Senior Python Developer – Storage Systems & Hardware Integration
Location: Cork (Onsite)
Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) builds the products that power infrastructure, solutions, and data management our customers need most. Our teams design and develop the hardware and software that connect infrastructure, accelerate computational workloads, integrate across the stack, protect data continuity, and deliver the platforms, applications, and diagnostics our customers rely on every day at enterprise scale.
Some product builders follow the rules. Ours rewrite them.
Within ISG, innovation isn't just about creating new technology- it's about challenging assumptions and reimagining how work gets done. Engineers define intent, author precise specifications, and orchestrate AI agents that execute at speed and scale. AI is embedded throughout our development process, helping us move faster, learn quicker, and deliver greater impact. Yet the most important contribution remains uniquely human: deciding what to build, designing how it should work, and applying the judgment needed to earn our customers' trust. When your products power critical infrastructure around the world, that responsibility matters.
We move quickly toward the work that matters most. We reward experimentation, encourage bold thinking, and remove unnecessary barriers so great ideas can become reality faster. Our teams embrace a customer-first, first-to-market mindset, transforming rapid feedback into better products and better outcomes. We aren't looking for people who are content with the status quo- we look for builders who question it, improve it, and occasionally rewrite it.
If you're energized by solving complex systems challenges, excited to work alongside AI to amplify your impact, and motivated by the opportunity to shape what's next instead of simply maintaining what's been done before, you'll find your place here.
Join us and help build the future of enterprise technology.
What you’ll achieve
As a Senior Python Developer, you will be responsible for building and managing software solutions for next-generation storage systems while working directly with cutting-edge hardware in a lab environment. You will collaborate with global engineering teams to develop, test, and optimize system components using technologies such as Python, NVMe-oF, and modern microservices architectures.
You will:
Software Development (80%)
-
Build and maintain Python microservices using FastAPI, Pydantic, and async/await patterns
-
Develop DataPath Manager (DPM) for NVMe-oF configuration and backend management (Python)
-
Create iDRAC/BMC integration services for Dell server management
-
Troubleshoot software layer issues (API misbehaviors, race conditions, bugs)
-
Maintain the update flows for software and firmware
Hardware Operations (20%)
-
Install and rack Trumpet DAE (Drive Array Enclosure) chassis with the support from Lab Technicians
-
Configure NVMe SSDs, PCIe extenders, and networking (e.g. lossless Ethernet, RoCEv2)
-
Manage product servers via iDRAC and Redfish
-
Troubleshoot physical layer issues (cabling, power, incopabilities between SW and HW)
-
Perform hardware replacements and FRU swaps (also possibly owning a FRU design
