Broad outline of the Role

- - Responsible for driving system and service engineering initiatives across enterprise Object Storage platforms and related infrastructure technologies.
- This is a hands-on Engineering role focused on designing, implementing, enhancing, and optimizing storage platforms and services.
- Evaluate and integrate new technologies, develop engineering solutions, and drive continuous improvements in platform capabilities, scalability, performance, and reliability.
- Work on complex technical challenges across Object Storage, Linux, networking, distributed systems, and observability platforms.
- Develop tools, automation, and engineering frameworks to simplify and improve platform deployment, configuration, diagnostics, and management.
- Collaborate with internal engineering teams and technology partners to design solutions and resolve complex technical challenges.
- Take ownership of engineering deliverables and seek appropriate guidance where required to ensure quality outcomes.

Minimum Qualifications Experience

- - Technical / Engineering degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics, or a related discipline.
- 2-6 years of relevant experience in system engineering, storage engineering, infrastructure engineering, or distributed systems.

Other Knowledge Skills

- - Expertise in Object Storage technologies and S3-compatible platforms, such as DataCore / Caringo Swarm, MinIO / AIStor, NetApp StorageGRID, and other enterprise Object Storage platforms.
- Strong understanding of Object Storage architecture, S3 APIs, data placement,



erasure coding, replication, metadata, performance, scalability, and distributed-system concepts.
- Good working knowledge of Linux OS (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu), including installation, configuration, OS internals, log analysis, troubleshooting, and performance analysis.
- Strong understanding of networking protocols and concepts, including TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, TLS, routing, load balancing, and network troubleshooting.
- Good understanding of modern filesystems and storage technologies, including filesystem architecture, I/O characteristics, performance, and storage internals.
- In-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Prometheus, Victoria Metrics, and other observability and diagnostic technologies.
- Strong programming and scripting skills in Python, Go, and Shell, with demonstrable experience in developing automation, engineering tools, utilities, and platform integrations.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to investigate complex distributed-system, storage, networking, and performance problems.
- Good understanding of REST APIs, CLI tools, distributed systems, virtualization/container technologies,



and cloud-native architectures is desirable.

Key Responsibilities

- Engineer and deploy recent Object Storage nodes and clusters, and ensure successful transition to the Service Assurance teams.
- Drive capacity planning and engineering to ensure the platform can scale in line with business and technical requirements.
- Identify, test, validate, and roll out new platform features and capabilities.
- Coordinate with Development teams for the development and delivery of new features and enhancements.
- Conduct knowledge-transfer sessions for relevant teams on newly introduced features and capabilities.
- Develop automation, tools, and utilities to enable Service Assurance teams to troubleshoot issues more efficiently.
- Design and implement dashboards and reporting mechanisms to provide visibility into engineering projects, platform capacity, and progress.
- Perform system integrations and migrations with existing enterprise systems and technologies.
- Perform technical evaluation and Proof of Concept (PoC) of new technologies, platforms, and solutions to assess their suitability for enterprise adoption.
- Drive platform improvements, performance optimization, and technical enhancements based on business and customer requirements.
- Define and maintain engineering standards, best practices, and reference architectures for Object Storage platforms and related technologies.
- Maintain and update technical documentation, engineering procedures, and solution documentation.
