Staff Software Engineer, ASE Storage Infrastructure

About the role

You will shape Elastic Disk's features and architecture as it scales orders of magnitude, setting the multi-year technical direction for replication, durability, metadata, and the data path. In this role, you will: Own the technical vision for the Replication & Metadata Systems powering Elastic Disk; Evolve our replication protocol to strengthen availability, correctness, durability to improve the overall reliability of the service as we scale. Advance end-to-end durability: next-generation repair, replica reconstruction, continuous scrubbing, replication-metadata checksums, and point-in-time backup & snapshot. Drive performance of the replication and network data path - profiling bottlenecks and evaluating next-gen network stacks to keep replication off the critical latency path. Raise the engineering bar through best practices of AI toolings and insist on high standards for reviews and testing. Represent the team in cross-org efforts to shape a unified replication foundation for Apple's storage backends. Mentor and grow engineers; lead through design reviews, technical writing, and hands-on collaboration with storage engine, control plane, compute platform, and storage reliability partners.
