SwiftStack - http://swiftstack.com/jobs - San Francisco, CA (preferred)

SwiftStack builds and delivers on-premise object storage to companies looking for highly available storage that scales to millions of users. Our product is built around the OpenStack Swift[1] object storage engine and provides management, monitoring, and integration for the entire storage system.

Working at SwiftStack, you'll work with new technology[2], participate in open-source community work, and build a storage engine that is used by millions. We're solving all kinds of interesting problems, and I'd love to work with you to solve them. Three things we're working on right now are:

- building erasure codes into OpenStack Swift[3]

- making clean responsive UIs to simply communicate information about large storage clusters

- analyzing system metrics to intelligently respond to and predict system behavior
