Remote HighLoad
summary
A 100% remote engineering team builds and runs Virtustream Storage Cloud, an S3-compatible object store holding about 1,000 PB, operated by roughly 40 developers inside a ~200-person org across five time zones. Workflows center on code-as-configuration, automated CI/CD and a self-service platform (Mes/Kubernetes-style) so teams can deploy, monitor and debug without gatekeepers. Hiring is fully remote with a short test (a Fibonacci API plus tests); early infra used Cassandra and the system is production-proven.
