- Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Python, Rust), with a track record of building automation, developer tooling, or scalable services
- Strong Linux/Unix fundamentals, including advanced troubleshooting, debugging, and performance tuning
- Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Kubernetes preferred; Docker Swarm, Nomad, or similar are also valuable)
- Proven background in observability, with experience designing and integrating monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting into CI/CD pipelines and production systems
- Bonus: Experience with build systems (e.g., Bazel, CMake), cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), or contributions to open-source CI/CD and developer productivity projects

- Extend and optimize CI frameworks (e.g., Jenkins or equivalent) for complex, multi-machine, distributed build/test environments
- Apply strong Linux/Unix fundamentals to design resilient systems, debug issues across layers, and tune performance
- Embed security into CI/CD systems by design, including access control, patch automation, and system hardening
- Drive capacity planning and system optimization, ensuring efficient utilization of infrastructure and resources
- Perform risk analysis and mitigation through proactive vulnerability assessments and automation of remediation processes
- Build observability and debugging tools to surface metrics, logs, and traces that accelerate troubleshooting and root cause analysis
- Standardize and advance monitoring, logging, and incident management practices across engineering teams
- Collaborate closely with developers to integrate CI/CD systems into the full development lifecycle, ensuring fast, reliable, and secure code delivery

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.
