Responsibilities

Design, build, and continuously evolve cloud-native infrastructure storage platforms that support distributed databases, middleware systems, and large-scale data services.
Design scalable and reliable storage platform capabilities, including data placement, sharding, replication, indexing, compaction, compression, validation, backup, and recovery frameworks.
Build infrastructure storage solutions by integrating and extending open-source database, storage, and middleware technologies to meet enterprise-grade platform requirements.
Drive automation for infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and operational workflows using Terraform, Ansible, Go, and Python, including authoring Ansible playbooks and roles that orchestrate database operational tasks across large fleets of distributed database nodes, covering provisioning, configuration, rolling upgrades, patching, backup/restore, and recovery.
Develop reusable platform components and standardized storage capabilities that enable application teams and database teams to efficiently manage large-scale distributed data systems.
Partner with DBAs to design and improve database underlying capabilities, including storage format optimization, indexing strategy, data partitioning, compaction policy, backup architecture, and recovery design.
Design and implement performance optimization solutions across storage engines, system I/O, network communication, resource scheduling, and distributed data-processing paths.
