Datto, the world’s leading provider of IT solutions delivered through managed service providers, is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our fast paced growing team.

A Look Inside the Job

As a member of Datto’s BCDR Engineering Productivity team, you will develop, enhance, and maintain tools which are integral to the software development and testing of multiple Datto groups (BCDR Agents/Device/Azure, SaaS, Portals, et cetera). The current team consists of 4 software engineers who spend ~75% of their collective time doing active software development and ~25% on IT/DevOps tasks. The tasks include opening merge requests to add new features and fix bugs, managing of internal hardware (60+ server nodes), upkeeping of 20+ hypervisors instances/configurations, and patching of ~40 golden VM images.

Datto’s BCDR devices are Linux powered backup appliances that perform block-level snapshots of physical, virtual, and public cloud based servers. Backup data is stored as raw disk images in a local ZFS-based disk array.

In the event of data loss, customers can recover data in a variety of ways including: restoring files or directories, mounting volumes as iSCSI targets or Samba shares, launching a backup as a local or remotely hosted virtual machine, or deploying a backup to physical hardware.
