Senior Software Developer - V-Force

Description

VAST Data is looking to add a V-Force Developer to our growing team!

This is a unique opportunity to join one of the fastest-growing infrastructure companies in history-at the heart of the AI revolution.

"VAST's data management vision is the future of the market." - Forbes

At VAST, we're building the data platform for the AI era-software infrastructure that powers the capture, refinement, protection, and activation of massive datasets across data center, edge, and cloud. Our platform is redefining what's possible in high-performance, scalable data systems, and we're just getting started.

About the Role:

We're looking for an experienced software developer with strong skills in C, C++, or Python to join our V-Force team -a specialized engineering squad embedded within R&D. This is not a support role; this is a hands-on development position focused on solving the most challenging and high-impact problems across our platform.

As a member of V-Force, you'll:

• Debug complex issues in real-world production environments
• Design and develop robust code solutions and enhancements
• Collaborate closely with R&D, product, and field teams on customer feature requests, POCs, and sales enablement
• Tackle real-time performance challenges in large-scale systems
• Contribute directly to the evolution of our file system and storage stack

This role is perfect for a developer who thrives on deep problem-solving, understands systems at the low level, and wants to have a direct line of sight to customer impact.

Requirements

What We're Looking For:

• Strong development skills in C, C++ , or Python
• Systems programming experience and the ability to work close to the OS/kernel level
• Solid understanding of networking concepts (e.g., TCP/IP, OSI layers)
• Familiarity with version control tools (e.g., Git)
• Experience or interest in storage systems, file systems, or block-level storage (a plus)
• BSc/MSc in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
