Senior Software Engineer (File System)

About this role

• Nasuni is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our File System team and help build the next generation of Nasuni’s storage platform, including core work on Strider and CUFS, Nasuni’s distributed file system
• This role is for an engineer who enjoys working deep in the stack: high-performance C/C++, file system semantics, distributed storage, protocol behavior, snapshots, caching, recovery, and Kubernetes-based infrastructure. You will design and deliver production-grade components that directly affect reliability, performance, availability, and customer trust
• This role is not a fit for someone focused primarily on application-layer feature development or someone who has only used distributed systems without designing, debugging, or operating them in production
• You will independently own complex subsystems within the File System team, make technical decisions within your areas of ownership, and lead design discussions for storage and data path components. You will collaborate closely with Platform, Control Plane, CI/CD, QA, and SRE-oriented teams to ensure software is reliable, observable, upgradeable, and supportable in customer environments
• You are expected to balance hands-on execution with technical leadership: writing production code, reviewing designs, mentoring engineers, improving operational quality, and using AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly to accelerate development, debugging, testing, and analysis while validating outputs through strong engineering judgment
• Design, implement, test, and operate major components of Nasuni’s distributed file system and data path infrastructure
• Write high-performance C/C++ for kernel-adjacent and user-space storage systems
• Improve file system behavior across snapshots, caching, faulting, eviction, metadata handling, and recovery paths
• Build and harden NFS, SMB, and S3 access layers with attention to protocol correctness, performance, and operational edge cases
• Develop highly available sto...
