🎯 The Role

As a Staff Infrastructure Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and operating large-scale storage systems, ensuring they are easy for business teams to use and cost-efficient.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Design storage architecture around workload needs, defining data layout, partitioning, indexing, metadata, and access patterns.
• Drive down total cost through tiering, lifecycle management, compression, deduplication, and reduced data movement, with explicit durability and performance targets.
• Build practical storage interfaces and self-service capabilities; make ingestion, discovery, access, and troubleshooting straightforward for users.
• Align product, data, research, and infrastructure teams on requirements, ownership, and migration plans; lead adoption and verify improvements in production.

📌 Required Qualifications

• Deep experience designing and operating large-scale storage systems, with sound judgment on consistency, replication, failure recovery, and capacity planning.
• Hands-on ability to diagnose I/O bottlenecks and optimize data structures and read/write paths against representative workloads.
• Strong cost discipline: you can quantify storage, requests, retrieval, network transfer, and operational overhead, then validate savings without compromising agreed service levels.
• Exceptional cross-team communication and collaboration: you can reconcile conflicting needs, explain tradeoffs, build consensus without direct authority, and follow through on shared commitments.
• Product sense and technical taste, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and turn recurring business needs into simple, maintainable infrastructure.

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience delivering storage migrations or shared data services across teams is a plus.
