Original job description

Archived listing. The details below describe a past opening.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Architect Semantic Connectivity: Develop and maintain the software layer that exposes existing NAS environments (NFS, SMB, S3) to AI agents and LLM frameworks through modern API abstractions and MCPs
Implement Model Context Protocol (MCP): Lead the implementation of MCP servers to provide a standardized interface for AI models to safely and efficiently browse, read, and interpret data within our HPC storage
Semantic Discovery & Agentic Connectivity: Design automated systems to deconstruct the implicit context stored in long-path hierarchies and file headers, architecting the "connective tissue" (REST, gRPC, MCP) that enables AI agents to resolve complex creative queries without needing direct knowledge of underlying mount paths or protocols
Cross-Disciplinary Collaborator: Act as a critical "bridge" across technical storage teams, software tool designers, and creative artists - adapting your communication style to translate deeply technical concepts into practical, workflow-enhancing solutions for non-technical users
Data & Metadata Orchestration: Manage the state and relationship between raw file data and its digital twin in the metadata layer, ensuring that relational and semantic data remain in sync as the studio library evolves
Context Feature Enablement: Enable "smart" features within existing storage such as auto-tagging, similarity search, and automated summarizing
On-call: Ability to participate in an on-call rotation for critical issues

QUALIFICATIONS:

Full-Stack Storage Expertise: Ability to bridge the gap between the data center and the AI agent. You leverage your background in architecting, managing, and troubleshooting physical and/or virtual storage solutions to inform how agentic workflows and metadata pipelines access underlying data at petabyte scale
Broad Protocol Knowledge: Expertise in how data is accessed and managed across NFS, SMB, and S3. You understand the nuances of file-locking, permissions, and latency across different storage protocols
API & Middleware Development: Proven experience building APIs (REST, gRPC) and middleware that sit between raw storage and application layers
Model Context Protocol (MCP) & AI Tooling: Understanding of MCP and how to build tool-calling interfaces for LLMs
Metadata Engineering: Proven ability to design schemas and indexing pipelines using Kafka, ElasticSearch, or Vector DBs to represent physical files as semantic entities
3+ Years of Software-Driven Infrastructure: Recent experience in scale environments where you've transitioned manual workflows into programmatic, API-driven services
The Translator Mindset: Ability to translate abstract creative needs (e.g., "I need to see all iterations of this scene") into technical metadata queries that return precise results
Versatile Backend Development: High degree of comfort working across various programming languages to build the foundational "glue" that connects storage metrics and file data to agentic frameworks; deep proficiency in Python is a significant plus

PREFERRED SKILLS:

Modern AI Frameworks: Hands-on experience with agentic libraries, with a focus on building custom data connectors and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures
Containerization & Orchestration: Experience with Docker and Kubernetes for scaling metadata extraction and embedding workers
HPC Awareness: Understanding of the performance characteristics of high-end storage (Vast, NetApp, StorageGrid, AWS) and how to minimize the overhead of metadata operations
Creative Pipeline Interest: A passion for digital content creation and an interest in how AI can accelerate and modernize production workflows
