What is Nasuni?
Nasuni is the new way for enterprises to store, backup, and share files.We built the first global file system based in the cloud, so we scale without the limits of legacy device-based file systems from Dell-EMC and NetApp.Our file services platform enhances cross-site collaboration and accelerates business growth, plus it saves our enterprise customers 60% compared to the cost of separate on-premises NAS, backup, archive, replication, and DR infrastructure.
The Position
Our next-generation storage product needs an experienced kernel developer to help tune, develop and maintain its core operating system. Help us build kernel modules, optimize i/o performance, and deliver rock-solid stability, as we advance the bleeding edge of XFS usage. If you feel you’re the right fit, we want to talk with you! We are open to considering permanent or 1099 contract employees. If you have in-depth filesystem experience you can be located anywhere in the United States, Germany, or the UK. If you do not have filesystem experience or yourfilesystem experience is at the basic level, you must be local to the Boston area.
