Remote Principal Engineer, Cloud Storage Job in UK Equinix

Who you are

• You have a broad background writing software, and operating production systems at scale, in various contexts and have some specialties in modern cloud infrastructure and systems
• You have experience with networked storage (iSCSI, NVMe-TCP, RoCE, NFS, object storage, and MPIO) and able to explain at a high level to a CEO while going deep with technical teams
• Networks aren’t the network architects problem to solve, you’re in deep with them. MPLS, VXLAN, EVPN, DCB, PFC, and multicast are all network technologies you’re comfortable with
• You are equally happy writing an operator in k8s or dropping into the Linux kernel
• You have strong opinions about the direction of cloud infrastructure, but you hold them loosely and enjoy working with others to achieve the best outcomes
• You blur the lines between development and operations. The best team to debug a novel production problem is the team that wrote what’s running
• You're an expert in at least one programming language, proficient with several others, and have opinions about them all. You need to be able to build good, modular abstractions and motivate engineers who are building production software
• You make decisions with data when available, and push for making them available when they aren't
• You enjoy communicating through written English. As knowledge workers, we are effectively teachers and historians
• You're a servant leader, understanding that your team is successful because of you working to empower them and remove barriers
