Job description

Data storage is at the heart of everything we do in life. From every photo to every financial transaction, data is generated and stored somewhere in the world, be it on a customer’s own premises or in the cloud.

The FlashSystem team at IBM Hursley creates resilient, high-performance and intelligent storage software that keeps business-critical systems and data available 24/7.

Our success comes down to one thing: our people. We’re hiring and looking for people with a passion to learn and contribute to the success of the FlashSystem products.

IBM FlashSystem delivers high-performance, highly-functional solutions that make hybrid cloud storage simple for every enterprise, from hospitals to data centres.

The IBM FlashSystem family of data storage solutions is designed to meet all these needs while reducing costs and complexity. IBM FlashSystem combines the performance of flash and a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe)-optimised architecture with the IBM FlashCore technology and IBM Storage Virtualize software. https://www.ibm.com/flashsystem
