Software Development Engineer (Seattle) - Internship 2027

Qumulo•Seattle, WA

About The Position

Joining Qumulo for the Summer 2027 internship program, you will 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. This role involves distributed operating system concepts such as scheduling, memory hierarchy, protection, and concurrency. You will learn to use agents to help write code while developing your engineering judgment to ensure every design decision is correct, because nothing ships that isn't right.
