Job Summary

Job Description

As a Storage Infrastructure Engineer, you will design, build, operate, scale, maintain, and evolve Workato's enterprise-grade storage infrastructure. This role involves close collaboration with engineering and infrastructure teams, leading the global storage strategy for various use cases and high-performance, latency-critical requirements. You'll work closely with the engineering leadership team and have a direct impact on modernizing the Workato architecture. The role requires expertise in distributed storage systems, practical experience with modern infrastructure building tools (IaC), knowledge of running distributed storage systems in the cloud (AWS preferred) and container orchestration systems (kubernetes is mandatory). The responsibilities include automating storage maintenance, supporting zero-downtime database upgrades, scaling compute, implementing observability and monitoring, re-designing storage architecture, and ensuring cost control and expertise in distributed storage. It is a hands-on role, so a significant contribution to storage infrastructure as code, monitoring, continuous analysis of slow requests and trends, insights, reliability and upgrades is expected.
Must have:
  • 5+ years of experience with scalable in-memory data stores.
  • Experience with clustered Redis environments (ElastiCache, Valkey, etc.).
  • Knowledge of Valkey/Redis ecosystem including Redis modules.
  • Experience with Redis memory optimization and eviction policies.
  • Experience with zero-downtime upgrades and migrations of Redis.
  • Experience with vendor-specific Redis implementations.
  • Understanding of compliance, security, and access controls for Redis.
  • Experience increasing reliability and availability for Redis deployments.
  • Experience building observability, monitoring, and alerting for Redis.
  • Experience managing Redis infrastructure in the cloud (Kubernetes, AWS).
  • Experience deploying stateful Redis instances into Kubernetes.
  • Experience with AWS cloud computing (EC2, ElastiCache, EKS, etc.).
  • Basic knowledge of programming languages like Python, Go.
  • Experience implementing performance testing methodologies for Redis.
  • Ability to develop clear Redis best practice documentation.
  • Experience building cross-regional Disaster Recovery Redis solutions.

Responsibilities

As a Storage Infrastructure Engineer you will be responsible for designing, building, operating, scaling, maintaining and evolving Workato enterprise-grade storage infrastructure. You will work closely with all engineering & infrastructure teams in Workato leading our global storage story for different use cases, scenarios, enterprise-grade real time latency-critical requirements and global scale. You will work closely with the engineering leadership team and will have a direct long-term strategic impact on modernization and evolution of the Workato architecture. You are the expert in different distributed storage systems, know how to use them effectively and understand internals and deep principles behind. At the same time it is a hands-on role so there is expectation of the significant contribution to storage infrastructure as code, monitoring, continuous analysis of slow requests and trends, insights, reliability and upgrades. We expect from all Workato engineering roles: deep knowledge & understanding of computer systems, desire & love to go to the lowest level of the details, troubleshooting using modern techniques and tools. It is required to have practical experience with modern infrastructure building tools and principles such as IaC, knowledge and experience of running distributed storage systems in cloud (AWS preferred) and container orchestration systems (kubernetes is mandatory) in highly reliable, highly scalable manner. One expectation is great understanding of reliability and availability in terms of nines for different use cases, knowledge of architecture & design patterns and procedures for different numbers of nines. Knowledge and experience of storage security, auditability and compliance requirements are highly desired. 

Workato storage layer is the most mission-critical highly loaded distributed infrastructure. It is based on industry leading mature technologies such as PostgreSQL, Redis, Clickhouse, MySQL/MariaDB deployed in self-hosted or vendor managed (e.g. AWS Aurora) version.

We are currently working on scaling, upgrading, automating, securing, modernizing the storage layer to meet new requirements of rapidly growing business such as:

  • Automate storage maintenance to fully eliminate manual work

  • Support zero-downtime DB upgrades

  • Support massive compute scale: thousands of network clients (up to hundred applications)

  • Bring-in proper observability & monitoring 

  • Scale storage up to 5x-10x in short term

  • Re-design storage architecture for longer term scalability up to 100x times

  • Keep cost under control in predictable manner

  • Take ownership of distributed storage story and be center of distributed storage expertise

Requirements

Qualifications / Experience / Technical Skills

  • 5+ years of trackable work experience with deploying and supporting highly scalable distributed enterprise-grade in-memory data stores.
