Software Engineer (Systems Engineer)

Our Company

BioTuring is an innovative bioinformatics company that develops algorithms, and agentic AI software to serve scientists from hundreds of pharmaceutical companies and leading research institutions, enabling discoveries about human diseases.

Role Description

We’re looking for a Systems Engineer who knows Linux from kernel to wire – from filesystem internals and block schedulers to high-speed network file systems like NVMe-oF, iSCSI, and Ceph. You’ll architect, tune, and maintain the backbone of BioTuring’s AI, software, and data infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, compile, and tune custom Linux kernels for HPC, I/O, and network performance.
• Optimize storage stack: block layer, I/O schedulers, NVMe, and network-backed filesystems.
• Configure and maintain distributed storage systems: Ceph, ZFS, GlusterFS, iSCSI, NVMe-over-Fabrics.
• Debug low-level performance issues (IOPS, latency, interrupts, page cache, NUMA).
• Build automated benchmarking and stress-testing for throughput and reliability – build at petabyte scale
• Implement fault tolerance, replication, and disaster recovery strategies.
• Collaborate with GPU and data science teams to maximize data pipeline efficiency.
• Contribute to observability and tracing using perf, eBPF, ftrace, tcpdump, iostat, blktrace.
• Drive the development and execution of disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
• Monitor and tune platforms to ensure expected availability and performance levels are achieved.
• Maintain software and systems roadmaps that balance maintenance and routine upgrades, new features, system architecture considerations, and regulatory requirements.
• Formulate packages for software distribution and patching.
• Ensure that all infrastructure follows security best practices and aligns with company policies and industry standards. 
• Serve on an on-call schedule to address urgent issues requiring support outside of normal working hours.

Requirements

• 7+ years in Linux systems programming, kernel tuning, or HPC ops.
• Deep understanding of filesystems, storage protocols (iSCSI, NVMe-oF, NFS, SMB), and network stack tuning.
• Experience with kernel builds, driver debugging, or BPF-based profiling.
• Proficiency in Bash, Python, Go, or C for automation and tooling.
• Familiar with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Knowledge of RDMA, InfiniBand, or 100 GbE+ networking
• Fluent in English, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently as well as in a team.
  

Preferred

• Contributions to the Linux kernel or open-source storage/network projects.
• Experience with Ceph or Lustre in production HPC or AI environments.

We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• A worldwide collaborative and supportive work environment.
• A chance to learn and grow your career in bioinformatics.
