- Experience with one or more of the major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Functional working understanding of Kubernetes and working with containers to manage applications (we manage clusters in our on-prem locations as well as in the "cloud")

What the job involves
- As an SRE at Qumulo, you will help to develop solutions that help to manage and monitor applications we use internally and to support our customers
- We manage our internal build and test infrastructure which includes running multiple builds and hundreds of thousands of tests continuously in both on-prem environments and on the cloud (such as AWS and Azure Native Qumulo Scalable File Service [ANQ])
- This build and test environment is a core part of our engineering processes, providing continuous feedback to our engineering teams and allowing us to deliver new product releases regularly throughout each year
- We also build and operate managed components of ANQ, delivering a highly available service to customers and keeping the service up to date with our latest features
- We work across engineering, product and customer success teams to identify opportunities to improve our processes and ensure that our existing systems are available and working as expected
- We implement solutions that reduce work through automation, providing scalable solutions that span our on-prem and cloud environments
- We help manage the operating expense of running systems across multiple clouds
- We help drive down failures by providing frequent feedback to engineers on their changes with high quality test analytics
- You will collaborate with a team that identifies opportunities, plans new features, and implements solutions. You will work with team members to build a backlog and deliver solutions iteratively.You will troubleshoot build and test failures, diagnosing problems that vary from build time compilation failures to integration test failures involving both virtual machine instances and Qumulo qualified hardware. You will implement monitoring to ensure that systems are working as expected and can raise alerts when problems are detected
Our take
Modern businesses process, generate and store vast amounts of data, and this is only accelerating as companies adopt hybrid and remote work and find new ways to take advantage of the information they are accumulating. However, this data has to be stored somewhere, and as businesses scale they find they run out of room. Qumulo exists to offer an alternative to costly in-house solutions with a petabyte-scale data storage solution.
Qumulo offers a variety of cloud, hybrid and on-premises storage options, each taking advantage of the latest advances in storage technology, allowing a company to reliably scale its data requirements without costly infrastructure upgrades. Its platform also embeds a range of tools for creating workflows and applications with the file data for easy management and migration to cloud servers. This flexibility has seen Qumulo's product use by hundreds of companies from a range of business sectors including Industrial Brothers, UC San Diego SuperComputer Center and Progenity.
Qumulo has grown rapidly since its founding, experiencing 100% year on year growth through 2020 and attracting a large infusion of funding in a Series E round led by Blackrock. It has been investing heavily in its platform and technology, specifically taking advantage of increasing capabilities and decreasing costs in flash storage. As the data requirements of business only increase, Qumulo seems well positioned to continue its success streak.
