Company mission
To redefine the storage experience and empower innovators by simplifying how people consume and interact with data.
Role
Who you are
- Exceptional proficiency in C/C++ (C++11 and beyond), with a proven track record of designing, implementing, and debugging large-scale, high-performance systems software
- Deep expertise in *Linux or NIX-based systems programming, including a strong understanding of kernel-level concepts and hands-on experience in driver development
- Demonstrable experience with the full lifecycle of hardware-software integration, including system bring-up, platform requirements definition, and debugging low-level interfaces (e.g., BMC, BIOS, PCI-e, I2C/SMBUS)
- Strong technical leadership skills to independently determine methods on new, complex assignments, make impactful technical recommendations, and informally lead development initiatives
- Practical experience with storage or L2/L3 networking protocols and components, enabling you to deliver features that meet demanding mission-critical application requirements
What the job involves
- Join the Systems Software team to architect and deliver the core software that powers the industry's most innovative, high-performance, and highly available storage platforms. You will own the full development lifecycle for mission-critical system components, from initial conception to customer deployment
- This is a chance to apply deep systems expertise to solve complex hardware-software integration challenges, ensuring our customers experience zero-downtime and continuous innovation. You will collaborate closely with hardware engineering and cross-functional software teams to define the future of enterprise data storage
- Drive the end-to-end design, development, and debugging of high-performance, mission-critical system software in C/C++ for our upcoming storage platforms
- Own the development and integration of critical control plane features—like configuration, event handling, and robust failover—that directly guarantee the platform's high availability and simplicity of management
- Collaborate across engineering teams and with external vendors to define hardware-software interfaces and implement low-level components for system bring-up, driver development, and L2/L3 networking functionality
- Architect and implement software solutions for complex tasks, such as firmware management and updating, ensuring the process minimizes availability impact for thousands of global customers
- Act as a technical mentor for the team, leading complex assignments, setting high standards for code quality and maintainability, and providing technical guidance on cross-functional initiatives
- We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara, CA office in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave
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.
