Trusted by over 5 million users worldwide, we empower individuals and businesses to protect, access, and manage their data with high-performance tools built for speed, reliability, and security.

About the Job

As a Full-Stack Systems Developer, you will build the next generation of IDrive BMR (Bare Metal Restore), an on-premise and cloud Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery platform comprising of a Debian 12-based server utilizing ZFS for disk image backups, snapshots, and replication, a Windows client equipped with a CBT driver for image-level backups, and a management layer featuring APIs and UI tools for orchestration, scheduling, and monitoring. You will work with a focused engineering team to deliver high-performance, resilient system software and use AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Cursor to accelerate development.

What you will be doing:

Core system development

  • Design and implement core components for the Debian-based server and Windows client.
  • Develop a Windows Change Block Tracking (CBT) driver and client agent using VSS and low-level APIs for disk-image and incremental backups.
  • Implement a ZFS-integrated server daemon to manage snapshots, datasets, replication, and backup streams.
  • Build secure, high-throughput client-server communication using gRPC or similar frameworks.

Backend & service architecture

  • Design and develop supporting services, APIs, and utilities for orchestration, monitoring, and recovery.
  • Work with Go or Rust for backend and service development
  • Integrate network programming, gRPC/Protobuf, and secure transfer protocols (TLS) for data protection and encryption.
  • Collaborate with peers on architecture reviews, performance tuning, and testing automation.

AI-assisted engineering

  • Use AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Cursor) to enhance productivity and accelerate prototyping.
  • Maintain high standards of code quality, security, and documentation while leveraging AI tools to enhance efficiency and productivity.
  • Share best practices for integrating AI into development workflows in a responsible manner.

What we expect from you:

  • Proficiency in C/C++, particularly for Windows system-level development and driver programming (WDK).
  • Deep understanding of disk and file system I/O, VSS, and block-level data handling.
  • Hands-on experience in Linux system programming (Debian or Ubuntu preferred).
  • Solid grasp of ZFS internals datasets, snapshots, replication, deduplication.
  • Experience in Go or Rust for backend/service development.
  • Proficiency in network programming, gRPC/Protobuf, and secure communication (TLS).

Good to have

  • Familiarity with backup, recovery, or virtualization technologies.
  • Experience with distributed or high-throughput storage systems.
  • Exposure to PostgreSQL or SQLite for metadata or configuration management.
  • Basic frontend experience with React or TypeScript.
  • Contributions to open-source system software or drivers.

AI & productivity culture

At IDrive, we view AI-assisted software engineering as a force multiplier — not a replacement for expertise. We encourage you to:

  • Use AI tools to prototype, refactor, and accelerate complex development tasks.
  • Apply critical thinking to validate, benchmark, and optimize AI-generated code.
  • Continuously improve workflows by integrating secure, responsible AI-assisted practices.
