Railway - Infra Eng-Storage, Infra Eng-Observability, Product Design

• Design and evolve multiple production Ceph clusters, from hardware design, to driving network requirements to configuring, tuning and operating clusters and their clients • Create efficient, generalizable APIs using systems/kernel features to provide safe, as-fast-as-possible live-migrations of stateful workload between hosts • Design and build API and Orchestration services to tie storage primitives to higher level primitives using Go, gRPC, ScyllaDB and Temporal • Write Engineering Requirement Documents to take something from idea, to defined tasks, to implementation, to monitoring it’s success • Design build a suite of storage primitives that can be used by customer applications, internal services and enable higher level platform features such as streaming image pulls or movable build caches • Experience architecting and implementing distributed systems. You enjoy building fault tolerant, resilient, and scalable services • Production experience with distributed block device systems (e.g Ceph) or a solid understanding of network storage cluster design from first principles • Understanding and experience with current gen filesystems (Ext4, ZFS, BTRFS). Bonus points for next gen (EROFS, bcachefs) • A solid intuition about how long your solutions will last. All systems age. In startups, we can hope for 2-3 orders of magnitude, or 12-18mo. • The tact to implement your solution, creator monitors for it’s error boundaries, and document any requirements for when you’re not around • A great sense of direction and prioritization when it comes to dealing with the ambiguity of an early stage startup • A sense of grit to dive into a problem, implement a solution, scale that solution, and replace it when needed • A great set of communication skills for getting your point across, solution implemented, and beyond • We value and love to work with diverse persons from all backgrounds • Things to know • For better or worse, we're a startup; our team dynamics are different from companies of different sizes and stages. • We're distributed ALL across the globe, and that's only going to be more and more distributed. As a result, stuff is ALWAYS happening. • We do NOT expect you to work all the time, but you'll have to be diligent about your boundaries because the end of your day may overlap with the start of someone else's. • We're a small team, with high ownership, who are not only passionate about what we do, but seek to be exceptional as well. At the time of writing we're 21, serving hundreds of thousands of users. There's a lot of stuff going on, and a lot of ambiguity. • We want you to own it. We believe that ownership is a key to growth, and part of that growth is not only being able to make the choices, but owning the success, or failure, that comes with those choices.
