A place where everyone in the world can easily access their books/music/photos/video/any data from anywhere at any time via any means (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, PCs, smart devices, etc.). Did you ever desire a universally accessible storage system to record all the knowledge known to mankind, to keep all the books/music/videos ever created, or to store all the data collected from all the scientists in the world for them to collaborate with?

The platform is going to support exponential growth in the coming years and presents many interesting technical problems. Our mantra is to innovate, grow, and learn. To be successful in these areas, you should have a growth mindset and be curious. You will be solving challenges related to scale and reliability for a distributed system. You will have an opportunity to make high-impact changes on a daily basis as you build a hyperscale storage system that may indirectly or directly be used daily by your friends and family.
