FreeBSD storage engineer at Axcient

We’re seeking an engineer who is passionate about storage technology
and operations to join our cloud engineering team, which manages over
100 PB of data globally. Join a small but elite international team
focused on delivering always-on, fast infrastructure that is the
stable foundation for our private cloud.

What we’re looking for:

* At-scale storage administration experience with FreeBSD and/or
Solaris/illumos.  You can describe tough situations you’ve faced and
what you did and learned
* Understanding of the storage stack from hardware-level storage (SAS,
expanders, multipathing) to HBA to kernel/OS to filesystem to
protocols used to expose data to clients (iSCSI, NFS, SMB, etc.) to
guest VM performance
* Ability to troubleshoot kernel-level / hardware-level /
protocol-level availability, performance, or deadlock situations
  - E.g., using dtrace to diagnose kernel deadlocks or performance issues
  - E.g., troubleshooting disk failures that freeze up the SAS bus
  - E.g., understanding “hotspots” within a storage cloud, finding and
resolving bottlenecks
* Self-starter that is passionate about delivering secure, performant,
and low-latency storage
* Metrics driven, agile with an automation mentality
* Bonus points if you are an engineer who has used and/or contributed
to open source projects including:
  - Salt
  - FreeBSD
  - OpenZFS
  - illumos (or OpenSolaris)
  - Kubernetes
  - OpenEBS

The ideal candidate will eventually be able to work out of our
Smolensk Russia office, however Axcient will consider all qualified
remote-only candidates as well. We are seeking people who match our
values of take-it-own-it, reject mediocrity, be agile, do the right
thing, and team-to-win. If you think you are a good candidate based on
the above description please don’t hesitate to apply.
