About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- About the RoleWe are building the next generation of stream-native storage systems centered around table semantics — not just logs. Our Stream Storage team develops high-performance distributed systems that power real-time analytics, streaming pipelines, and transactional workloads.
- As a Senior Software Engineer, you will contribute to core stream storage infrastructure, Apache Fluss (open-source), and internal production-grade systems built on Fluss.
- This role sits at the intersection of distributed systems, storage engines, streaming systems, and database internals.
- What You’ll DoCore Engineering
- - Design and implement distributed storage components for streaming tables
- - Work on table lifecycle: schema evolution, ingestion, compaction, retention, indexing
- - Enhance the Fluss Lakehouse ecosystem support
- - Contribute features and fixes to the Apache Fluss OSS project
- - Participate in design discussions and Fluss Improvement Proposals (FIPs)
- - Improve Fluss table engine performance and reliability
- - Enhance integration with streaming engines (e.g., Flink)
- - Engage with the open-source community via PR reviews and discussions
- Internal Platform Development
- - Build internal tooling and services on top of Fluss
- - Improve observability (metrics, logging, failure diagnostics)
- - Optimize production deployments
- - Contribute to benchmarking and testing frameworks
Requirements
What you’ll need- What We’re Looking ForRequired Experience
- - 5+ years building distributed systems or storage systems
- - Strong experience in Java, Go, Rust, or similar systems languages
- - Good understanding of:
- - Consensus and replication (Raft, Paxos, etc.)
- - Storage engines (LSM trees, B-Trees, WAL, compaction)
- - Streaming systems (Kafka, Pulsar, Flink, etc.)
- - Transactional systems and consistency models
- - Experience debugging production distributed systems
- Strongly Preferred
- - Experience with database internals or stream processing engines
- - Familiarity with table formats (Iceberg, Hudi, Delta, etc.)
- - Contributions to open-source projects (better if ASF)
- - Experience with Flink or streaming SQL engines
Benefits
Comp & perks- Why Join Us
- - Work on table-first stream storage, not just message logs
- - Direct impact on Apache Fluss open-source evolution
- - Solve complex consistency and performance trade-offs
- - Influence architectural decisions in a fast-moving space
- - Collaborate with engineers passionate about distributed systems
