- Driving faster and more reliable incident detection, resolution, and prevention
- Improving capacity planning to avoid emergency scaling and unexpected degradation
- Continuously improving tooling, automation, and operational practices to make the platform easier to operate and scale
What We Look For In You:
- Experience operating large-scale storage systems in production (distributed or vendor-based)
- Strong understanding of Linux, storage performance, and system behavior under load
- Ability to troubleshoot complex issues and drive them to resolution
