Unstructured data and video storage platform for enterprise and government
Quantum operates a storage appliance and software company (NAS, object, block, tape) serving mid-market and federal organizations. The tech stack reveals a hybrid approach: custom storage architectures (Ceph, MinIO, Scality) layered on AWS and bare-metal infrastructure, with heavy reliance on Salesforce and Dynamics 365 for operations. Current hiring velocity is accelerating toward senior engineers (14 of 24 open roles), with active work on S3 API expansion, erasure coding, and observability — suggesting a push toward cloud-native interoperability and operational transparency.
Quantum provides storage infrastructure and management software for unstructured data and video, serving enterprises, media, and federal agencies. The product spans multiple modalities: network-attached storage, object storage (S3-compatible), block storage, and tape archival, supported by backup appliances and software. The company operates at scale across North America (US, Canada, Malaysia hiring footprint) and faces operational challenges including SOX compliance, federal customer acquisition, and performance management in large deployments.
Quantum runs Ceph, MinIO, and Scality for storage; AWS and bare-metal Linux for compute; Salesforce and Dynamics 365 for CRM; Atlassian Cloud (Jira, Confluence) for development; VMware and Proxmox for virtualization; JAMF for device management.
Active projects include S3 API expansion, durability and erasure-coding improvements, telemetry and observability initiatives, UI modernization across the platform, next-generation test frameworks, and AI/ML integration.
