Senior Storage Engineer

Runware is the AI inference platform that builds and runs its own infrastructure, end to end. Our Sonic Inference Engine has served more than 20 billion requests for over 1 million developers and 500 million end users, with 400,000+ models behind a single integration, at up to 10x lower cost per token than traditional providers. We are now building the AI Factory that runs it. The Sonic Inference Pod packs 1 MW of custom-designed compute into a 20-foot container with closed-loop, water-free cooling, sited wherever power exists. Pods are live in the US and Europe, and we are scaling to dozens of pods and tens of thousands of GPUs, all operated as one distributed fabric that reroutes traffic the moment a pod goes offline (announcement). Every one of those 400,000 models has to be on the right GPU, in the right pod, in seconds. Storage is what makes that possible. That is the job. The role As Senior Storage Engineer, you will own the storage architecture of Runware 's AI supercomputer: how model weights, caches and customer data move from object storage on two continents to the NVMe and GPU memory of the node that needs them. You will design the data path, build the first version with your own hands, and set the standard for how storage is run across every pod. This is a hands-on senior individual-contributor role. You will specify the systems, benchmark them on real hardware, find the reason a 70 GB checkpoint took four minutes to load instead of twenty seconds, and then fix it
