klarasystems.com | Senior OpenZFS Developer | REMOTE | Full-time Contract

We have successfully hired from HN in previous rounds and are looking for another OpenZFS Developer (4+ years of experience) to join our team!

Klara Inc. provides development & solutions focused on open source software and the community-driven development of OpenZFS and FreeBSD. We develop new features, investigate/fix bugs, and support the community of these important open source infrastructure projects. Some of our recent work includes major ZFS features such as Fast Deduplication (OpenZFS 2.3) and AnyRAID: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/17567 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/18406

We’re looking for an OpenZFS Developer with:

- Strong C programming skills and understanding of data structures

- Experience with file systems, VFS, and OS internals (threading, locking, IPC, memory management)

- Familiarity with ZFS internals (DMU, MOS, vdevs, ZPL, datasets, boot environments)

- Ability to work across Linux, and FreeBSD environments

Previous upstream contributions to OpenZFS or other open source projects are a big plus.
