Senior Software Engineer

At SUSE we’re building the next-generation Software Defined Storage (SDS) solution, and are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join us as part of the SUSE Enterprise Storage team.

As a member of this team, you will have the opportunity to work on, and contribute to, a number of technologies and open-source projects, including Ceph, Kubernetes, Rook (rook.io), Salt, Podman, Python, Go, C++ and more. You will also have the opportunity to work directly with our local sales engineers to ensure our technologies meet the needs of our customers and partners, and are successfully deployed within their unique environments.

We’re looking for someone who is interested in everything from automation, to systems engineering, to operations – someone who enjoys working on complex problems, and isn’t afraid to span the full stack of distributed systems. You should have an analytical mind, experience with computer science concepts and development processes, and a keen interest to learn new things. You must be able to articulate these ideas and assist in bringing these technologies to our customers and partners.

• Experience working in globally distributed teams.

• Experience with Ceph or other distributed storage solution.

• Experience with container orchestration engines and Linux-based container technologies (Docker, Podman); knowledge of Kubernetes would be a plus.

• Experience with Configuration Management tooling (Salt, Ansible, Chef).

• Experience working directly with sales and assisting with both pre-sales presentations and post-sales guidance for customers.
