The Middleware team is a bridge between the internal users and their important data stored in the infrastructure systems or public cloud service. In this team, we use a lot of modern techniques, like service mesh/governance, DTS for various types of storage, and different strong consistency models, to help users run the same copy of code in different service providers. At the same time, we build probing services to evaluate service quality between different providers and help users to reduce their costs.

1. Contribute to the data transfer service for different types of storage products and make it scalable, stable with high performance.
2. Work together with the service mesh team to build a fully functional/high-performance/robust storage mesh layer.
3. Build a service to manage the storage metadata, and their credentials as well, running on different public cloud platforms.
4. Build an SLA service to make the service quality on different public cloud platforms accurate, reliable, visualized, and easy to diagnose issues for users.
5. Work with the other teams in the company to join different services together to promote the impacts our products bring to the world.
