What you'll do

• Design, develop, test and maintain features and services across the Object portfolio, including S3-compatible APIs, distributed metadata, deployment tooling and platform subsystems.
• Write clean, modular, maintainable code with thorough unit and integration tests, and take part in code reviews.
• Find and fix complex defects, performance bottlenecks and reliability problems in distributed storage components.
• Help with customer escalations and sustaining work: root-cause analysis, fixes and verification.
• Follow and promote engineering best practices for CI/CD, security, CVE remediation and observability (telemetry, metrics, dashboards).
• Help build and improve automated test frameworks, including functional, performance and scale testing.
• Work in an Agile/Scrum team to deliver high-quality releases on schedule.
• Write clear technical documentation, such as design notes, runbooks and RCAs.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• About 2–5 years of professional software development, ideally on enterprise software, distributed systems or storage.
• Strong programming skills in at least one of Java, Go, Python or C/C++.
• Good working knowledge of Linux/Unix and scripting (Bash, Python).

• Experience with enterprise storage (object, block or file), for example HCP, S3 object stores or Ceph/MinIO-style systems.
• Familiarity with S3 features such as Object Lock, versioning, replication and data integrity.
• Exposure to observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana, and to messaging systems such as RabbitMQ.
• Knowledge of identity and access management, such as Keycloak or OAuth2/OIDC.
• Experience with performance benchmarking tools (for example WARP), containerized test harnesses or release engineering.
• Awareness of storage security: encryption, key management and vulnerability remediation.
