Member Technical Staff- System Testing, FB

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

As a System Test Engineer, you will be the champion of "Customer-First" reliability for Everpure™ FlashBlade, our industry-leading Unified Fast File and Object (UFFO) platform. You won’t just run tests; you will architect complex, real-world system environments that simulate the most demanding hyperscale workloads. Collaborating with Solution Architects and Product Managers, your mission is to ensure that the Everpure™ Platform remains the gold standard for enterprise readiness and data integrity.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Architect System-Level Validation: Own the end-to-end testing strategy for Everpure™ FlashBlade, translating complex product requirements and customer use cases into robust, automated test plans that span multiple release cycles.

• Simulate Real-World Workloads: Deploy and scale third-party I/O tools (such as fio, SpecFS, and Load Dynamix) alongside application ecosystems like Elastic Search and Vertica to validate performance, latency, and bandwidth under stress.

• Drive Distributed Systems Quality: Lead the validation of critical data-path features, including NFS, SMB, and S3 protocols, ensuring seamless data replication, RTO/RPO compliance, and networking stability across VLANs and LACP.

• Accelerate Root-Cause Resolution: Partner with Support and Escalation teams to reproduce complex customer-reported issues, performing deep-level forensics to document defects and drive high-priority fixes with the Development team.

• Modernize Automation Frameworks: Enhance our Python-based (Pytest) automation suite, integrating test-driven development (TDD) and continuous integration (CI) practices to improve overall team velocity and release confidence.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Distributed Systems & Storage Expertise: Extensive experience in software testing for enterprise storage products, with a deep technical understanding of file system protocols (NFS, SMB, S3), I/O datapath, and data replication.

• Advanced Automation Skills: Proficiency in building scalable automation frameworks (ideally using Pytest) and experience testing RESTful web services and backend APIs within an Agile, CI/CD environment.

• Infrastructure & Ecosystem Fluency: Hands-on experience with Linux kernels, hypervisors, and containers, combined with a strong understanding of how customers deploy storage with backup/database workloads (e.g., Veeam, Commvault).

• Analytical Design Philosophy: A proven ability to review technical design docs and author detailed, outcome-oriented test plans that prioritize system-level robustness and "Customer-First" quality.

• Location: We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Bangalore office in compliance with Everpure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US:

• Innovation: We celebrate those who think critically, like a challenge, and aspire to be trailblazers.
• Growth: We give you the space and support to grow along with us and to contribute to something meaningful. We have been named Fortune's Best Workplaces in Technology™, Fortune's Best Workplaces in the Bay Area™, and certified as a Great Place to Work®!
• Team: We build each other up and set aside ego for the greater good.
