Strong background in system-level tools (e.g., perf, ftrace, bpftrace, nvme-cli, or similar). Deep understanding of NVMe, CPU and memory hierarchy, caching, thread scheduling, and Linux kernel internals. Experience optimizing compute- or data-intensive applications such as AI inference, search, or analytics. Proficiency in C/C++ or Rust and scripting languages such as Python or Bash. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially around technical reporting and architectural recommendations. Preferred Qualifications Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Milvus, Weaviate) and LLM inference pipelines. Experience with SPDK, RDMA, or high-performance I/O libraries. Exposure to storage telemetry, AI model performance tuning, or multi-tenant throughput optimization. Experience working in highly scaled distributed systems or HPC environments. This position requires participation in an on-call rotation to provide after-hours support as needed. Success Metrics - First 30 Days Visibility & Integration Establish baseline performance benchmarks across Infinia subsystems and components. Deploy instrumentation and telemetry hooks for critical paths from app layer to storage. Early Wins Deliver a performance deep dive or RCA on an identified bottleneck impacting an AI workload. Propose a prioritized list of performance improvements and related ownership areas. Team & Process Engagement Begin collaborating with 2-3 core component teams on performance-focused epics or tuning initiatives. Integrate performance regression checks into the CI pipeline or release workflows. Success Metrics - Beyond 30 Days Measurable improvements in end-to-end latency, IOPS, throughput, or resource utilization across benchmarked workloads. Performance transparency across teams via regular reports, dashboards, or incident retrospectives. Influential contributions to system architecture based on empirical performance data.
