What are the responsibilities and job description for the Security Software Engineer, FlashArray position at purestorage?
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 FlashArray team builds the industry’s most innovative, high-performance, and highly available portfolio of products that are designed for the most demanding mission critical applications. While we deliver a hardware storage array, over 90% of our engineering staff are software engineers. Our customers are the most important part of our business and they love FlashArray for it's simplicity of management, the constant flow of new and exciting upgrades, and ability to live on the cutting edge of technology while never taking downtime, ever. Most recently, we extended the value of our FlashArray capabilities into the cloud with CloudSnap and Cloud Block Store for AWS. These new innovations enable our customers to leverage the agility of the public cloud for both traditional IT and cloud-native applications. This particular role is for a security-minded software engineer. What you'll be doing:
- Design and implement creative new algorithms and technologies for high-performance, highly reliable systems (think six 9’s)
- Own and deliver FlashArray product security features end-to-end, from concept to shipped product
- Analyze and solve challenging problems through persistence and insight, with an eye toward making FlashArray more secure
- Work as a team with smart peers who inspire you and who are inspired by you
- Make customers really happy, because that’s why we do what we do
- Learn a ton, whether you know a lot, or nothing about system software
- A minimum of 5 years of experience using a systems programming language (e.g. C , python, etc) (< 1 year industry experience? Please apply directly to our University roles on our careers page)
- Natural curiosity with proven design sensibility and willingness to work in a collaborative, team oriented environment
- Experience in any number of related systems software projects e.g: Distributed systems, Operating systems, Linux Kernel, Database internals, Hypervisors, Containers, Compiler Optimization, etc.
- Experience with security technologies (encryption, network security, application security, etc.) is a strong plus, but a lack of relevant work experience shouldn’t deter an otherwise qualified candidate from applying
- A BS degree in Computer Science; Advanced degrees are a bonus!
- Must be willing and able to work in an open office environment
- We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the {{Santa Clara, CA}} office in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
The annual base salary range is: $211,000– $317,000. 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.
