Job description

We’re in an unbelievably exciting area of tech and are fundamentally reshaping the data storage industry. Here, you lead with innovative thinking, grow along with us, and join the smartest team in the industry.

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

You will be a key Senior Software Engineer driving the digital transformation of Everpure focused on innovating and enhancing our Modern Data platforms. Your mission is to design and implement highly reliable, high-performance algorithms and technologies that redefine the customer experience. This role requires an senior engineer who will use a deep understanding of organizational objectives to resolve complex issues and deliver innovative, end‑to‑end solutions alongside cross‑functional engineering and product teams.

What You’ll Do

• Implement strategic policies and develop novel, high-performance algorithms for distributed systems, ensuring the achievement of challenging goals (e.g., six 9's reliability).
• Own the end‑to‑end delivery of innovations, from initial concept and design through final testing and deployment into a shipped product, driving critical business outcomes.
• Analyze and resolve complex technical issues where a deep evaluation of variable factors is required, serving as a subject matter expert and selecting appropriate methods and techniques for obtaining results.
• Network with key contacts outside your immediate area of expertise to gather requirements and validate solutions, influencing system design decisions across functional boundaries.
• Mentor junior engineers and coordinate the technical activities of a project sub-team to maintain schedules and align with architectural vision.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience
• Extensive experience designing, developing, and deploying systems software using languages such as C++, Java, or Go.
• In‑depth knowledge and proven ability to successfully implement solutions within complex systems software domains (Distributed Systems, Operating Systems, Database Internals, Containerization).
• Demonstrated expertise in selecting methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria to resolve complex technical issues, exercising independent judgment in solution implementation.
• Strong design sensibility and the ability to articulate, advocate for, and defend architectural choices in a collaborative, team‑oriented environment.
• A track record of establishing and assuring adherence to performance requirements, work plans, and schedules for significant engineering initiatives.
• We are primarily an in‑office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work in the Santa Clara office in compliance with Everpure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
