About the Role

Lambda is seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join its storage team, responsible for developing and implementing next-generation storage software. This role requires expertise in distributed systems and a deep understanding of storage protocols to build scalable and resilient storage control planes for AI and machine learning infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build a vendor-agnostic control plane that provisions, scales, heals, and meters storage across various platforms.
  • Define an internal abstraction layer to hide vendor-specific APIs and functionalities behind a declarative interface.
  • Build reconciliation-loop and CRD-based orchestration for managing capacity, tenancy, encryption, and placement across data centers.
  • Own multi-tenant isolation, including namespace partitioning, QoS, rate limiting, credential lifecycle, and noisy-neighbor detection.
  • Design the capacity and placement engine considering PCIe topology, NUMA, and failure domains.
  • Instrument all systems, defining SLIs/SLOs, detecting performance regressions, and building an observability pipeline.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in software development for storage systems.
  • Proven experience with distributed systems programming and concepts (load balancers, data-durability, consensus algorithms, fault tolerance, data consistency).
  • Strong programming skills in C, C++, Go, or Python.
  • Experience with Linux kernel internals and system-level programming.
  • Experience with one or more storage protocols (e.g. S3, NFS) and file systems (e.g. Ceph, DAOS).
  • Familiarity with containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD and QA practices for distributed systems development.
