Software Engineer IV | C++, Linux

Project Description

We require support for the InfoScale project where we are looking for engineers with skills in kernel development specifically related to InfoScale integration as a kernel module with RedHat Linux.

We're looking for an experienced Systems Engineer with a strong background in building large-scale distributed systems and solving complex, low-level problems. This role requires deep expertise in Linux kernel internals, storage systems, and the ability to lead architectural decisions while mentoring other engineers.

You'll work on critical components such as file systems, volume management, and clustering, contributing to highly scalable and reliable infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop systems in areas such as file systems, volume managers, and clustering.
• Work deeply within the Linux kernel, IO stack, and storage subsystems.
• Build and operate large-scale distributed systems with a focus on performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Architect and deliver high-performance, resilient services for enterprise environments.
• Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for complex production issues and implement long-term fixes.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with SRE, Support, QA, and Product teams.
• Drive improvements in system reliability and operational excellence.
• Mentor engineers and help raise the overall bar for engineering quality.

Skills

Must Have

• Strong C/C++ systems programming.
• Solid Linux internals (kernel, IO, file systems).
• Hands-on experience in storage systems / IO path.
• Strong debugging & problem-solving for user level as well as kernel components.
• Minimum of 8 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 6 years and a Master's degree.
• Strong coding, analytical, debugging, and troubleshooting skills.
• Problem-solver who can dive deep to solve complex problems/issues.
• Great communication skills, influence others to adopt inclusive, innovative, and customer-centric behaviors and passion for building quality products.
• Ability to articulate design and implementation choices, communicate complex concepts to diverse audiences; simplifies complexity.
• Independent, self-motivated, creative, willing to learn new technologies, and able to take up multiple roles in a dynamic environment.
• Ability to mentor junior engineers and elevate team-wide quality practices.

Nice to Have

• Experience with microservices and Kubernetes.
• Exposure to AI/ML systems (especially infrastructure-level integration).
