IBM’s Ceph[1] engineering organization is looking for a Software Development Manager to join the CephFS team. In this role you will collaborate with our worldwide Ceph engineering team to develop and enhance CephFS[2], the file system component of the Ceph software-defined distributed storage system. You will be responsible for the team to design and implement new capabilities and features to enable new use cases while improving scalability, performance and efficiency. You will participate in a vibrant and active open source community[3] to deliver enterprise-quality software.
CephFS comprises a wide-ranging software suite including Linux kernel and userspace clients, a clustered userspace metadata server, and a messaging layer for storing data with Ceph’s native object store (“RADOS”), in addition to higher-level APIs for integrating with other systems (OpenStack, OpenShift, an NFS-Ganesha gateway cluster, etc). As a member of the CephFS engineering team, you will have the opportunity to learn and work in many of these areas according to your experience and technical background. This role is specifically focused on experienced developers who are ready to work on new distributed algorithms to build out end-user features of the filesystem, such as instant cloning, file overlays, and cohernet snapshots across multiple clients with a coherenet distributed cache.
"You will work with a worldwide team so communication is key. You will collaborate with others using modern open source tools including git (and GitHub), Jenkins, Redmine, and community-developed testing and validation tools.
