Linux Core Platform Storage Development Lead

As an experienced Storage Subsystem Developer with 8 to 10+ years of expertise, you will be responsible for architecting and leading the development of storage subsystems for Linux-based embedded or server platforms. Your key responsibilities will include designing and implementing storage stacks, defining architecture for storage interfaces, optimizing performance, power efficiency, and reliability on target platforms. You will also be involved in driver development and integration, maintaining Linux kernel drivers for storage devices, ensuring alignment with mainline Linux, integrating vendor storage controller IPs and firmware, and working with various file systems such as ext4, f2fs, xfs, and btrfs. Your expertise in optimizing storage stack performance using IO schedulers, caching strategies, and tuning will be crucial. Data integrity, reliability, and power resilience are critical aspects of your role. You will implement features like journaling, wear leveling, secure erase, and TRIM, ensuring data integrity during power loss and collaborating with hardware teams on power management integration. Collaboration with cross-functional teams including SoC vendors, QA, product management, firmware, and hardware teams is essential for seamless storage handling. You will also be responsible for debugging and performance analysis using tools like blktrace, iostat, fio, perf, strace, and kernel logs to address performance issues and field incidents. Compliance and validation form another key area of your responsibilities, where you will validate storage against industry standards and ensure support for secure boot, encrypted storage, and security policies. As a mentor and leader, you will lead a team of kernel and platform developers, conduct code reviews, and establish best practices for Linux storage development. Your required expertise includes strong knowledge of Linux storage subsystems, proficiency in C and kernel debugging techniques, hands-on experience with storage protocols and interfaces, deep knowledge of file systems, expertise in performance tuning, familiarity with various tools, and understanding of security aspects related to storage handling. Experience with Yocto/Build Systems would be useful. If you are a seasoned Storage Subsystem Developer looking to leverage your skills in a challenging and dynamic environment, this role offers you the opportunity to lead storage subsystem development, drive innovation, and mentor a team of developers in a collaborative work setting.,
