What You'll Work On:
• Virtualization: virtio-blk and virtio-fs, QEMU and vhost-user, performance-critical I/O paths • Networking: high-throughput VM-to-storage transport over TCP and RoCEv2 (RDMA) • Storage systems: replication, consensus, self-healing, and data migration
What We Expect:
6+ years of professional software engineering experience Strong knowledge of C++ Solid understanding of algorithms and data structures Basic knowledge of operating system internals (I/O, memory, scheduling) Ability to write reliable, maintainable code and debug complex systems Team-oriented mindset and fluency in English
