About The Position

Production Engineering (PE) partners with Pure Storage Engineering teams to deliver productivity tools and services that streamline the development cycle of FlashBlade and FlashArray products. We eliminate bottlenecks in testing and delivery, ensuring high-quality software reaches customers faster. Our engineers combine strong communication, software, and systems skills with a passion for building reliable, scalable services and automation.

Requirements

5+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong background in designing scalable architectures and building reliable systems end-to-end.
Deep expertise with CI/CD platforms and modern automation practices for large-scale systems.
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.

Nice To Haves

Experience with build systems (e.g., Bazel, CMake), cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), or contributions to open-source CI/CD and developer productivity projects.

Responsibilities

Design and build developer platforms and automation services that improve reliability, scalability, and velocity of software delivery.
Architect and implement high-availability solutions (disaster recovery, failover, scaling strategies)
Develop services, frameworks, and automation tooling in Python, Go, or Rust to improve developer productivity and system reliability.
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.
Participate in on-call rotation, incident postmortems, planning, and continuous improvement initiatives, bringing a software engineer’s perspective to reliability and scalability challenges.
