SHOULD YOU ACCEPT THIS CHALLENGE...

As the Senior Engineering Manager for our Production team you’ll lead a group dedicated to ensuring the highest reliability of Pure’s newest product offering. Your mission will be to manage and improve the systems and processes that monitor and respond to fleet reliability issues—whether through reactive, proactive, or predictive measures. You’ll own the coordination of responses to critical issues, ensuring reliability through monitoring systems that detect, address, and prevent failures across all deployed systems.

Your team will be at the forefront of analyzing and solving the toughest production challenges, using forensic investigation techniques to identify critical software failures. The insights from these investigations will drive significant improvements, from fixing bugs and influencing new features to developing automation and monitoring tools that prevent future failures.

This role is highly collaborative, interacting with cross-functional teams—including hardware, software, support, and sales—and directly engaging with customers to resolve complex issues that impact their environments. You will be responsible for shaping the future of Pure Storage’s product reliability.
