• Lead Competitive Benchmarking: Conduct deep-dive technical analysis of the storage landscape to identify gaps and opportunities, ensuring FlashArray maintains its lead in IOPS, latency, and data reduction efficiency.
• Drive Cross-Functional Engineering Alignment: Act as the primary interface between the CTO’s vision and Engineering execution, ensuring that foundational codebases support long-term scalability and hardware-software synergy.

• Collaborative Technical Influence: Strong capability to lead through influence, gaining buy-in from senior architects and developers while maintaining a clear vision for the product’s technical evolution.
• Location: 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.
