Join the FB//EXA Engineering team to pioneer the future of modern data platforms, delivering six 9s of reliability through creative algorithms and high-performance system designs. You will drive innovation from concept to customer delivery, directly impacting how global organizations manage and utilize their data. This role offers end-to-end ownership and significant collaboration with top-tier software engineers who are passionate about making our customers successful.

WHAT YOULL DO

• Design and implement creative new algorithms and technologies for high-performance, highly reliable distributed storage systems, directly contributing to our goal of industry-leading six 9s of uptime.
• Take end-to-end ownership of features and projects, driving technical design, coding, testing, and deployment to deliver impactful innovations directly to our customers.
• Analyze and solve the most challenging problems in areas like distributed consensus, resource management, and data integrity to ensure the platforms scalability and robustness.
• Collaborate daily with a team of experienced and inspiring engineers to perform rigorous code reviews, share technical expertise, and influence the architectural direction of the Core Engineering platform.
• Relate platform performance and feature delivery directly to business impact, ensuring our technical choices meet customer needs and maintain our competitive advantage in the modern data landscape.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Deep mastery of a programming language like C, C++, Python, or Go, with the ability to write clean, high-performance, and maintainable production code.
• Deep expertise in *Linux or NIX-based systems programming, including a strong understanding of kernel-level concepts.
• Proven design sensibility and the ability to think critically about system architecture, trade-offs, and failure modes in complex, distributed environments.
• Demonstrable experience with the full lifecycle of hardware-software integration, including system bring-up, platform requirements definition, and debugging low-level interfaces (e.g., BMC, BIOS, PCI-e, I2C/SMBUS).
• Practical experience with storage or L2/L3 networking protocols and components, enabling you to deliver features that meet demanding mission-critical application requirements.
• A strong background in relevant systems software projects such as Distributed Systems, Database internals, or Virtualization (Hypervisors/Containers).
• Exceptional problem-solving skills and a persistent, insightful approach to tackling complex technical challenges and debugging at scale.
• We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Bangalore, India office in compliance with Pure s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
