Work on challenging, system-level problems that directly impact product quality and customer experience. Build software that matters alongside experienced engineers across software, firmware, and hardware domains. Grow into broader technical leadership while staying deeply hands-on and leverage and advance industry-leading AI tool chains.
We are looking for a Senior Systems Software Engineer who will thrive on building software that solves complex, system-level problems. This role focuses on designing and developing production-quality software that drives validation, analysis, and system understanding for enterprise storage systems, at scale, under stress, and in real-world environments.
