Build Storage Architected for AI™
Quobyte is a software-defined parallel file system that AI and HPC infrastructure runs on, at exabyte scale. The largest infrastructure buildout in a generation is happening right now, and a small team is building the storage layer underneath it. Come build it with us.
Who We Are
Quobyte was started by two ex-Googlers, Björn and Felix, who watched the hyperscaler approach to storage up close: resilient software on commodity hardware, run by small teams at enormous scale. Then they spent years building a storage system from the ground up on those same principles, while the rest of the industry kept shipping appliances and stretching NFS to cover workloads it was never designed to carry. Both put the burden of reliability on the hardware. Quobyte puts it in software, which is the only place it holds at this scale.
The result is software that lets a handful of operators run exabyte scale infrastructure. The company is built the same way: small, flat, and everyone here owns something that matters.
What we value
Simplicity is the hard part
We value people who cut through complexity and leave things clearer than they found them.
Plan for the real world
We value people who think ahead, spot risks early, and make decisions that hold up when conditions are less than perfect.
Think big, own the outcome
We take on problems at massive scale, move quickly, and follow through from start to finish.
First principles over industry habit
We question assumptions and choose the right approach, not simply the familiar one.
Life at Quobyte
Life at Quobyte is a mix of deep technical work, real ownership, and genuine team spirit. We’re a group of curious, driven people solving hard infrastructure problems together — with plenty of moments to connect, laugh, and celebrate along the way.
Open Roles
We hire across distributed systems engineering, sales, and marketing, in Germany and the US. We only post roles we’re actively trying to fill, and the interview process is short by design. You’ll converse with the people you’d actually work with, including the founders.
