Engineering Manager – Ceph & Distributed Storage

We are hiring an Engineering Manager for Ceph & Distributed Storage. The world creates more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day. We want to help teams to store data in open source storage on commodity hardware—safely, cheaply and simply. Our goal is to make Ceph easy to install, manage and use—from large enterprise data center installations to half-rack edge sites. We believe that distributed storage shouldn’t be hard, and to keep up with the increasing data storage demands it needs to be easier than ever before.

• You will lead a team building a Ceph-focused software‑defined storage solution.
• You will build and manage a globally distributed team of engineers.
• You’ll develop your team through coaching, mentoring and feedback.
