Position Summary:
Our Client is looking for a Senior Storage Engineer to assist with the implementation and operation of an on-premise Ceph storage cluster. Duties will include configuring services such as the Ceph file system and RADOS object gateway, investigating performance issues, and planning future hardware acquisition to grow the existing cluster.
Principal Duties:
The Universitys High Speed Research Network (HSRN) has provisioned an on-premise Ceph storage cluster to support a compute cluster, primarily by providing RADOS Block Device (RBD) volumes. We are now looking to expand this storage cluster to support further use cases by growing its capacity (currently at 12 petabytes) and offer storage to a wider audience. A critical component of this new offering is a Ceph distributed file system (CephFS) that will be mounted on Linux machines.
• Assist with the deployment and configuration of CephFS
• Monitor for issues and performance concerns with the file systems, clients, or the underlying infrastructure
• Integrate Ceph with our backup solution
• Advise and monitor the integration of the file system with HPC compute machines running Linux
• Write documentation for the cluster and its setup both for internal use (for cluster administrators) and external use (for our end-users, the researchers using the file system for various research activities)
• Analyze researchers use cases and help them adjust their workflow or tune the system towards their goals
Required Qualifications:
• At least one year experience with Ceph and the Ceph file system is required. Advanced knowledge of Linux system administration and performance monitoring is required.
