Low-level Senior Software Engineer, Xet Storage - US Remote

8+ years building and scaling distributed systems, storage, or networking infrastructure.

Proficiency in a low-level systems language, with Rust strongly preferred (we also work in Python, Typescript, Go, and C++ across the stack).

A track record of working independently in a high-trust, low-process environment -- you're comfortable with ambiguity and take ownership end to end.

Comfort operating in a fast-moving, async, and fully remote environment.

A passion for building simple, robust, and scalable systems relied on by engineering and science teams around the world.

Experience designing efficient, high-performance, fault-tolerant data storage and retrieval systems.

Experience operating production systems -- monitoring, alerting, and distributed debugging and recovery.

Familiarity with git internals, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes), databases (relational and non-relational), or networking.

If you love open-source, are excited by the intersection of low-level performance work and large-scale services, and want your code to sit at the foundation of the world's largest platform for AI builders, then we can't wait to see your application!

If you're interested in joining us, but don't tick every box above, we still encourage you to apply! We're building a diverse team whose skills, experiences, and backgrounds complement one another. We're happy to consider where you might be able to make the biggest impact.

At Hugging Face we believe great AI shouldn't require a massive cluster, we build for everyone, especially the GPU-poor. And because we read every application, here's a small sign that you read this one too: start your answer to the first application question with the words “ GPU-poor and proud 🤗”. No trick, no catch, it just tells us a real person is on the other side.
