- This build and test environment is a core part of our engineering processes, providing continuous feedback to our engineering teams and allowing us to deliver new product releases regularly throughout each year
- We also build and operate managed components of ANQ, delivering a highly available service to customers and keeping the service up to date with our latest features
- We work across engineering, product and customer success teams to identify opportunities to improve our processes and ensure that our existing systems are available and working as expected

- We help manage the operating expense of running systems across multiple clouds
- We help drive down failures by providing frequent feedback to engineers on their changes with high quality test analytics
- You will collaborate with a team that identifies opportunities, plans new features, and implements solutions. You will work with team members to build a backlog and deliver solutions iteratively.You will troubleshoot build and test failures, diagnosing problems that vary from build time compilation failures to integration test failures involving both virtual machine instances and Qumulo qualified hardware. You will implement monitoring to ensure that systems are working as expected and can raise alerts when problems are detected
Our take
Modern businesses process, generate and store vast amounts of data, and this is only accelerating as companies adopt hybrid and remote work and find new ways to take advantage of the information they are accumulating. However, this data has to be stored somewhere, and as businesses scale they find they run out of room. Qumulo exists to offer an alternative to costly in-house solutions with a exabyte-scale data storage solution.
Qumulo offers a variety of cloud, hybrid and on-premises storage options, each taking advantage of the latest advances in storage technology, allowing a company to reliably scale its data requirements without costly infrastructure upgrades. Its platform also embeds a range of tools for creating workflows and applications with the file data for easy management and migration to cloud servers. This flexibility has seen Qumulo's product used by hundreds of companies from a range of business sectors including Industrial Brothers, UC San Diego SuperComputer Center and Progenity.
Qumulo has grown rapidly since its founding, experiencing 100% year on year growth through 2020 and attracting a large infusion of funding in a Series E round led by Blackrock. It has been investing heavily in its platform and technology, specifically taking advantage of increasing capabilities and decreasing costs in flash storage. As the data requirements of business only increase, Qumulo seems well positioned to continue its success streak.

Company values
- We are data-driven and experimental: Data isn’t just what we do — it’s at the core of every decision we make. Data allows us to adapt and informs our relentless product innovation. We build something, we measure its impact, then iterate to make it even better. We take educated risks to test, learn, and innovate
- Customers are our magnetic field: Qumulo started with a vision of how to build a modern file data management and storage product our customers would love. We’re customer obsessed and strive to offer the best service and support. Staying close to our customers is how we succeed
- We share by default: Transparency makes us stronger. It gives us insight into our customers, coworkers, and work so we can continuously deliver more value. We play well with others, share our differing points of view, and stand up for new ideas
- We do the hard, right thing: We are doers, not just thinkers. Creators, not just critics. We roll up our sleeves, solve problems, and do what’s needed to get the job done. We own it, even if it’s hard or not in our job description
- We build a team of people we're proud to know: We work smart and we work hard but we also have a lot of fun in the process. We work in teams but we celebrate individual achievements. We hire super-talented people who share our bold ambitions, integrity, and passion
