We operate at scale, managing fault tolerance and generating critical insights that power the entire storage platform. The work is challenging because we must architect highly efficient, distributed algorithms to manage petabyte-scale metadata while adhering to strict performance and consistency requirements in a fast-evolving cloud-native environment. The team’s primary technology stack:

• C++

• Go

• Python
