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 releases Define 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 scenarios Build 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 beds Own 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 readiness Act as a primary quality gate for Release Candidates define System Testing entryexit 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 others Coach 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 observability Partner with automation teams to extend System Testing workflows workload drivers torture suites health checks dashboards Improve observability for System Testing metrics alerting and automated logtriage 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
Nice‑to‑have
- Background in enterprise storage.
- Experience with performance engineering capacity longevity modeling or customer‑data‑driven test design.
- Exposure to AI‑assisted test design or triage and interest in using new tools to improve coverage and efficiency.
- Experience working with different hypervisors backup applications databases video streaming or healthcare applicationsworkloads is a plus
- Prior multi‑tenancy RBAC virtual‑array isolation work in storage or cloud.
- Replication and DR async ADR sync‑rep ActiveCluster or metro‑cluster split‑brain and resync validation.
- QoS and quotatest background.
