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 Role
Portworx by Pure Storage is the leading global solution for unlocking the potential of Kubernetes by unlocking the power of data at enterprise scale. Portworx is a cloud native platform that enterprises depend on to reduce the cost and complexity of rapidly deploying containerized applications across multiple clouds and on-prem environments. By providing a single standard that works across the environment, we reduce the operating cost of kubernetes, unlock more use cases, respond and pivot to changes due to economic, regulatory and/or business impacts and make it easier to modernize applications, delight developers, and deliver innovation.
Via Portworx, you can manage any database or stateful service on any infrastructure using any container scheduler. You get a single data management layer for all of your stateful services, no matter where they run. And we thrive in multi-cloud environments.
We are looking for Kubernetes experts to help our team capture this massive and rapidly growing market opportunity. This architect role will serve as the vanguard of the “Kubernetes Everywhere” movement. There’s no safe harbor here for those that can’t, don't, or won’t. There’s also no room for those that put “I” ahead of “We”.
We are customer first, we lead with integrity, and recognize that unlocking achievement requires engagement across the full spectrum of co-selling partners. We are builders, creators, and helping define the next generation of the world’s best modern data platform at Pure.
What You’ll Do
The Pure Storage Cloud Architecture team is responsible for providing pre-sales deep technical and business expertise to customers who want to run stateful applications in containers and automate “Day 2” data management workflows.
What You Bring
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
$151,900—$249,900 USD
