Platform Engineer: Storage
Solomon Page is a specialty niche provider of staffing and executive search solutions. They are seeking a Networking Engineer to help build and operate the core infrastructure that powers their product, focusing on designing and deploying production Ceph clusters and developing storage orchestration services.
Responsibilities
Design, deploy, and evolve multiple production Ceph clusters from hardware selection and network architecture to configuration, tuning, and ongoing operations
Build efficient, generalizable APIs that leverage systems/kernel capabilities to enable safe, near-zero-downtime live migrations of stateful workloads
Design and implement storage-orchestration and control-plane services using Go, gRPC, ScyllaDB, and Temporal, connecting storage primitives to higher-level platform abstractions
Write clear Engineering Requirements Documents, taking ideas from conception to scoped tasks, implementation, rollout, and post-deployment evaluation
Develop a suite of foundational storage primitives used by customer applications and internal services, enabling advanced platform features like streaming image pulls, movable build caches, and more
Qualification
Required
You have deep experience building distributed systems and enjoy designing services that are fault-tolerant, resilient, and scalable
You have production experience with distributed block storage systems (e.g., CEPH) or a strong understanding of storage-cluster design from first principles
You understand modern filesystems (Ext4, ZFS, Btrfs), with bonus points for experience with next-gen systems (EROFS, bcachefs)
You have strong intuition for system longevity and lifecycle management. You design solutions knowing that all systems age, where success often means seeing 2–3 orders of magnitude more scale within 12–18 months
You implement with care: You build the solution, instrument it, monitor its boundaries, and document what future engineers need to know when you're not around
You thrive in ambiguity: You can bring clarity, direction, and prioritization in an early-stage environment
You bring grit and ownership. You dive deep into problems, ship pragmatic solutions, scale them as demand grows, and replace them when the time comes
