Want to join the leader in AI-powered data security?

As part of this core development team, you will design and build massively distributed systems at web-scale. You will be building the core backend of the Cohesity Data Platform and Cohesity SpanFS (limitless Filesystem). Cohesity Data Platform is a limitless scale out system. It is the industry’s only hyperconverged platform designed to consolidate ALL secondary storage and data services built on web-scale distributed architecture. Cohesity SpanFS was built to consolidate all secondary storage and eliminate legacy storage silos. It’s the only file system that combines NFS, SMB and S3 interfaces, global deduplication, and unlimited snaps and clones, on a web-scale platform. No more compromising between enterprise and cloud stacks! There will be a large variety of features to work on including: hyper-convergence, distributed data path, distributed filesystem, data across thousands of nodes, object storage, cloud services, asynchronous programming, performance optimization, software-defined infrastructure, consensus protocols, massively parallel and distributed data sets, infinite scalability, snapshots, resiliency, deduplication, compression, replication, multiple protocols, fault-tolerance, infrastructure and more that we cannot disclose yet. We are looking for exceptional Engineers/Leads who bring the experience of building LARGE distributed systems and solving complex problems
