Job Description

We are seeking a skilled and driven S3 Storage Engineer with deep expertise in object storage platforms including AWS S3, NetApp StorageGRID, and Dell EMC ECS. The ideal candidate will come from a developer background, capable of going beyond infrastructure to analyze and review customer application code that integrates with S3-based storage systems. This is a hybrid role combining storage engineering and developer advocacy, helping customers optimize performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency in their object storage environments. Key Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and support scalable S3-compatible storage solutions across AWS S3, NetApp StorageGRID, and Dell ECS platforms.
• Troubleshoot and optimize S3 interactions, performance issues, or integration problems across cloud and on-prem environments.
• Collaborate directly with customer engineering teams to review application code, ensuring best practices for S3 usage, data durability, and security.
• Create tooling and automation (Python, Go, or similar) to assist with storage analytics, monitoring, and lifecycle management.
• Drive architecture improvements and storage migration strategies based on customer needs and usage patterns.
• Stay current with the S3 protocol ecosystem, SDK changes, and vendor-specific features (e.g., object locking, replication, metadata tagging).
• Support pre-sales efforts and provide guidance on best-fit object storage solutions for enterprise use cases. Required Skills & Experience
• 5+ years of experience with object storage technologies, including:
• AWS S3 (core concepts, SDKs, lifecycle rules, encryption, permissions)
• NetApp StorageGRID
• Dell EMC ECS
• Strong software development background, preferably in Python, Java, or Go
• Proven ability to dive into customer codebases, perform code reviews, and suggest improvements for S3 integrations
• Familiarity with S3-compatible APIs, custom integrations, and performance tuning
• Experience working with cloud-native application architectures, microservices, or containerized environments
• Solid understanding of networking, storage architectures, and data durability strategies
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with hybrid or multi-cloud object storage architectures
• Prior customer-facing or consulting experience
• Contributions to open-source S3-compatible tools or SDKs
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Understanding of compliance and security models for object storage (e.g., object locking, WORM, KMS integration
