Member of Technical Staff | Kernel and Storage Systems Architect

An architect level systems role at a flash storage company, working on kernel and storage system design for enterprise arrays. This is the deep end of the stack: storage data path, kernel behaviour and the architecture decisions underneath a product whose entire value is that data comes back correctly and fast. Roles at this level in India are scarce, and most that advertise as systems work turn out to be application engineering, so a genuine kernel and storage architecture post is worth a look. The posting publishes no years figure anywhere, so we have left the field blank rather than invent one, which means it will not appear under any experience filter on this page. The MTS title is the only seniority signal.

This posting publishes no experience figure anywhere in its text. We have written the field blank rather than guess, so the listing sits in no experience band on the page and you should ask for the expected range in the first conversation. Use the title as the signal instead: Member of Technical Staff at this company is the senior individual contributor track, and the Architect suffix on this particular requisition points to someone setting design direction for kernel and storage systems rather than implementing to a spec. What the domain involves, based on the company and the team this sits in: enterprise flash storage arrays, where the engineering problems are data path performance, kernel and driver behaviour, protocol handling across Fibre Channel, NVMe and related transports, failure and recovery semantics, and the architecture that keeps latency predictable under load. Adjacent roles at the same company today explicitly require C, C++ and Python plus Linux driver experience, so it is reasonable to expect a similar technical profile here. Location is Bangalore. Two honest cautions. First, because no years figure is published, there is a real chance the bar is higher than the title suggests, since a comparable kernel role at this employer today states a minimum of seven years while noting candidates typically have ten or more. Second, this employer reposts live requisitions under new reference numbers reasonably often. We compared today's listings against everything published earlier this week and confirmed this one is distinct, but if a listing looks familiar to you from a previous application, it may genuinely be the same job. Good fit for a systems engineer who wants architecture ownership at the kernel and storage layer.
