What You’ll Be Doing


As an engineer, you will:


Write reliable, testable, fault-tolerant code in go:
This code will interact directly with Linux RAID subsystems
This code will interact with microservices over grpc and graphql
You may need to contribute code to complex upstream projects
For this project, failure means losing customer data - the code will require a thorough, detailed, and thoughtful approach with a focus on data integrity
Automatically detect, correct, assemble, and mounts RAID devices
Familiarity with complex RAID configurations is a plus
Familiarity with mdadm is a plus
These RAID devices will be in unknown states - detecting and accounting for these states will be crucial
Partner with datacenter engineers to:
Understand existing hardware crash recovery procedures
Create a user experience that is intended to be used by non-technical personnel
Create thorough test plans
Design a hardware solution that interacts with multiple harddrives via USB, SATA, or other communication methods:
You will help design and order the hardware required for this project
The chosen hardware must be resilient, fast, highly available, and efficient
You may need to make complex hardware design decisions - for example, you might need to decide which storage transport method makes the most sense given the constraints of the overall project
