Server in C++ and deal with issues including large scale data organization, algorithm scalability, asynchronous communication, efficient concurrency, reliability, and fault tolerance
• Identify, debug performance and reliability issues of the storage system
• Design and development of new features/enhancements/fixes to the source code
• Review of the source code for features and defect fixes
• Develop architecture and designs documents code
• Communicates with team and managers to develop optimal solutions and report progress
• Shares best practices with peer groups

About you:

• Technical Expert in S3 Server/protocol with proven external eminence
• Deep storage systems software development experience
• Actively pursues opportunities for learning and self-development
• Quick learner in adapting new technologies

Your experience includes:

• Experience and knowledge of Object Storage and/or S3 Server/Application Architecture and design
• Hands-on experience in developing cloud storage software
• Understanding of storage system architectures: storage media types, communication media and protocols. Typical capacity, throughput and latency values, failure modes
• Working experience with S3 Server technology is highly desired
• Understanding of modern server architectures: processors, caches, cores, NUMA, concurrency control mechanisms
• Thorough understanding of the C++ programming language and tools (compilers, linkers, profilers)
• Understanding of the basic UNIX and experience in programming in UNIX environment
