  use of the storage management APIs

- Investigate the design and capabilities of each component to be
  managed

- Determine feasibility, and collaborate to design the API

- Develop the C and Python APIs needed to allow management of each
  component in the Linux storage stack

- Test the interfaces; debug, document, and deliver for use by
  higher-level system management tools

                        --------------------
Required skills:

- Professional development experience with C
- Solid scripting skills; experience with Python is an advantage
- Experience developing Inter-Process Communication (IPC) systems;
  familiarity with D-Bus message bus is a plus
- Experience with storage concepts like device drivers, RAID, device
  mapper, multipath, (i)SCSI, or SATA is a plus
- Understanding of how to develop management code at the hardware or
  software interface is a plus
- Committed to open source software development and fostering
  community engagement
- Experience working with open source projects is a plus
