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.

As a Software Engineer Intern, you will accelerate the future of data storage by tackling high-stakes engineering challenges alongside industry veterans. You aren't here to shadow; you are here to build, owning a mission-critical project that directly impacts our product roadmap. By collaborating in an agile pair-programming environment, you will transform complex theoretical concepts into high-performance code that powers some of the world’s largest enterprises.

• Architect and Implement Core Features: Own the end-to-end development of a technical project—from design to deployment—to enhance system reliability, performance, or scalability.
• Optimize High-Performance Code: Write and refine production-level C++ code to solve bottlenecks within complex distributed systems or flash-management layers.
• Collaborate and Peer Review: Partner with a fellow intern and senior mentors to conduct rigorous code reviews, ensuring all contributions meet our high standards for security and efficiency.
• Drive Data-Informed Iteration: Test and validate your solutions using Python or Go-based automation frameworks to ensure your project delivers measurable improvements to the Pure ecosystem.

• Technical Foundation: C++ and a comprehensive grasp of Computer Science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and systems programming.
• Academic Progression: Current enrollment in a BS, MS, or PhD program in Computer Science or a related technical field, with a graduation date scheduled for 2027 and later. 
• Execution and Ownership: The ability to navigate ambiguous technical problems and deliver high-quality, documented results within a 12-week project lifecycle.
• Collaborative Mindset: Effective communication skills and the desire to solve problems within a transparent, team-oriented environment.
• Location: We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from Prague office in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
