THE ROLE

We are seeking an experienced Platform Software Engineer for our Systems Software Team. You will be working as part of a dynamic team and will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing system software functionality for Pure’s upcoming platforms. The work spans the gamut of Systems software and you will have the opportunity to work in a wide range of areas and features ranging from Platform drivers to networking and storage layers.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Plan and influence the lifecycle of new Hardware Platforms. Work on problems ranging from design, bring up, to deployment, upgrades and fleet level reliability.
• Participate in the full lifecycle of new hardware platforms from early bring up through manufacturing release. Work closely with peer teams to debug complex HW/FW of new server hardware, including CPUs, chipsets, and peripheral components. Debug complex HW/FW issues across x86, PCIe, NVMe, and networking using lab tools (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG) and kernel/driver traces.
• Design, implement and improve remote server management capabilities (e.g., using standards like Redfish) and enhance Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) features.
• Design, write and maintain software components in C/C++, Python, Golang and RUST.
• Collaborate with vendors on requirements specification and follow through to system delivery.
• Work closely with hardware engineers, system architects, and operating system developers to define specifications, review designs, and ensure seamless hardware-software integration.

• Strong interest in CPU Architecture and Data Centre Hardware. Desire to dive deep in solving problems at the intersection of hardware and software.
• Experience leading teams and projects both within the organization and across cross-functional groups.
• Hands on experience with hardware platforms, including design/requirements feedback, bring-up, system-level debugging, customer delivery, and support.
• Experience with most or all of: CPU architectures, BMC, BIOS, PCI-e, I2C (and SMBUS, PMBUS variants).
• Solid Linux skills (kernel logs, drivers, bootloaders) and ability to root‑cause across HW/FW/OS boundaries.
• Good verbal communication & collaboration skills.

NICE TO HAVE REQUIREMENTS

• Prior experience shipping /supporting enterprise class x86 based appliances
• Prior experience with BMC firmware, OpenBMC or equivalent, and management protocols such as Redfish/IPMI.
• Prior experience with BIOS/UEFI development and/or debugging #LI-ONSITE
