About Backblaze

Backblaze External Website's standard text

Backblaze is the object storage leader in the open cloud movement, fueling customer success with cloud storage built purposefully to unlock budgets, unburden administrators, and unleash innovators. Together with our partners, we’re helping customers break free from the restrictive, overpriced legacy solutions that hold them back, and blaze forward with the full power of the open cloud in their hands.

Founded in 2007, we scaled the business with less than $3 million in outside funding until 2021, when we did a traditional IPO on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Today, Backblaze generates over $100m in revenue and is the leading specialized storage cloud - managing over three billion gigabytes of data storage for 500K+ customers in 175+ countries, including businesses, developers, IT professionals, and individuals.

But while there is a lot to celebrate in our past, there is almost as much opportunity ahead of us. We’re seeking a Sr. Software Engineer to join our team!

What You'll Do:

You will work on our storage platform which supports the B2 Object Storage and Computer Backup products, responsible for reliably storing the customer data. You will help improve durability, increase throughput, and drive architectural changes to support the long term requirements of our service.

The Right Fit:

  • 7+ years of OOP (Java, Rust, C++, C#, etc) in an enterprise environment (personal project work not included)
  • Experience building large scale software systems running on thousands of servers
  • Comfortable with all aspects of the software development lifecycle, including design, implementation, testing, and rollout
  • Exhibits curiosity and seeks to understand before offering solutions
  • Applies analytical thinking to ambiguous problems

Bonus points for:

  • Proficiency in Java or Rust
  • Experience building and interpreting models, dashboards, or reports
  • Familiarity with hard drive performance
  • Understanding of Linux internals and file systems
