Ensure migrations with millions of files finish on schedule
Design end-to-end checks including checksums, validation passes and reconciliation reports
Build resilience against throttling, gateway timeouts, flaky customer networks and unstable third-party storage
Drive observability through structured logs, metrics and alerting for agents across customer environments
Lead incident investigations and turn post-mortem findings into lasting fixes
Improve release safety through staged rollouts, version compatibility and upgrades for customer-installed software
Manage the control plane on Kubernetes with GitOps
Partner with Product, Professional Services and Support to turn migration problems into roadmap priorities
Act as senior technical voice on escalations involving largest customers

Requirements

What you’ll need

7+ years building production software, including several years owning the design of distributed systems or data-intensive services
Strong in Go
Intermediate in Java (or another systems language such as Python, plus willingness to work mainly in Go)
Deep understanding of file systems and storage: SMB/NFS shares, object storage (S3, Azure Blob/Files, GCS), metadata, permissions/ACLs, and why moving files at scale is hard
Hands-on experience making systems reliable over unreliable networks: retries, timeouts, backpressure, rate limiting, idempotency and long-running resumable jobs
Experience running services on Kubernetes in a major cloud (GCP, Azure or AWS), with solid habits around observability and incident response
A track record of leading technical work across teams: writing designs, driving decisions, and delivering complex projects to production
Clear communication with engineers, customers and leadership alike
Experience with large-scale data migration, backup or sync products, or with tools like rclone
Experience shipping software that runs on customer machines (Windows services, installers, auto-update, edge appliances)
Experience integrating with cloud content platforms' APIs (SharePoint/OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive), including their throttling and pagination
Experience with hybrid-cloud or customer-owned-storage setups
Experience applying AI/LLM tooling to operations: log triage, automated diagnostics, support automation
