• Monitor and improve system observability using telemetry and metrics
• Plan and execute development tasks using Agile methodologies
• Contribute to technical documentation, design reviews, and internal knowledge sharing

Required Skills

• Strong proficiency in C++ and Python (5+ years)
• Hands-on experience with Ceph (any of RGW, RADOS, RBD, CephFS)
• Solid understanding of Linux internals (I/O, memory management, threading)
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, Rook, and Ceph CSI drivers
• Experience with Git, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines
• Exposure to large-scale infrastructure or cloud-native environments
• Proficiency with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.)

Optional Skills

• Contributions to open-source projects (especially Ceph)
• Experience with cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, or OpenStack
