Senior Software Engineer, Storage Systems
ByteDance, San Jose, California
The role
You will analyze the performance bottleneck and optimize the Linux storage path for high-performance, reliable compute platforms. Your work will span the block layer, file systems, NVMe and device drivers, memory and I/O interactions, observability, and failure recovery. You will own substantial storage features and difficult production issues from measurement through implementation and validation, with clear accountability for latency, throughput, availability, and data integrity.
The team
We are a systems software team building the foundational software for large-scale compute platforms. We work at the hardware/software boundary across the Linux kernel, accelerators, storage, firmware, and platform validation. We value rigorous engineering, clear interfaces, measurable performance and reliability, and upstream collaboration where appropriate. The team partners closely with hardware, architecture, product, validation, and production engineering groups to move new capabilities from design through dependable deployment.
