The Role
We’re looking for experienced distributed-systems engineers to join our Core Product team and advance the next generation of Alluxio’s data-orchestration engine - the foundation for AI and analytics at global scale.
As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll work on high-impact systems problems such as:
1. Optimizing metadata management, caching, and replication across thousands of nodes.
2. Designing concurrent, fault-tolerant services for multi-region and multi-cloud environments.
3. Evolving Alluxio’s storage abstraction and scheduling layer to support large-scale AI/ML data pipelines.
4. Collaborating with internal product teams to push the limits of distributed I/O performance.
This is a hands-on, architecture-plus-implementation role for engineers who love deep systems work and want visible impact in a small, senior, highly technical team.
