Role
Who you are
- This role is built for early-career engineers who are curious, methodical, and eager to be mentored, with a clear path toward deeper technical specialization over time. No prior professional security experience is required
- Foundational Technical Knowledge: Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, cybersecurity, or equivalent practical experience, with a working understanding of operating systems (especially Linux), TCP/IP networking, and core security concepts such as authentication, encryption, and least privilege
- Some Hands-On Exposure: Coursework, internships, labs, CTFs, personal projects, or open source contributions where you have worked at a command line, read and modified code, and touched a public cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Scripting Ability: Comfort reading and writing basic Python or a similar language, and the appetite to grow into production-quality automation
- Analytical Problem Solving & Communication: Methodical approach to troubleshooting technical problems, combined with the ability to ask inquisitive questions, absorb feedback, and document technical processes clearly for cross-functional partners
- Location: We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara, CA office in compliance with Everpure's policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave
What the job involves
- As an Associate Security Engineer at Everpure, you will join the Global Information Security Office (GISO) and begin your security career alongside the engineers and architects who protect our global cloud, infrastructure, and platform environments. You will learn by doing: supporting real security work, automating the manual parts of it, and building the hands-on foundation that security engineering depends on
- Support Day-to-Day Security Engineering: Assist with configuration, tuning, and routine health checks of security tooling across cloud and endpoint environments, working from documented runbooks and standards with guidance from senior engineers
- Build Automation and Tooling: Write and maintain scripts (Python preferred) and small integrations that remove manual effort, including pulling data from APIs, generating recurring reports, cleaning up findings, and connecting tools to each other
- Learn Detection and Telemetry: Work with log and telemetry platforms such as Splunk to run queries, validate data sources, and help investigate and document findings alongside Security Operations
- Contribute to Reviews and Documentation: Participate in design and configuration reviews to see how real security trade-offs get made, capture the decisions that come out of them, and keep standards, diagrams, and runbooks accurate as systems change
Application process
- There is no application deadline and we accept applications on an ongoing basis until the job is filled
Our take
Named one of the top 50 Hottest Edge Hardware, Software, and Services Companies of 2022, Pure Storage is a data storage company that helps tech and software businesses leverage the continuous innovations of AI and machine learning through its storage solutions. From Roblox to NASA, many of Pure Storage’s customers are leaders in their fields.
After seeing rapid revenue growth in the early 2010s despite overall losses, Pure Storage’s 2015 IPO benefitted the company over the next half-decade, spreading losses with public trade. The risk especially paid off when many companies migrated to cloud services in the 2020s.
As data centers flew into the crosshairs of sustainable energy efforts, Pure Storage has remained on the right side of publicity through its Evergreen // One portfolio, a flexible consumption-based storage model for providers. In January 2023, Pure Storage reported continued subscription growth for this model and should continue on track as its hefty and influential client list evolves to meet sustainability goals.
