Senior Software Engineer - Production Engineer

THE ROLE

Partner with core Engineering teams to architect, scale, and deliver the critical developer platforms and automation services powering the FlashBlade and FlashArray product lifecycles. By eliminating software testing and delivery bottlenecks, you will directly ensure high-quality storage solutions reach global customers faster. This highly collaborative role combines deep systems expertise with a software engineering mindset to drive operational velocity, champion reliability, and elevate engineering capabilities across our entire product ecosystem.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design and Build Developer Platforms: Architect high-availability platforms and automated services using Python, Go, or Rust to maximize the velocity, scaling strategies, and reliability of software delivery across engineering teams.
• Optimize Core CI/CD Infrastructure: Extend and tune complex, distributed multi-machine build and test frameworks (such as Jenkins or equivalent) to eliminate environment bottlenecks and accelerate development cycles.
• Advance Observability and Resilience: Standardize monitoring, logging, and incident management practices by building custom tools that surface metrics, logs, and traces to accelerate troubleshooting and root-cause resolution.
• Secure the Software Pipeline: Embed access controls, patch automation, and proactive vulnerability assessments directly into CI/CD systems to ensure end-to-end infrastructure security by design.

WHAT YOU BRING

• System Automation & Architecture: Proven capability in designing scalable backend architectures and building robust developer tooling, frameworks, or services using modern languages like Python, Go, or Rust.
• Systems Mastery & Containerization: Robust Linux/Unix fundamentals combined with hands-on experience implementing containerization and orchestration infrastructure (such as Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or Nomad) to debug complex distributed environments.
• Pipeline Engineering & Observability: Extensive experience managing large-scale CI/CD platforms coupled with a background in integrating proactive monitoring, logging, and alerting systems into engineering pipelines.
• Collaborative Problem Solving: Strong analytical skills and an ownership-driven mindset, with the clear communication ability needed to drive tool adoption, lead incident postmortems, and influence best practices across cross-functional teams.

We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara office in compliance with Pure's policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
