Job Description
Join us to advance the state-of-the-art in storage security technology and serve customers all around the world.
Our team develops Bloombase StoreSafe, a fully-managed data-at-rest security software appliance that enables customers to lock down their crown-jewel data with powerful post-quantum cryptographic technologies. We are researching and developing new security capabilities, pushing the bounds of performance, driving innovative research in distributed storage services for unparalleled scalability and high availability, and investing in user experience.
As a senior technical specialist on the team, you will be instrumental in conducting deep technical investigations and providing advanced problem resolution for our global customers and partners. Your role will involve researching and diagnosing complex issues spanning a vast array of network storage technologies and underlying hardware architectures. Our technical problems span all aspects of network storage technologies - NVMe, RDMA, RoCE, iWARP, Infiniband, FCP, FCoE, iSCSI, NFS, SMB, CIFS, S3, Atmos, REST, HTTP, FTP, SFTP - as well as cryptography: HSM, PKCS#11, FIPS, KMIP, AES, RSA, ECC, qTESTLA, McEliece for datacenter environments including on-premises traditional IT (SAN, NAS, DAS), virtualization (VMware ESXi, VirtualBox), HCI (OpenStack, Kubernetes), edge, CDI (SmartNIC, DPU, IPU) and off-premises cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP). You will collaborate closely with technology alliance partners and engage with product engineers to analyze root causes, propose research-backed solutions, and drive product improvements. You will have the opportunity to interact with technology alliance partners and customers and to work with product engineers to troubleshoot product usage issues and propose improvements. You will solve challenging research-level problems and grow your skills along the way.
If you are excited by the prospect of conducting impactful research to making it easier for customers to secure their crown-jewel data-at-rest at scale; if you are interested in research in operating systems, cryptography, storage networking technologies, distributed systems, and/or developer tools; and if you are looking to work with teammates to propose ideas, experiment, learn, and build great software - we would love to hear from you.
