Senior Systems Engineer for Storage and File Systems in Rust

🧠 Senior Systems Engineer | Storage / File Systems (Rust) | On-site SF

I’m supporting an early-stage search infrastructure company hiring a senior IC to work on storage / filesystem-level systems that sit at the core of their platform.

This is a role for someone who likes being close to the metal: performance, correctness, durability, and real systems constraints.

The work

• Build and evolve storage + persistence components underpinning a modern search platform
• Solve performance-critical, correctness-sensitive problems (the fun kind)

• Contribute directly to a core Rust codebase
• Partner closely with a small team shipping foundational infrastructure

Strong fit if you’ve done work like

• Database internals / storage engines
• Filesystems, OS-adjacent storage, or large-scale storage infrastructure
• Reliability + performance trade-offs in systems that cannot be wrong

Rust is a huge plus (the core codebase is in Rust).

Senior engineers preferred, but exceptional ICs with deep systems experience (or strong research work) are absolutely in scope.

Logistics

• San Francisco - 5 days/week on-site (required)
• Relocation + visa sponsorship available

If you want to work on foundational systems where the design trade-offs genuinely matter, message me.
