THE ROLE

As a Senior Network Engineer, you will be a founding technical pillar for our new Plano, Texas data center, bridging the gap between hardware engineering and software-driven automation. You will design and deploy high-performance spine-leaf fabrics that serve as the backbone for Pure’s global R&D, ensuring our engineering teams have the deterministic capacity they need to innovate. Collaborating across Infrastructure Engineering, you’ll transform complex networking requirements into automated, self-healing services that power the future of data storage.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Architect & Deploy Next-Gen Fabrics: Own the end-to-end design and implementation of Clos spine–leaf data center fabrics (BGP EVPN/VXLAN) and VRF-based segmentation to provide secure, scalable connectivity for Plano and our global R&D sites.

• Drive Infrastructure as Code: Develop and maintain automated workflows using Ansible, Python, and ZTP to standardize configuration templates, integrating network provisioning directly into compute and PDU commissioning workflows.

• Support the Plano Launch & Migration: Act as the onsite technical lead for the Texas facility buildout, coordinating with Hardware and Logistics teams to oversee rack/pod turn-ups, structured cabling verification, and the seamless migration of tenant testbeds.

• Elevate Observability & Reliability: Optimize network health by onboarding devices into NMS/flow tools and managing the full lifecycle of L2/L3 incidents to ensure 24/7 operational reliability for engineering customers.

• Technical Mentorship & Governance: Serve as a senior resource for NetDevOps practices, mentoring junior engineers and defining the documentation standards (runbooks and topologies) that will govern our global network operations.

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

WHAT YOU BRING

• Data Center Engineering Expertise: Deep technical command of L1-L3 networking (OSPF, BGP, EVPN/VXLAN, IPv4/IPv6) and hands-on experience operating major switching platforms like Arista, Cisco, or Juniper.

• NetDevOps & Automation Toolkit: Proven ability to manage infrastructure through code, utilizing Linux proficiency and scripting (Python/Shell) to build Ansible-driven deployment and monitoring solutions.

• Security & Service Integration: Extensive experience configuring data center firewalls, load balancers, and network zones to maintain robust security postures across complex lab and production environments.

• Strategic Problem Solving: A track record of leading scoped technical workstreams independently—from initial design and capacity planning to incident response and high-stakes data center migrations.

Ways of Working

• Location: Dallas, Texas area. You will start remotely while the office space is being built out, with an expectation of regular on-site work at the Plano data center for deployments and incident response once active.

• Schedule: Standard US business hours with flexibility for global collaboration; participation in an on-call rotation and maintenance windows is required to support 24/7 operations.

• Travel: Occasional travel to other Pure data centers (e.g., Utah, California) for planning sessions and team on-sites.
