Senior Software Engineer - Software Engineer

** Software Engineer/Senior Software Engineer
** Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact as a
** Software Engineer/Senior Software Engineer
** on our Software Engineering Team in Round Rock, TX:
Hopkinton, MA:
Seattle WA and Raliegh NC.
** What you’ll achieve
** We build enterprise-grade, massively scalable cluster-based storage systems running across Linux and BSD. Our portfolio includes a multi-petabyte S3 object store and a scale-out NAS platform. We’re a modern, scrum-based engineering org that ships with high velocity and quality, using the best tools, hardware, and practices.

As a Software Engineer, you will contribute anywhere in our stack and help us decide where your strengths best fit as you onboard. If you can explain how and where you’ll add outsized value in a distributed storage architecture, we want to talk.
** You will:**
* ** Own problems end-to-end
** across design, implementation, testing, deployment, and supportability—within a cluster storage system.
* ** Build and harden
** distributed services: durability, consistency, replication, data paths, metadata, control planes, scheduling, placement, and lifecycle management.
* ** Optimize performance
** across compute, memory, IO, networking (including RDMA), and storage media (NVMe/SSD/HDD); drive latency and throughput improvements with data-driven profiling.
* ** Advance reliability
** through observability, telemetry, failure injection, chaos testing, and automated remediation; raise the bar on serviceability and supportability.
* ** Contribute to security & compliance
** with secure-by-default engineering.
** Take the first step towards your dream career
** Every Dell Technologies team member brings something unique to the table. Here’s what we are looking for with this role:
