Senior Ceph Developer (C++ / Python / Cloud-Native Storage)

We are looking for an experienced Ceph Developer to join a team working on the core components of the Ceph distributed storage platform. You will contribute to feature development, performance optimization, and long-term platform stability, working with both upstream Ceph and internal forks.
 

This role combines low-level systems programming, distributed storage engineering, and cloud-native infrastructure in large-scale Kubernetes environments.
 

Core Competence:
 

• 5+ years of professional experience with C++ and Python with strong knowledge of system-level programming and software development practices.
• Hands-on experience with Ceph storage platform components, including one or more of:
  • RGW (RADOS Gateway)
  • RADOS
  • RBD (RADOS Block Device)
  • CephFS
• Strong understanding of Linux internals, including I/O operations, memory management, concurrency, and threading.
• Experience designing and implementing features for distributed storage systems with a focus on performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Practical experience with Kubernetes-based environments, including integration with Rook and Ceph CSI drivers.
• Experience working with Git, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines in software development workflows.
• Familiarity with large-scale infrastructure, cloud-native architectures, and production operations.
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and telemetry systems.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex distributed system issues and debug low-level behavior in production environments.
   

Preferred Qualifications:
 

• Previous contributions to open-source projects, especially the Ceph community.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or OpenStack.
• Knowledge of performance profiling tools, benchmarking methodologies, and storage optimization techniques.
• Experience with object storage technologies, including S3 and Swift protocols.
• Understanding of storage system reliability patterns, data consistency, and fault-tolerant architectures.
• Experience working in Agile teams with technical documentation, design reviews, and knowledge-sharing practices.
   

What We Offer You:
 

• Advanced Infrastructure Projects: Work on a globally recognized distributed storage platform used in large-scale environments.
• Technical Ownership: Contribute directly to performance improvements, architecture decisions, and new Ceph capabilities.
• Open-Source Collaboration: Opportunity to participate in upstream development and engage with the wider engineering community.
• Modern Cloud-Native Stack: Work with Kubernetes, storage orchestration, observability, and large-scale infrastructure technologies.
• Flexible Remote Setup: Fully remote collaboration with an international engineering team.
• Professional Growth: Expand expertise in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and low-level software engineering.
