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>

About the role</b></h2><p>
We are looking for a Principal DNS Infrastructure Engineer to completely own our DNS ecosystem. You will inherit a platform built on PowerDNS and take it to the next level of massive scale, resilience, and automation. In our &quot;move fast&quot; culture, your goal is to build an API-driven, bulletproof DNS architecture where zone provisioning, subdomain delegation, and record updates happen instantly and programmatically via code, removing all human bottlenecks.</p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Your Responsibilities</b></h2><ul><li><p>
Absolute Ownership of DNS Architecture: Shape, scale, and maintain our global PowerDNS authoritative and recursive infrastructure.</p></li><li><p>
Massive Scale Engineering: Leverage dnsdist for intelligent load balancing, query filtering, and denial-of-service mitigation to keep our DNS layer highly available under extreme loads.</p></li><li><p>
Automate Everything: Use SaltStack and Ansible to drive a strict GitOps model for DNS. Every zone, record type, and configuration change must be managed as code.</p></li><li><p>
Master Subdomain &amp; Multi-Tenancy Routing: Design clean, automated architectures for dynamic subdomain delegation and tenant isolation, ensuring cloud customers can programmatically spin up and tear down records safely.</p></li><li><p>
Architect Anycast DNS: Partner with our networking team to scale our DNS footprint globally using BGP Anycast, ensuring ultra-low latency and seamless failover across deployment regions.</p></li><li><p>
Collaborate &amp; Communicate: Act as the organization's resident DNS evangelist. Write crystal-clear internal documentation and runbooks, ensuring our core SRE and platform teams understand how to interface with your DNS pipelines without fear.</p></li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Your Key Requirements</b></h2><ul><li><p>
Deep PowerDNS Mastery: Proven experience architecting, tuning, and operating PowerDNS components (Authoritative, Recursor, and dnsdist) at massive scale.</p></li><li><p>
Expertise in DNS Mechanics: In-depth knowledge of DNS internals (TSIG, DNSSEC automation, EDNS, SOA timers, and query/response optimization).</p></li><li><p>
Scale &amp; Routing Fundamentals: Solid understanding of how DNS scales using database backends (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and how routing protocols like BGP/Anycast distribute query loads globally.</p></li><li><p>
Automation-First Mindset: 5+ years of experience managing infrastructure via configuration management (SaltStack or Ansible) and treating infrastructure strictly as code.</p></li><li><p>
Clear, Collaborative Communicator: The ability to explain complex DNS routing, delegation anomalies, or propagation delays to external teams and leadership with absolute clarity.</p></li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Nice-to-Haves</b></h2><ul><li><p>
Experience writing custom Lua scripts for advanced traffic management or security filtering inside dnsdist.</p></li><li><p>
Active contributor to the open-source PowerDNS community or related internet infrastructure working groups (IETF/DNSOP).</p></li><li><p>
Experience implementing modern privacy/security protocols at scale, such as DNS-over-TLS (DoT) or DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH).</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>
Practicalities</b></h2><ul><li><p>
Work mode: Remote (EU)</p></li><li><p>
Employment type: Full-time, permanent</p></li><li><p>
Start date: As soon as possible</p></li></ul></div>
