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

As the Engineering Manager for the FlashArray (FA) Foundation Quality Engineering team, you will build and lead a high-performing team of Quality Engineers and Software Test Developers in Bangalore. You will combine people leadership, technical judgment, and execution discipline to drive the quality, test automation, and release readiness of foundational FlashArray capabilities.

Working at the intersection of software, hardware, firmware, and cloud infrastructure, you will partner closely with Development, Product Management, Release, and Support teams. Your focus will be translating complex roadmap requirements into modern test strategies, establishing strong shift-left CI/CD signals, and ensuring our products consistently deliver industry-leading reliability to our customers.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Build & Lead a High-Performing Team: Hire, mentor, and coach a newly forming team of quality and automation engineers in Bangalore, fostering a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, and shared ownership.

- Drive Quality Strategy & Shift-Left Automation: Define and execute the FA Foundation quality roadmap—including risk-based coverage, automated CI/CD pipeline integration, fault injection, and release-readiness criteria across software, firmware, and hardware.

- Partner Cross-Functionally for Delivery: Collaborate early in the design cycle with Development, Architecture, Product, and Release teams to improve testability, align dependencies, remove roadblocks, and ensure high-confidence product deliveries.

- Optimize Frameworks & AI Integration: Modernize test automation frameworks, testbed configurations, and triage workflows—incorporating AI-assisted engineering tools to improve log analysis, test generation, and failure triage speed.

- Transform Learnings into Prevention: Utilize quality metrics (coverage, pass rates, triage time) and root-cause analyses from customer escalations to establish durable automated test coverage and prevent recurring issues.

Work Location: We value direct collaboration and maintain an in-office environment. You will be based out of our Bangalore office in compliance with company policies, outside of standard approved leave or business travel.
