Engineering Manager - Flash Array

THE ROLE

Drive the mission-critical quality strategy for the industry’s most innovative, high-performance storage array platform. In this pivotal engineering leadership role, you will scale systems testing, feature interoperability, and test automation to ensure zero-downtime resilience for global enterprise applications. Partnering directly with cross-functional development, support, and escalation engineering teams, you will champion a customer-first quality model across physical hardware and cloud-native environments (Cloud Block Store, CloudSnap). This position elevates product reliability and shapes how cutting-edge software resilience is delivered at scale.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Define & Execute Quality Strategy: Ownership of end-to-end system test designs, focusing on feature interoperability at scale to guarantee zero-downtime performance across enterprise and cloud environments.

• Build High-Impact Automation & Tooling: Design and deploy automated test workflows and triage tooling to accelerate defect detection, drastically reducing execution friction across thousands of automated test suites.

• Real-World Customer Simulation: Replicate complex customer deployment architectures and enterprise application workflows to validate real-world resilience, fault tolerance, and resilience against failure domains.

• Root-Cause Resolution & Continuous Improvement: Partner directly with escalation and support teams to reproduce, analyze, and resolve complex defects, utilizing customer feedback loops to eliminate quality gaps.

• Agile Engineering Leadership: Mentor and guide engineering teams in short-cycle Agile/Scrum practices, maintaining high release velocity while upholding rigorous software delivery standards.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Technical & People Leadership: Demonstrated capability leading engineering teams through the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) while maintaining active technical engagement in systems-level architecture.

• Systems Software Mastery: Deep technical foundation in systems software development (such as C, C++, Golang or Java) with a focus on fault-tolerant architecture and distributed systems.

• End-to-End Quality Expertise: Expert understanding of modern software quality methodologies, system test design, automated workflow creation, and root-cause defect analysis.

• Agile Delivery & Customer Focus: Track record of fostering responsive, short-cycle Agile (Scrum) environments that transform customer feedback directly into proactive quality enhancements.

• Analytical Problem-Solving & Communication: Strong analytical ability to isolate complex edge-case defects paired with clear cross-functional collaboration skills.

• Workplace Presence: We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the {{OFFICE_LOCATION}} office in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
