This role offers the opportunity to drive the direction, planning, and execution of the firm's current and future storage needs. A critical position, given the ever-evolving storage needs (with a view to AI), you'll own the vision and develop a roadmap for future solutions, working across engineering teams to execute it.

Requirements

• 10+ years of multi-PB storage deployments in HPC-like environments
• Experience developing advanced storage software solutions and/or leading software development team(s)
• Deep expertise in HPC and scale-out enterprise storage solutions
• Knowledge of distributed file systems used for large-scale cluster computing (Lustre, GPFS, WEKA, S3, CEPH, etc.)
• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills
• Track record of working successfully in a collaborative/cross-team environment

Benefits

• Market-leading salary + bonuses + generous benefits package
• Truly flat management structure, with no red tape
• Friendly, informal yet highly rewarding work culture
