About the role
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 Despite the "Engineer" title, this isn't a typical back-end coding job. This is a pre-sales and architectural advisory role for someone who is part scientist, part consultant, and part communicator. At the Staff / Principal level, you are expected to be a hybrid heavy hitter — someone who can talk shop with PhD data scientists and then walk into a boardroom and explain the ROI to a CEO. We aren't looking for your average expert. We're building a team of T-shaped professionals with: • Deep Technical Roots — You know PyTorch, Kubernetes, and GPU clusters (NVIDIA/AMD) inside and out, and you know when XGBoost is a better choice than the latest frontier model. • Broad Business Acumen — You understand verticals, e.g. how a hospital's AI needs differ from a hedge fund's, and can navigate both conversations with credibility. • Collaborative Autonomy — With a global remit and potential for 30-60% travel, you are in charge of driving results within diverse collaborations. We're building a small, global Applied AI team to work directly with enterprise customers and partners — helping them turn AI ambitions into production outcomes on Pure's platform. This team brings genuine research and production depth to customer-facing engagements: leading technical advisory sessions, shaping AI strategy for some of the world's largest companies, and contributing to Pure's growing reputation in AI through publications, conferences, and thought leadership. The team also ensures Pure's account teams can effectively qualify and position AI advisory opportunities across their territories, and provides enablement to our internal field and channel partner communities. The role requires working cross-functionally across Solutions, Marketing, Alliances, Engineering, Enablement, and Sales to align initiatives and go-to-market campaigns — all while maintaining genuine technical depth in enterprise AI. If this sounds like you, come join one of the most exciting teams at Pure. WHAT YOU'LL DO: • Lead technical discovery and advisory engagements with customers to identify high-value AI use cases relevant to their industry and data • Advise on end-to-end AI deployment — model selection, training/fine-tuning strategies, inference optimization, data pipeline design, and evaluation/alignment/safety frameworks — optimized for Pure's platform • Collaborate cross-functionally to qualify and position AI opportunities, and develop proof-of-value prototypes that translate technical performance into business outcomes • Create AI enablement content for field teams, partners, and customers — technical walkthroughs, qualification guides, workshops, and vertical-specific use case frameworks • Present at industry conferences, publish technical content and peer-reviewed research, and represent Pure in engagements with strategic technology partners (NVIDIA, AMD, cloud providers, MSPs) • Operate autonomously in ambiguous environments — independently scoping high-impact initiatives and driving them to completion at the right pace WHAT YOU BRING: • Advanced degree in a quantitative field (Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, or related), or equivalent demonstrated through publications and production s
