Founding Distributed Systems Engineer
Description For Founding Distributed Systems Engineer
Archil is building the next-generation storage platform in the cloud, focusing on creating a Volume storage product that combines the speed of EBS with the scalability of S3. As a Founding Distributed Systems Engineer, you'll work across the stack to solve complex problems and help build Archil volumes. The role offers significant influence over technical and product direction.
The company is tackling the challenge of active data processing for AI and analytics applications by providing a solution that's as fast as EBS, infinitely scaleable like S3, and connects to existing data sets. This architecture simplifies data management by making applications stateless, eliminating cold-start latencies, and removing concerns about checkpointing or backup.
Founded by Hunter Leath, who brings 10 years of experience in cloud storage including work at Amazon's EFS and Netflix, Archil aims to revolutionize how developers build applications in the cloud. The company is fully in-person in San Francisco and is looking for candidates passionate about distributed systems, customer success, and solving significant technical challenges.
The ideal candidate will have 3+ years of experience in distributed systems, strong debugging skills, and deep technical knowledge.
