Principal Software Engineer – Storage Network Protocols

6 days ago


Hyderabad, Telangana, India Nasuni Full time ₹ 12,00,000 - ₹ 36,00,000 per year

About the role :
We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer with deep expertise in Kubernetes, CSI driver development, and systems programming in Golang and/or C++. In this hands-on role, you will lead the design and implementation of scalable, production-grade integrations that enable our NAS appliance to run natively within Kubernetes environments. You'll develop a custom CSI driver, work closely with NFS / SMB protocols, and optimize storage operations within containerized workloads. Strong knowledge of Linux systems, Kubernetes internals, and cloud-native storage concepts is essential, along with a passion for building reliable infrastructure software used in enterprise-scale deployments.

Responsibilities:


• Lead the architecture, design, and Kubernetes-native deployment of our next-generation NAS appliance, enabling cloud-native workloads to access and manage data efficiently and securely.


• Design and implement a robust CSI (Container Storage Interface) driver to expose the appliance's NAS capabilities (e.g. NFS, SMB) to Kubernetes environments, supporting persistent volumes, dynamic provisioning, snapshots, and related storage lifecycle operations.


• Collaborate closely with product, platform, and architecture teams to define the technical strategy for container storage integration, ensuring that the system supports multi-tenancy, scalability, and high availability.


• Work extensively with storage protocols such as NFSv3/v4, SMB, and CIFS, integrating them into the Kubernetes ecosystem in a performant and secure manner.


• Deeply interact with the Linux subsystem, including the VFS layer, mount namespaces, filesystems, and kernel-level tuning to ensure performance and stability of storage mounts within containers.


• Develop Kubernetes-compliant packaging and lifecycle automation using Helm, Operators, and Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to facilitate deployment and upgrades of the NAS appliance in production clusters.


• Troubleshoot complex issues across distributed systems, networking, and persistent storage layers — including root cause analysis across the stack: containers, orchestration, filesystem, and kernel.


• Act as a subject matter expert (SME) for Kubernetes storage integrations and provide technical leadership in sprint planning, code reviews, and architectural decision-making.


• Mentor junior engineers, foster knowledge sharing, and help build a high-performance, high-collaboration engineering culture.

Required Skills :


• 9+ years of hands-on experience in professional software engineering, with a strong background in building high-performance, scalable, and production-grade systems — preferably in storage or infrastructure-focused domains.


• Advanced programming proficiency in Golang and/or C++, with the ability to design and implement robust, maintainable system components. Should be comfortable working across both user space and kernel-adjacent code paths.


• Proven experience building or contributing to a Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver or Kubernetes-native storage solution. Deep understanding of CSI specifications, driver lifecycle, and integration with Kubernetes control plane.


• In-depth knowledge of Kubernetes internals, including the architecture of:

o Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs)

o Controllers and Operators

o StatefulSets, DaemonSets, and volume lifecycle management

o Scheduling implications of storage and node affinity


• Strong grasp of Kubernetes storage concepts


• Experience with NAS and traditional file-based storage systems, particularly with protocols like:

o NFS (v3/v4) — mount options, lock handling, network tuning

o SMB/CIFS — integration, authentication, performance tuning

o Object storage (S3, MinIO, Ceph, etc.) is a plus


• Deep Linux systems experience


• Hands-on experience with container runtimes, such as Docker, containerd, and CRI-O, with familiarity in troubleshooting and optimizing performance in containerized environments.


• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems (Git), and infrastructure automation tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD, or similar).
