About the role
DDN is seeking a Staff Replication Development Engineer to lead the design and development of the replication engine for the Infinia AI Data Platform. This role focuses on building enterprise-grade asynchronous replication capabilities that enable reliable and secure disaster recovery for large-scale data systems.
You will work on developing high-performance replication pipelines, efficient data synchronization mechanisms, and secure data transfer systems. This role requires deep expertise in distributed systems and strong technical leadership to deliver a scalable and resilient replication foundation.
Key Responsibilities
•
Design and develop multi-threaded asynchronous replication systems with parallel streaming capabilities
•
Build object-level delta replication with checkpointing and resume functionality
