Software Senior Engineer

The Software Engineering team delivers next-generation software application enhancements and new products for a changing world. Working at the cutting edge, we design and develop software for platforms, peripherals, applications and diagnostics — all with the most advanced technologies, tools, software engineering methodologies and the collaboration of internal and external partners.

Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact as a Software Senior Engineer on our Software Engineering Team in Bangalore/Pune.What you’ll achieve As a Software Senior Engineer, you will be responsible for developing sophisticated systems and software basis the customer’s business goals, needs and general business environment creating software solutions.

We build enterprise-grade, massively scalable storage systems—clustered, high-performance, and resilient—running across Linux and BSD. Our portfolio includes a multi-petabyte S3 object store and a scale-out NAS platform. We’re a modern, scrum-based engineering org that ships with high velocity and quality, using the best tools, hardware, and practices.

You will:

• Design and build next-generation AI data platform storage - mission-critical components powering our AI strategy—giving you the opportunity to tackle state-of-the-art problems in scale, performance, and reliability.
• Own problems end-to-end across design, implementation, testing, deployment, and supportability—within a cluster storage system.
• Build and harden distributed services: durability, consistency, replication, data paths, metadata, control planes, scheduling, placement, and lifecycle management.
• Optimize performance across computer, memory, IO, networking (including RDMA), and storage media (NVMe/SSD/HDD/AFA); drive latency and throughput improvements with data-driven profiling and advance reliability through observability, telemetry, failure injection, chaos testing, and automated remediation; raise the bar on serviceability and supportability.
• Collaborate in scrum teams; write clear design docs, PRDs, and RFCs; perform code reviews and mentor peers. Raise product quality via automated tests, CI/CD pipelines, build hygiene, and release engineering & Contribute to security & compliance (TLS, authN/Z, crypto, FIPS, STIG/NIST best practices) and secure-by-default engineering.
