Qumulo's cloud data platform manages exabytes of the world's most demanding data, unifying files, objects, and every workload across edge, core, and cloud. Qumulo opened its European software R&D hub in Cork in March 2026, and this role is part of building that team out. About the Role: You'll be one of the first hires on a team with a single mandate: find out how Qumulo breaks before our customers do. The platform manages exabytes of data for more than 1,100 customers across on-prem and every major cloud, and these are mission-critical workloads where a missed edge case becomes a customer's bad day. This is a role for an engineer who thinks like a breaker. You'll put on the customer's hat, work out how a feature will really get used, and design the tests that push it past its limits across hardware and cloud. You'll automate the testing our principal engineers run by hand today, and decide what gets tested, how often, and why. You'll help build this function from the ground up, including where we set the quality bar and which builds are good enough to ship. As a Site Resilience Engineer at Qumulo, you will: Design and operationalize testing for new features: work out how customers will actually use them, how to scale-test them, and how to break them Automate the manual, repetitive testing our principal engineers run by hand today, using Python and our in-house frameworks on Jenkins and Argo Build a data-driven plan for which tests run, how often, and why, plus the framework to schedule and rerun them Troubleshoot build and test failures across VM instances and Qumulo-qualified hardware, from compile-time errors to integration failures Read cluster output and C error logs to tell a test problem from an infrastructure problem from a real bug Set up monitoring and alerting so problems surface early (we use OpenMetrics, Grafana, InfluxDB, and Prometheus alongside home-grown tooling) Help set the quality bar for releases, including a real say in what ships Take part in an on-call rotation for the systems your team owns Our ideal SRE will have: 3+ years building and operating automated testing, validation, and/or certification for complex software systems Strong programming ability in C. Experience with distributed file systems, or parallel filesystems, would be a major plus A real breaker's instinct. You go looking for edge cases and ask "what happens if I do this?" before anyone asks you to A track record of building tests yourself, not just running test plans handed to you Hands-on experience across both on-premises infrastructure and cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure), with a real grasp of where each one's limits are Working fluency in Linux (we run Ubuntu) and Python A data-driven approach to deciding what to test and how often Experience with orchestration tools (Ansible, Terraform), containers, and Kubernetes Solid understanding of networks (routing, firewalls, security inspection devices, switch configuration) a plus Storage (IOPS, Latency, read/write patterns) or protocol experience (NFS, SMB, S3, etc) a strong plus The annual pay range for the role is €80,000–€120,000 plus a comprehensive benefits package including equity, pension, and private healthcare. Individual pay depends on various factors, such as role level, relevant experience, and skills.
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
