About WEKA
WEKA is architecting a new approach to the enterprise data stack built for the age of reasoning. NeuralMesh by WEKA sets the standard for agentic AI data infrastructure with a cloud and AI-native software solution that can be deployed anywhere. It transforms legacy data silos into data pipelines that dramatically increase GPU utilization and make AI model training and inference, machine learning, and other compute-intensive workloads run faster, work more efficiently, and consume less energy. WEKA is a pre-IPO, growth-stage company on a hyper-growth trajectory. It has raised $375M in capital with dozens of world-class venture capital and strategic investors, and helps the world's largest and most innovative enterprises and research organizations, including 12 of the Fortune 50, achieve discoveries, insights, and business outcomes faster and more sustainably.
Responsibilities
WEKA is looking for a talented Software Engineer to join its growing Verification Reliability Engineering (VRE) organization. As part of the Apps & Tools team, you'll design and develop Python-based tools and infrastructure that simulate real-world customer workloads and behaviors across WEKA's distributed storage clusters. This is a hands-on software development role that requires strong coding skills, deep technical curiosity, and a system-level mindset. You'll work closely with WEKA's core technology, gaining a deep understanding of the product's architecture, complex features, and interactions between components, and use this knowledge to build scalable verification infrastructure that challenges the core product under realistic, large-scale scenarios.
•Design and develop Python-based tools, frameworks, and infrastructure for system-level verification.
•Build solutions that simulate real customer workloads and usage patterns across distributed storage clusters.
•Deeply explore WEKA's architecture, functionality, and complex product features to identify meaningful verification scenarios.
•Develop scalable solutions that validate core product behavior under complex, real-world conditions.
•Work with large-scale distributed environments, addressing challenges involving Linux, storage, networking, and cluster behavior.
•Collaborate with Core R&D and Verification teams to improve product coverage, reliability, and quality.
•Take ownership of development projects, from technical design through implementation and integration.
Requirements
•5+ years of hands-on software development experience.
•Strong Python programming skills and experience developing complex software systems, tools, or infrastructure.
•Strong Linux knowledge and hands-on experience working in Linux environments.
•Solid understanding of distributed systems and their underlying concepts.
•Experience with storage systems, networking technologies, or complex system-level infrastructure.
•Strong system-level thinking and the ability to understand complex architectures and interactions between components.
•Experience developing scalable solutions and working with complex technical environments.
•Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills.
•Ability to independently explore unfamiliar systems and translate technical understanding into practical engineering solutions.
•Deep understanding of low-level Linux Storage components.
•Experience with C/C++ development.
•Experience with large-scale clusters, performance testing, or workload simulation.
•Familiarity with CI/CD systems and development infrastructure.
Conditions
You'll join a newly established team within WEKA's growing Verification Engineering organization, with the opportunity to build impactful infrastructure from the ground up. This role offers a unique combination of hands-on software development, deep system-level engineering, and exposure to a sophisticated distributed storage platform operating at scale.
