  • Demonstrated ability to perform crash dump analysis and live kernel debugging using WinDbg
  • Working knowledge of NTFS on-disk structures: MFT record layout, attribute types, USN journal, and the NTFS log file for crash recovery
  • Familiarity with ReFS (Resilient File System): B+ tree metadata structure, integrity streams, block cloning, and the differences in crash recovery model versus NTFS
  • Experience debugging file system corruption scenarios: cross-linked clusters, orphaned MFT records, directory entry inconsistencies, and reparse point cycles

  • Hands-on experience with Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC): quorum models (Node Majority, Disk Witness, Cloud Witness), cluster network configuration, and the cluster API
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Own end-to-end resolution of critical ICMs escalated from top enterprise customers — analyze memory dumps, ETW traces, Storage Spaces logs, and cluster event logs to root-cause failures in S2D, WSFC, CSV, NTFS, and ReFS that cannot be resolved by field support
  • Investigate and fix security vulnerabilities in the Windows storage stack: privilege escalation through NTFS reparse points and junctions, information disclosure via uninitialized kernel pool in file system drivers, and denial-of-service through crafted on-disk structures in ReFS or NTFS
  • Design and implement reliability and correctness fixes in kernel-mode storage miniport drivers (StorPort, NVMe, iSCSI, SMB Direct/RDMA) and file system filter drivers — owning the full fix lifecycle from root cause through regression test to servicing release
  • Work directly with Storage Spaces Direct (S2D): diagnose and fix rebuild, rebalance, and fault-domain logic errors
  • investigate cache tier promotion/demotion bugs
  • resolve pool fragmentation and storage bus layer (SBL) issues in hyper-converged deployments
  • Maintain and harden Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) and Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV): resolve quorum edge cases, CSV ownership transfer failures, cluster validation regressions, and inter-node storage arbitration deadlocks
  • Contribute to the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) and Windows Backup infrastructure: fix provider/requester interaction bugs, VSS writer timeouts in large-scale environments, and shadow copy metadata consistency failures
  • Develop diagnostic tooling and automated regression suites for the storage stack — including kernel debugger extensions (!sdt, !storport analysis), ETW provider instrumentation, and Storage Spaces health model validation
  • Collaborate with MSRC for coordinated disclosure and patch delivery on storage-related CVEs
