Job summary

Pure Storage is hiring a software engineer to design, build, and scale CI/CD and build-and-test pipelines across engineering teams in Santa Clara. You will develop production-quality services, APIs, and tools to simplify pipeline configuration, execution, and reporting.

You will drive architecture toward modular, fault-tolerant components, improve performance as workloads grow, and strengthen observability with metrics and diagnostics for quick root-cause and reliability improvements.

Qualifications

• Experience designing, building, testing, and maintaining production-quality software, services, or developer platforms.
• Hands-on understanding of CI/CD, build systems, release workflows, or related engineering infrastructure.
• Proficiency in Python, Go, Java, or C++, with scripting and automation skills.
• Strong fundamentals in API design, distributed systems, concurrency, testing, debugging, and performance.
• Experience with Linux/Unix systems and diagnosing issues across application, operating-system, network, storage, or infrastructure layers.
• A data- and quality-oriented mindset using logs, metrics, dashboards, queries, or tracing to improve reliability.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable CI/CD, build, and test pipeline capabilities that provide fast, predictable feedback to engineering teams.
• Develop production-quality services, APIs, workflows, and developer tools that simplify pipeline configuration, execution, debugging, and reporting.
• Evolve the pipeline architecture toward modular, fault-tolerant, durable, and well-defined components with clear interfaces and manageable blast radius.
• Improve pipeline performance, capacity, and resource utilization as workloads grow across engineering environments.
• Build meaningful observability, metrics, and diagnostics so engineers can understand pipeline health, identify failures quickly, and make decisions from data.
• Partner with product engineering, release engineering, and platform services teams to deliver capabilities that solve real workflow problems and support critical releases.
• Own outcomes end to end, including testing, documentation, operational readiness, incident follow-through, and long-term improvements to the systems you build.

Job description

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

Pipeline Engineering builds the systems that help our engineers develop, test, and ship Pure Storage products with speed and confidence. In this role, you will design, build, enhance, and scale CI/CD and build-and-test pipelines used across engineering. You will work on software and services that make complex workflows simpler, more reliable, and easier to operate. You will partner closely with product engineers, Production Engineering teams, and release stakeholders to understand real developer needs and deliver durable solutions. This is a software development role with meaningful impact on engineering productivity, platform reliability, and the future of our pipeline architecture.

What you will do

• Design and implement scalable CI/CD, build, and test pipeline capabilities that provide fast, predictable feedback to engineering teams.
• Develop production-quality services, APIs, workflows, and developer tools that simplify pipeline configuration, execution, debugging, and reporting.
• Evolve the pipeline architecture toward modular, fault-tolerant, durable, and well-defined components with clear interfaces and manageable blast radius.
• Improve pipeline performance, capacity, and resource utilization as workloads grow across FlashArray, FlashBlade, and other engineering environments.
• Build meaningful observability, metrics, and diagnostics so engineers can understand pipeline health, identify failures quickly, and make decisions from data.
• Partner with product engineering, release engineering, and platform services teams to deliver capabilities that solve real workflow problems and support critical releases.
• Own outcomes end to end, including testing, documentation, operational readiness, incident follow-through, and long-term improvements to the systems you build.

What you bring

• Experience designing, building, testing, and maintaining production-quality software, services, or developer platforms.
• Hands-on understanding of CI/CD, build systems, test orchestration, release workflows, or related engineering infrastructure.
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Go, Java, or C++, along with strong scripting and automation skills.
• Solid software engineering fundamentals, including API design, distributed systems, concurrency, testing, debugging, and performance analysis.
• Experience working with Linux/Unix systems and diagnosing problems across application, operating-system, network, storage, or infrastructure layers.
• A data- and quality-oriented mindset, with experience using logs, metrics, dashboards, queries, or tracing to improve reliability and developer experience.
• Strong ownership, communication, and collaboration skills; you can work through ambiguity, influence across teams, learn quickly, and help others succeed.

Salary ranges are determined based on role, level and location. For positions open to candidates in multiple geographical locations, the base salary range is reflective of the labor market across the applicable locations.

This role may be eligible for incentive pay and/or equity.

There is no application deadline and we accept applications on an ongoing basis until the job is filled.

The annual base salary range is: $180,000 - $270,000 USD
