Datto | Sr. Software Engineer | Boston, MA / Norwalk, CT / Rochester, NY | ONSITE
Datto provides data protection, business continuity, networking, business management, and file backup and sync products.
Description: The Core Products Team maintains and develops new features for all of Datto’s backup appliances (SIRIS, Alto). In a nutshell, the backup appliance is a physical (or virtual) appliance that takes block-level backups of Windows, Mac, and Linux machines turn them into raw disk images and stores them on a local ZFS-based disk array. In the case of a disaster, our customers can then restore these backups/disk image instantly as KVM-based virtual machines, iSCSI targets, Samba shares, and many other formats. We also offer a virtual VMware/Hyper-V-based appliance and integrate with their hypervisors. We write code in modern Symfony-based PHP (with some Python and C sprinkled in), but we strongly rely on our Ubuntu-based Linux stack. Our appliance has a web UI (much like a router), but the main magic happens in the backend services and processes. We do amazing and exciting things every day, such as detecting when a VM has booted successfully, injecting drivers into the Windows registry before boot, or generating vmdk files on the fly. [More about the job on the website (see below)].
Responsibilities: You’ll work in one of our three Scrum teams, developing our SIRIS and Alto product. Each team consists of about five engineers. Work hours are usually around 9-5, though we're pretty flexible with that. Working from home is also possible, although not encouraged.
Qualifications: We're looking for a senior engineer with deep Linux know how -- ideally with knowledge in virtualization (VMware ESX, Hyper-V, libvirt, KVM/QEMU), software defined networking and file systems (such as ZFS and Ceph).
