Your RoleYou will help us build, operate and industrialize the storage foundation of our on-premise cloud platform.
As part of a small, experienced team, you will own the Ceph clusters behind our block, object and file storage services – essentially the storage every customer workload eventually lands on.
The platform is still actively being built, which means you will have real influence on the storage architecture, hardware lifecycle, automation strategy and technical direction.
The role goes beyond Ceph itself: you will regularly work across bare metal, networking, OpenStack, Kubernetes and GitOps.
As a Senior Engineer, you take ownership of your area and help make storage predictable, durable and highly automated as we scale into the petabytesUnser Tech Stack 🚀· Ceph · OpenStack · Kubernetes · KVM · Linux · Bare Metal · Ansible · Terraform · Go · Cinder ·Neutron · Nova · RBD · Cilium · RGW/ S3 · Prometheus/ Grafana · FluxCD / ArgoCD · Git· Python · Claude Code · Cursor · Agentic Coding ToolingYour ResponsibilitiesDesign, operate and evolve our Ceph clusters for block, object / S3 and file storage - from CRUSH topology and failure domains to pool design, placement groups, erasure coding, capacity headroom and performance.
A key part of the job is automating these processes without creating tenant-visible impact.
Automate the provisioning of storage nodes on OpenStack-managed bare metal, working with Ironic, RAID and disk configuration, SEDs, provider networks and VLANs.
You will also own the artefact path around images, package mirrors, certificates and other dependencies needed to bring up clusters in environments with tightly controlled external connectivity.
