Principal Software Engineer - Linux, Filesystems & Storage

As a Principal Software Engineer focusing on Linux Filesystems and Storage at Red Hat, you will lead the design, development, and optimization of filesystem and storage subsystems within the Linux kernel. You will drive architectural decisions, mentor senior engineers, and contribute upstream to open-source kernel communities. The role involves deep work on filesystem technologies such as XFS, ext4, Btrfs, or similar, as well as block storage layers and related kernel infrastructure. You will collaborate with global engineering teams to solve complex performance, scalability, and reliability challenges in enterprise Linux distributions. This is a highly technical leadership role requiring deep kernel expertise and a track record of significant upstream contributions.
