HCI Platform Architecture: Design and maintain the core HCI software stack including the distributed resource scheduler, software-defined storage engine, and virtual networking fabric that underpin Quantum's hyperconverged appliances.
Performance & Resource Efficiency: Profile and optimize resource contention across compute, storage, and network layers. Work with technologies like iSCSI, NVMe-oF, SR-IOV, and DPDK to minimize overhead and maximize workload density on shared HCI nodes.
Fault Tolerance & Self-Healing: Implement and maintain features such as automatic node failure detection, live VM migration, distributed snapshot management, and self-healing storage policies to ensure continuous availability of HCI workloads.
Virtualization & Workload Management: Develop and extend integrations with hypervisors (KVM, VMware, Hyper-V) and container runtimes (Kubernetes, Docker) to enable seamless workload placement, live migration, and QoS enforcement across the HCI cluster.
Scale-Out & Lifecycle Management: Ensure the HCI platform scales linearly as nodes are added, automating data rebalancing, capacity expansion, and rolling software upgrades without disrupting running workloads.
