Staff Engineer, Storage Metadata and Context

Emeryville, CA Hybrid Full-time

Location: Emeryville

Every great creative project needs a spark—and we’re the team that collaborates to support and organize the digital media behind the magic. As our data scales, we want to close a growing context gap between our technical storage hierarchies and the natural language of our creative teams.

As a Staff Engineer at the intersection of Data Platforms and AI, you will architect the software layers that enable our production-facing storage to become context-aware. Your mission is to design the APIs, Metadata services, and MCP implementations that allow AI agents to navigate and reason across Petabytes of high-value media assets. You will help to bridge the gap between traditional HPC protocols and a modern Agentic ecosystem.
