About the Job

Requirements

10+ years in software quality assurance, system testing, performance engineering, or reliability engineering, including significant system-level or longevity testing of complex distributed or storage systems.
Strong understanding of storage concepts, including block, file, snapshots, replication, high availability, failover, and non-disruptive upgrades, and their behavior under sustained load and fault conditions.
Ability to design and execute long-running scenarios that expose race conditions, memory leaks, scaling issues, and resiliency gaps.
Strong debugging skills across hosts, networks, storage systems, logs, and metrics.
Hands-on experience with Linux and at least one of VMware, Windows, or Kubernetes.
Solid experience with test automation using Python and shell, continuous integration pipelines, and result dashboards.
Ability to lead cross-functional collaboration with Development, System Test, Release, and Support teams.
Ability to present complex findings and risk assessments clearly to senior engineers and leaders.
Knowledge of directory services and identity systems, including Active Directory, LDAP, Kerberos, and identity mapping, including testing per-tenant authentication domains.
Linux systems skills including shell, networking with VLANs, sub-interfaces, routing, ip, and tc, service debugging, and log and core analysis at scale.

Responsibilities

Define System Testing strategy and test plans for major features and releases, focusing on stability, longevity, and end-to-end behavior.
Build customer-like scenarios combining mixed block, file, and object workloads; long-running input/output; failovers; non-disruptive upgrades; hardware events; replication; snapshots; quotas; and background operations, using automation and targeted torture testing.
Own System Testing environments, including arrays, initiators, operating systems, and accessories; keep them healthy, representative, and well instrumented.
Monitor test runs, triage failures, distinguish infrastructure issues from product bugs, and file high-quality defects with workload, scale, logs, and impact details while driving issues to closure with Development, Product Management, and Release teams.
Define System Testing entry and exit criteria, sign-off requirements, and soak expectations for release candidates.
Summarize findings, risks, and recommendations and provide data-driven input on go/no-go release decisions.
Coach mid-level and junior quality engineering engineers on test design, debugging, triage, and long-running validation practices.
Refine System Testing processes, playbooks, and governance with engineering managers and technical leaders.
Partner with automation teams to extend System Testing workflows, including workload drivers, torture suites, health checks, and dashboards.
Improve System Testing observability through metrics, alerting, and automated log and triage helpers.

Desired Qualifications

Background in enterprise storage.
Experience with performance engineering, capacity or longevity modeling, or customer-data-driven test design.
Exposure to artificial-intelligence-assisted test design or triage and interest in using new tools to improve coverage and efficiency.
Experience with different hypervisors, backup applications, databases, video-streaming workloads, or healthcare applications and workloads.
Prior multi-tenancy, role-based access control, or virtual-array isolation work in storage or cloud.
Experience validating asynchronous replication, active/active disaster recovery, synchronous replication, ActiveCluster or metro-cluster configurations, split-brain conditions, and resynchronization.
Quality-of-service and quota testing background.

Everpure (NYSE: P) has evolved from storage pioneer to data platform, closing fiscal 2026 with $3.7 billion in revenue, its first billion-dollar quarter, and accelerating growth into FY27. Our strategic agenda spans the companies defining the next era of technology - hyperscalers, AI labs, the AI hardware supply chain, data platform providers, and the broader AI ecosystem.

This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

THE ROLE

We are hiring a senior quality engineer to own System Testing for Pure’s FlashArray products. You will validate stability, resiliency, and performance under sustained, production‑like workloads, far beyond basic functional testing.

You will design and run multi‑week, customer‑like scenarios that combine workloads, failovers, upgrades, and fault injections, and use the insights to influence architecture, design, and release decisions.

This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role at the intersection of architecture, systems, and large‑scale testing—acting as a key quality gate before releases reach Pure’s customers.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own System Testing strategy for releasesDefine System Testing strategy and test plans for major features and releases, focusing on stability, longevity, and end‑to‑end behavior, not just feature correctness.
Design realistic, high‑value scenariosBuild scenarios that mirror Pure customer environments: mixed workloads (block, file, object), long‑running IO, failovers, NDUs, hardware events, and background operations (replication, snapshots, quotas, etc.), combining automation with targeted “tortures”.
Drive execution and triage on System Testing bedsOwn System Testing environments (arrays, initiators, OSes, accessories); keep them healthy, representative, and well‑instrumented. Monitor runs, triage failures quickly, separate infra issues from product bugs, and file high‑quality defects with clear workload, scale, logs, and impact—driving them to closure with Dev, PM, and Release teams.
Be a key voice in release readinessAct as a primary quality gate for Release Candidates: define System Testing entry/exit criteria, sign‑off requirements, and soak expectations (for example, 24–48h+ without critical events). Summarize findings, risks, and recommendations and provide data‑driven input on go/no‑go decisions.
Lead technically and mentor othersCoach mid‑level and junior QE engineers (System Testing and system test) on test design, debugging, triage, and long‑running validation best practices. Refine System Testing processes, playbooks, and governance in partnership with engineering managers and technical leaders.
Advance automation, tooling, and observabilityPartner with automation teams to extend System Testing workflows (workload drivers, torture suites, health checks, dashboards). Improve observability for System Testing: metrics, alerting, and automated log/triage helpers that make issues obvious and actionable.

WHAT YOU BRING

10+ years in software QA / system test / performance / reliability engineering, with significant experience in system‑level or longevity testing of complex distributed or storage systems.
Strong understanding of storage concepts (block, file, snapshots, replication, HA/failover, NDUs) and their behavior under sustained load and fault conditions.
Proven ability to design and execute long‑running scenarios that surface race conditions, memory leaks, scaling issues, and resiliency gaps.
Strong debugging skills across host, network, storage system, logs, and metrics.
Hands‑on experience with Linux and at least one of VMware, Windows, or Kubernetes.
Solid experience with test automation (Python, shell), CI pipelines, and result dashboards.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross‑functional collaboration with Development, System Test, Release, and Support.
Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting complex findings and risk assessments to senior engineers and leaders.
Directory services and identity:AD, LDAP, Kerberos, ID mapping — and how per-tenant auth domains explode the test matrix.
Linux systems skills:shell, networking (VLANs, sub-interfaces, routing,ip,tc), service debugging, log and core analysis at scale
