Object Storage Engineer

At DDN, we build the data infrastructure that powers some of the world’s most demanding AI, analytics, and high-performance computing environments. We’re looking for an Object Storage Engineer who thrives on solving deep systems challenges and wants to help shape the future of large-scale storage platforms.

This is a role for engineers who enjoy solving deep systems problems and want to work on technology that sits at the core of large-scale infrastructure.

• →Design and enhance object storage architecture for scale, performance, and reliability
• →Build and optimize core components using C/C++
• →Work on systems and services with strong S3 protocol requirements
• →Troubleshoot complex storage and systems-level challenges
• →Partner with engineering teams to improve storage capabilities for demanding workloads
• →Contribute to architecture decisions and long-term platform improvements

• Strong hands-on experience in C/C++
• Solid understanding of the S3 protocol
• Proven experience with Object Storage Architecture
• 5-20 years of professional experience
• Current or recent experience in storage, object storage, or closely related systems/infrastructure engineering roles

• Exposure to AI data pipelines
• Experience with distributed systems or infrastructure software
• Background in performance-sensitive engineering environments

• You’ll work on infrastructure that matters to large-scale AI and data platforms
• You’ll solve engineering problems where performance, durability, and architecture are critical
• You’ll be part of a team building technology at the heart of next-generation data systems

• Engineers with real depth in storage and systems engineering
• People who are comfortable working close to the platform, not just at the application layer
• Builders who enjoy combining low-level engineering with architectural thinking

• Candidates whose background is mostly generic backend development without meaningful storage depth
• Engineers who have only consumed S3-based systems, rather than worked on them directly
• Profiles where object storage experience is peripheral or outdated

Apply now - If you have strong C/C++ skills, understand S3, and have built or worked deeply with object storage architecture, DDN would love to hear from you.
