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.
