WHY WE NEED YOU ?
Our growth is driving us to strengthen our Object Storage team to bring core DevOps and infrastructure engineering capabilities to our product squad and ramp up our team's structural autonomy.
Your mission will be to drive critical architecture projects, design new service classes, and implement new technical features for our Object Storage product in order to ensure maximum platform reliability, support new regional expansions, and handle massive workloads constraints (100+ Petabytes).
YOUR FUTURE TEAM :
We work in a collaborative and international environment where the diversity of Scalers, combined with a spirit of sharing, helps bring new projects to life every day, advancing our ambitions together.
You will be part of a team of 3 individual contributors (making you the 4th member of the squad). As part of the specialized Object Storage team, you are the technical owner of Scaleway's S3-compatible platform. You will work closely with the Beekeeper team (developing the underlying SDS backend) and the SRE Storage team (handling live infrastructure operations), managing a massivescale deployment across over 1,000 servers.
