(Senior) C++ Software Engineer (m/f/x) - Object Storage
Our Hetzner Cloud team consists of around 75 employees and works both remotely across Germany and from our office in Munich (Unterföhring).
Object Storage is the latest addition to Hetzner's portfolio of storage products. Our Object Storage product may be new, but it’s already powering several clusters with dozens of petabytes of capacity - and it’s growing fast.
We rely on Ceph as the underlying storage system. To operate, further develop and scale our large Ceph installations, we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (m/f/d) with excellent C++ skills. You enjoy diving into the Ceph codebase, especially the RADOS Gateway, and actively contributing to the Ceph community.
If you already have Open Source experience, or are motivated to get involved in a project like Ceph, you will be a great fit for us.
Our stack in keywords: Ceph, C++, C, Go, Python and Linux.
