Linux Kernel Software Engineer - Systems Engineering

$167k - $246k

Everpure, Inc.

Everpure (NYSE: P) has evolved from storage pioneer to data platform, closing fiscal 2026 with $3.7 billion in revenue, its first billion-dollar quarter, and accelerating growth into FY27. Our strategic agenda spans the companies defining the next era of technology - hyperscalers, AI labs, the AI hardware supply chain, data platform providers, and the broader AI ecosystem.

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

Join a world-class team of engineers building the next generation of enterprise storage solutions. As a key contributor, you'll be at the forefront of innovation, developing and optimizing the Linux kernel to push the boundaries of performance and reliability. You'll play a vital role in shaping the future of our products, collaborating with a brilliant team to solve complex challenges and deliver groundbreaking results.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Develop new features within the Linux kernel in support of Pure’s enterprise storage products.
  • Maintain and patch existing code to resolve difficult problems, including customer issues.
  • Optimize performance of the kernel within Pure’s arrays to meet customer requirements
  • Work cross-functionally and with partners and vendors, to diagnose and resolve problems at the boundary of hardware and software
  • Lead the architecture and development of software from initial concept to release, ensuring high-quality, resilient, and high-performance outcomes.
  • Collaborate and share knowledge with peers, providing mentorship as necessary.
  • Participate in code reviews and collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements for upcoming enterprise storage server projects.

WHAT YOU BRING

  • Deep, hands-on experience in Linux kernel and device driver development, with a proven ability to ship high-performance, resilient products. 
  • A strong foundation in computer architecture, operating systems, networking and core concepts like algorithms and data structures.
  • Exceptional problem-solving and debugging skills, with a natural curiosity to explore, design, and validate your work.
  • The ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly, both in writing and verbally.
  • Experience in optimizing performance across various layers, including CPU instruction sets, NUMA, interrupt handling, and threading.
  • Preferred experience
    • Experience upstreaming your Linux kernel code
    • Experience in storage system concepts and related protocols, especially NVME and PCIe
    • Working with hardware vendors to resolve difficult problems
  • We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara, CA office in compliance with Everpure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
