Principal Software Engineer

At Infinidat, a Lenovo company, we empower enterprises and service providers with cutting-edge storage platforms that redefine performance, reliability, and cyber resilience at scale. Infinidat builds enterprise storage systems trusted by the world's most demanding data centers. Our Professional Services team develops and maintains a portfolio of storage management and automation tools that extend InfiniBox capabilities across the heterogeneous environments our customers run.

This is a core engineering role on a small, high-ownership team. There is no dedicated QA, no separate DevOps function, no product manager. The engineer in this role is responsible for the full development lifecycle across the entire portfolio: architecture, implementation, testing, packaging, build pipelines, and release.

The team's solutions must run reliably across a wide range of host operating systems and hypervisors - Linux, Windows, AIX, Solaris, VMware ESX/vCenter, Hyper-V, and Oracle Linux VM - as well as Podman-containerized deployments and Ansible-automated workflows.

If you want to own a meaningful portfolio end-to-end with minimal hand-holding, this role delivers that.

• At least 7 years of Python development with a focus on systems or CLI tooling - not web frameworks

• Demonstrated enterprise storage background: block storage, NAS, replication, host connectivity via FC or iSCSI

• Strong Linux systems proficiency across multiple distributions (RHEL/Rocky, Ubuntu); direct experience building and publishing RPM and DEB packages

• Experience with remote host communication via SSH (paramiko or equivalent) and WinRM

• Container-based build and deployment experience (Docker and/or Podman)

• CI/CD pipeline experience (GitLab CI or equivalent)

• Strong written communication; this team operates async-first across time zones

Preferred Requirements

• Ansible module or collection development; familiarity with Ansible Galaxy publishing

• Direct Infinidat InfiniBox or competitive enterprise array experience (NetApp, Pure, EMC)

• Hypervisor integration experience: VMware ESX/vCenter (pyvmomi), Hyper-V, or Oracle Linux VM

• Windows and AIX host management

• SQLAlchemy or similar Python ORM

• AI-assisted tooling integration

• Experience with Podman quadlets and systemd service management
