Senior Software Engineer

About the Position

MinIO is the data and memory foundation for enterprise AI. Built for the speed, scale, and economics that AI and analytics demand, AIStor and MemKV unify every layer of the data stack, from agentic and inference context memory to tables and objects across core, edge, and cloud. Trusted by 77% of the Fortune 100, MinIO is redefining how AI factories, intelligent applications, and autonomous agents secure, persist, and unlock the full value of their data.

We’re building the complete data stack for AI - exascale object store, table store, agent memory, and brain: every layer of how AI stores, retrieves, and thinks over data. Hard problems with no existing answers. Bring your own.

You’ll own problems end-to-end - the kind most engineering teams never get close to. No ticket queues, no standups, no permission. Just you, the codebase, and a team of people who care as much as you do. Everyone here is an IC, an architect, or a lead - most are all three.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to building the complete data stack for AI

Requirements

• Deep knowledge of Operating Systems

• Strong opinions on memory, concurrency, and correctness
• Fluent in ≥2 programming languages
• Experience with Systems Programming, Distributed Systems, Storage Engines, Vector/Graph Retrieval, Low-Latency I/O, and Protocol Design
• Ability to debug by understanding, not by guessing
• Grit: you start hard things and finish them
• Curiosity you genuinely can’t switch off
• Low ego, extremely high standards
• Write code the next engineer respects

We Offer

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• 401K with 3% Contribution
