About The Company

Qumulo is the unstructured data platform to store and manage exabyte-scale data anywhere – at the edge, in the core data center and in the cloud. With unstructured data growing in more locations faster than ever before, enterprises today need a way to store, manage, and curate data simply and efficiently in any location, on any platform. This is precisely what Qumulo was founded to accomplish.

At Qumulo, we are building an open and collaborative culture where people can do their best work with customers as our magnetic field. We act as owners, we share by default, we are data driven and experimental and as an inclusive workplace, we encourage and celebrate multiple points of view. As part of our culture we believe diversity drives innovation.

About The Position

Engineers working on core services build the modern distributed storage engine that powers our on-premises and cloud products along with the various services that help customers store, access, and protect their data. The software stack includes a distributed and fault-tolerant block storage layer, a transactional file system, and multiple access protocols and replication/backup features. If you're excited about working on industry-leading data storage software that scales to multiple petabytes with sub-millisecond access latencies, and allows customers to run all their unstructured data workflows on one platform, we want to talk to you!

Software Engineers at Qumulo work alongside people who crave collaborative coding environments. It's a community where individual engineers have a voice, and teams have the autonomy to drive their own progress.

Contribute to feature development and testing using languages like C and Rust
Participate in team SDLC processes like stand-ups/reviews/pair programming/etc. and improve them as appropriate

Help debug and fix test failures and product issues

Qualifications

Experience programming in a compiled language like C/C++, Rust, C#, Java or Go
Firm grasp of computer science fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, concurrent programming, operating systems concepts)
Work collaboratively with a team on shared work using strong written and oral communication skills
Previous experience with public cloud storage APIs, block or file storage systems, Linux tooling, kernel interfaces, performance tuning, and/or GDB debugging would be a plus
2+ years of proven ability providing production software level design, coding and testing
BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience

The annual pay range for the role is USD $140,000.00 - $190,000.00.

Someone (often IT) has the difficult job of staying on top of managing these data stores, which becomes more difficult to do as enterprise datasets expand from the data center to the edge and cloud. And while scale and complexity are rising, budgets and staff are not. Existing solutions suffer from two crucial shortcomings: Complexity and platform lock-in. Legacy solutions are excruciatingly complex to de... Know more
