The posting

Location Details:

At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time; others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.​

This is a remote position, so you’ll be working remotely from your home. You may occasionally visit a GoDaddy office to meet with your team for events or meetings.

Join Our Team…

GoDaddy's Global Storage Engineering team operates one of the largest Ceph environments in the industry, powering the object, block, and file storage platforms that underpin hosting, applications, internal infrastructure, and next-generation AI/HPC workloads. If you're passionate about distributed systems, large-scale storage architecture, and solving complex reliability challenges, you'll work on infrastructure that few engineers ever experience.

At GoDaddy, Ceph isn't a side project — it's a critical platform. Our environment spans 80+ production clusters, 20,000+ OSDs, and approximately 300 PB of raw storage capacity, supporting tens of billions of objects across multiple continents. The scale demands deep technical expertise in storage architecture, automation, observability, and performance engineering.

As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you'll be a key technical owner of the platform, responsible for maintaining reliability, driving operational excellence, and influencing the future evolution of our storage ecosystem. You'll tackle challenging production problems, develop automation that operates at massive scale, contribute to architectural decisions, and collaborate with some of the industry's most experienced Ceph engineers. This is an opportunity to have direct impact on a storage platform that serves millions of customers worldwide.

What You'll Get to Do…

  • Own the reliability, performance, scalability, and capacity of large-scale production Ceph environments supporting object, block, and file storage workloads (RADOS, RGW, RBD, CephFS).
  • Diagnose and resolve complex distributed systems issues including recovery/backfill events, OSD instability, PG imbalance, storage latency, and RGW performance bottlenecks.
  • Design and build automation using Python, Shell, SaltStack, and Ansible to reduce operational toil and improve platform resilience at scale.
  • Define and improve observability for the storage platform through SLIs, SLOs, PromQL, LogQL, Grafana dashboards, and proactive alerting strategies.
  • Lead storage lifecycle initiatives including cluster expansions, hardware refreshes, software upgrades, OpenStack integrations, and large-scale migration projects.

Your Experience Should Include…

  • 5+ years operating large-scale Linux infrastructure with significant experience supporting distributed storage systems in production environments.
  • 2+ years hands-on Ceph administration including OSD, MON, MDS, and RGW operations, CRUSH map management, pool design, placement groups, and performance troubleshooting.
  • Strong understanding of Linux internals, storage architecture, networking, filesystems, block devices, and performance analysis under production workloads.
  • Experience developing operational automation and tooling with Python, Shell, and configuration management platforms such as Ansible, SaltStack, Puppet, or Chef.
  • Proven incident response expertise, including production troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, postmortem creation, and implementation of durable corrective actions.

You Might Also Have…

  • Advanced Ceph expertise across RGW Multisite, CephFS, RBD Mirroring, erasure coding, and large-scale cluster design.
  • Experience integrating storage platforms with OpenStack (Cinder, Nova, Neutron, Swift) or Kubernetes storage technologies (CSI, StorageClasses, Rook).
  • Familiarity with modern observability platforms including Prometheus, Mimir, Loki, Grafana, and enterprise monitoring architectures.
  • Experience planning and executing petabyte-scale storage migrations, capacity expansion programs, and storage hardware lifecycle management.
  • Contributions to open-source infrastructure or storage projects and a passion for advancing distributed systems technologies.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
