The people who thrive here are builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and our company. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
•
Move with Urgency: We move quickly, make thoughtful decisions, and keep momentum. We value action over perfection and learn by shipping.
•
Take Ownership: We own outcomes, not just our individual work. We make decisions that move the company forward and follow through.
•
Communicate Openly: We communicate directly, seek to understand, and create clarity for others. Honest conversations help us move faster together.
•
Build Great Teams: We lead by example, empower others, and create healthy teams where people can do their best work.
•
Raise the Bar: We’re always improving ourselves. We learn from feedback, consistently challenge ourselves to grow, and focus on the work that matters most.
•
Think Long-Term: We design for what’s next. We create scalable systems, simplify complexity, and use AI and automation to amplify our impact.
Lightning AI is seeking a Storage Infrastructure Engineer to join our Infrastructure Engineering team.
In this role, you will focus on building and operating the storage systems that power large-scale AI/ML training, inference, and HPC workloads. You will work at the intersection of software, hardware, and operations—developing automation, improving reliability, and scaling distributed storage systems across our bare-metal infrastructure.
You will help own the data plane of our storage infrastructure, supporting high-throughput, low-latency data access for some of the most demanding AI workloads. You’ll play a key role in managing and evolving our storage stack (including VAST and S3-compatible systems like Ceph), ensuring performance, reliability, and efficiency at scale.
This role may be fully remote within the U.S., or hybrid out of one of our office hubs (NYC, SF, Seattle, or London), with occasional team and company offsites. We are not able to provide visa sponsorship for this position at this time.
