Zusammenfassung

Mistral is seeking a founding Engineering Team Lead for storage on our cloud. You will own the storage stack (block, file, object) and the data plane, from design to delivery, while building the team from zero and balancing hands-on work with leadership of engineers.

As a senior IC and leader, you will define capacity planning across datacenters and set standards for ownership and growth, partnering with Product to align on storage roadmap and business priorities.

• 8+ years building backend or infrastructure systems.
• Shipped production systems in Go.
• Built storage systems — object, block or distributed filesystems.

• Partnered with product, design, and business teams to ship software for real users.
• Low-ego, team-first mindset.

Aufgaben

• Stand up the storage stack — block, file, object — for training, sandbox and compute workloads.
• Make build-vs-buy calls; deploy and harden vendor platforms where they win; write Go services where they don’t.
• Own the data plane: allocation, duplication, tiering, backup and recovery, S3-compatible APIs.
• Plan capacity across datacenters and failure domains — petabytes scale.
• Build the team from zero: hire, onboard and coach; define growth paths and ownership standards.
• Partner with Product Managers to shape the storage roadmap and tradeoffs.
