We&rsquo;re ambitious, curious, and gutsy doers. We practice a low hierarchy across the company and high morale in our teams. We&rsquo;ve already achieved a lot, yet we&rsquo;re only getting started. Now it&rsquo;s your chance to join the ride. We offer more than just the job - we offer a career-defining opportunity to be part of building something big!</p><p>
Join Verda while it&rsquo;s still being built - not once it&rsquo;s finished.</p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
About the role</b></h2><p>
We are looking for a Principal Ceph Storage Engineer who is as skilled with people and prose as they are with placement groups. Running a fast-paced environment means we cannot afford &quot;black box&quot; wizards who keep the storage architecture in their heads. We need an articulate architect: someone with deep, long-term Ceph experience who treats documentation as a first-class citizen, loves mentoring, and can act as an open, collaborative bridge between our storage infrastructure and the rest of our engineering organization.</p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Your Responsibilities</b></h2><ul><li><p>
Architect Standalone Storage Ecosystems: Lead the architectural design, capacity planning, and lifecycle management of our global, pure Ceph topology.</p></li><li><p>
Demystify the Storage Layer: Author clear, accessible, and comprehensive documentation, post-mortems, and runbooks so that the broader SRE and On-Call teams feel empowered, not intimidated, by Ceph.</p></li><li><p>
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with compute, networking, and platform teams to understand their storage bottlenecks and co-design high-performance solutions.</p></li><li><p>
Mentor &amp; Elevate: Actively mentor mid-level and senior engineers, raising the collective storage IQ of the entire engineering organization.</p></li><li><p>
Drive Zero-Downtime Upgrades: Lead the orchestration and testing pipelines to seamlessly transition our fleet across major releases (e.g., Reef, Squid) without user impact.</p></li><li><p>
Deep-Level Troubleshooting: Act as the ultimate tier-of-last-resort for complex recovery scenarios (stuck PGs, peering anomalies), while calmly communicating status updates to leadership during high-pressure events.</p></li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Your Key Requirements</b></h2><ul><li><p>
Deep, Long-Term Ceph Expertise: 8+ years of infrastructure engineering experience, with 5+ years solely focused on multi-petabyte production Ceph clusters.</p></li><li><p>
Exceptional Technical Communication: You can break down a complex distributed system failure or a CRUSH map redesign into a clear, concise written narrative. You value clarity over jargon.</p></li><li><p>
Technical Empathy &amp; Collaboration: A track record of working constructively across teams. You don't just say &quot;no&quot; to feature requests; you explain the &quot;why&quot; and collaborate on alternative paths.</p></li><li><p>
Decoupled Identity Concept: Proven success running pure Ceph natively outside of traditional cloud wrappers like OpenStack.</p></li><li><p>
Low-Level Linux Storage Mastery: Profound understanding of the Linux storage stack, including device mapper, NVMe-over-Fabrics, asynchronous I/O frameworks, and kernel/user-space boundaries.</p></li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Nice-to-Haves</b></h2><ul><li><p>
Upstream Ceph contributor (code, documentation, or active bug reporting).</p></li><li><p>
Experience giving technical presentations, writing engineering blogs, or leading internal &quot;brown bag&quot; tech talks.</p></li><li><p>
Experience architecting Ceph CSI plugins within massive, raw bare-metal Kubernetes architectures.</p></li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Why Verda</b></h2><ul><li><p>
Cash + equity compensation along with various fringe benefits (e.g., healthcare, lunch, wellbeing, etc.).</p></li><li><p>
Profitable operations with rapid, sustained growth.</p></li><li><p>
31 nationalities, with 6 different ones on the management team.</p></li><li><p>
An opportunity to make a clear impact and work alongside world-class engineers, researchers, and partners across the global AI ecosystem.</p></li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
