Systems Engineer

Join Telavox as a Systems Engineer for Storage

Are you a hands-on systems engineer who thrives in operational depth and wants to own the storage that the rest of engineering runs on? At Telavox, we run our own: our own Ceph clusters, on-prem Kubernetes, and a fleet of physical servers across six countries. We're providers of infrastructure, not consumers of cloud - a deliberate choice, and what our product and economics demand. Storage is where we're investing next.

Ceph specifically is not a requirement. If you've run distributed or enterprise storage in production - Ceph, ZFS, Gluster, Lustre, MinIO, a vendor array - the instincts are what we're after, and we'll teach you ours.

About the job

This is a hands-on operations role. You'd own how our storage runs day-to-day - health, capacity, upgrades, expansion, and the operational foundations underneath it. You'll have real input into architecture, and you'll set the long-term direction with our storage lead rather than on your own. The emphasis here is deliberately operational - if making storage actually work, and being trusted to do it unsupervised, is the part you want, there's a lot of room in this role.

Ceph (block and S3) is our main estate - real production storage, growing across regions, with Sweden the largest footprint.

Your day-to-day would be mostly spent on things like:

Keeping the clusters healthy - issues, monitoring, capacity planning, upgrades, and expansion across regions

Getting the foundations right: stability, security, predictable scaling.

Making the work repeatable - runbooks, upgrade procedures that hold across regions, automation for what's manual today

You won't work in isolation from the rest of the platform: on-prem Kubernetes runs most of our workloads and has clear impact on the storage domain, and our Ansible-driven server and OS fleet spans six countries

How we work together:

You’ll join our Infrastructure Engineering team of around 15 people, working from our Malmö HQ, Gjut
