What we do

Lucidity is a company that provides an automated NoOps disk auto-scaler for cloud storage across AWS, Azure, and GCP. It addresses over-provisioned block storage by dynamically scaling capacity, increasing disk utilization to around 80% from 25-35%. This results in cost reductions of up to 70% for businesses. Here's a video of what Lucidity does.

Key benefits include:

• Significant Cost Savings on storage (especially EBS costs).
• Elimination of Downtime by preventing disk space issues.
• Reduced DevOps Effort through automation.
• Application Agnostic solution works with various systems.

What you’ll do

• Break things creatively: Design tests that expose weaknesses in storage tiering, kernel interactions, and edge cases
• Find flaws early: Shift-left testing through fault injection, fuzzing, and adversarial approaches
• Automate the chaos: Build test frameworks to simulate filesystem corruption, kernel panics, and recovery scenarios
• Push systems to fail: Artificially induce I/O storms, memory leaks, and resource starvation
• Debug deep: Solve complex issues at the kernel, filesystem, and block device layers
• Lead quality culture: Mentor engineers in defensive thinking with focus on NFRs and establish CI/CD pipelines
