About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and implement core Agent Drive features: metadata replication, volume placement, garbage collection, and FUSE client behavior
Solve multi-attach correctness, including cache coherency across many FUSE mounts, dentry and inode invalidation, write ordering, and crash consistency
Optimize tail latency on read and write paths, including page cache strategy, writeback, prefetch, and metadata RPC batching
Build tenant isolation into the storage layer, including quota enforcement, blast-radius containment, and noisy-neighbor mitigation
Own the storage side of sandbox startup and resume performance
Build durable block storage for sandboxes alongside other Baseten storage teams
Build observability into every layer, drive storage incidents end to end, and turn each one into a permanent fix
Contribute upstream to the open-source storage projects the team builds on

Requirements

What you’ll need

Strong systems programming background in Go, Rust, and/or C/C++, with comfort reading kernel code
Deep understanding of Linux filesystem and storage internals: VFS, page cache, dentry and inode caches, FUSE, the block I/O stack, fsync semantics, and crash consistency
Hands-on experience building distributed storage systems, content-addressable storage, or large-scale caching infrastructure
Experience profiling I/O, memory, and RPC bottlenecks and optimizing tail latency in production
Ability to debug correctness bugs that only show up under concurrency or partial failure
You move fast and like owning a problem end to end on a small team
