Software Development Engineer (Seattle) - Internship 2027

Qumulo is a software-defined cloud data platform. Our core is a distributed storage operating system in C & Rust, holding exabytes in the datacenter, at the edge, and natively in the cloud. Qumulo serves everything from a hospital's medical imaging archive to an animation studio's render farm in an environment where 99% correct doesn’t cut it.

About the Role:

Joining us for our Summer 2027 internship program, you'd learn and work across our distributed storage engine and the services that help customers store, manage, and protect their data, under the guidance of experienced senior engineers.

This includes a fault-tolerant block layer that erasure-codes and distributes data beneath the file system, a transactional file system where aggregates roll up as they change so a query across billions of files answers in real time instead of walking a tree, and that same machinery drives quotas, capacity trends, snapshot policy, multiple access protocols, plus replication and backup - all running in userspace.

All of which makes Qumulo a distributed operating system problem: scheduling, memory hierarchy, protection, and concurrency. We're AI-forward and specific about what that means. You will learn to use agents to help write code while developing your engineering judgment to ensure every design decision is correct
