A WORLD-CHANGING COMPANY

Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

THE ROLE

Join the Substrate Edge Team at Palantir, where we are responsible for mission-critical production infrastructure — encompassing hundreds of Kubernetes clusters across on-premises deployments, from large data centres to small-footprint edge devices. We are now seeking a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with specialised experience in Ceph to boost the scale and reliability of our ruggedised Kubernetes offerings under novel operating constraints.
If you are passionate about infrastructure at scale, have a deep understanding of Ceph, and are eager to engage with the broader open-source community, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you will leverage your expertise in Ceph to manage and optimise storage solutions at scale, ensuring seamless integration with our Kubernetes infrastructure. You will play a key role in automating hundreds of deployments of Ceph clusters on heterogeneous hardware, and making core contributions to the broader Ceph and CNCF communities.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• 
  
  
  
• Manage Ceph at Scale: Design, deploy, and maintain Ceph storage solutions across diverse hardware environments, ensuring high availability and performance under challenging constraints.

• Automate Deployments: Develop and implement automation strategies for managing multiple Ceph deployments, reducing manual intervention and enhancing operational efficiency using world-class tooling.
• Innovate and Contribute: Drive the adoption of novel features and tools within the Ceph and CNCF ecosystems, contributing upstream as necessary to improve the broader community.
• Engage with Communities: Actively participate in the Ceph developer community and the CNCF, sharing insights and collaborating on open-source projects.
• Infrastructure Excellence: Collaborate with the team to design and build the next generation of Palantir’s infrastructure, focusing on systems that are scalable, stable, and secure.
