Pure in Prague

Pure Storage is building its first R&D site outside of North America in Prague, Czech Republic. The goal is to build a world-class engineering capability to support our rapidly expanding customer base and to expand Pure’s capacity to leverage local and regional talent pools.

• Are ready to dive into a complex problem and be the one who will drive it to a resolution.
• Enjoy working with distributed systems, algorithms, operating systems, Linux kernel, database internals, hypervisors, containers, compilers and hardware… or at least some of those.

• Enjoy working in a collaborative team environment in an open office.

If this describes you, let's talk! You can take a part in changing how the world works with data.

• Strong customer focus
• Solid knowledge of end-to-end quality best practices
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Patient, energetic, and calm under pressure
