WD is building the infrastructure behind the AI-driven data economy.

As AI scales, so does data. Every interaction, every model, every system generates data that must be stored, managed, and made accessible over time. That’s where we come in.

We combine deep engineering expertise with global-scale manufacturing to deliver the storage systems that make AI possible, powering hyperscale data centers, cloud platforms, and enterprise infrastructure worldwide.

This isn’t theoretical work. It’s real systems, at real scale, people solving some of the hardest challenges in technology today.

We’re looking for people who want to build, solve, and operate at that level.

Join us and let’s shape the future of data.

Build the AI-powered tools thatWD's engineers actually use every day.

You'llown full-stack features end-to-end — from UI to database to AI/ML components — and your work will directly shape how next-gen storage devices are designed, tested, and manufactured.

What you'll build
:

AI features and automation workflows embedded in production engineering apps

RAG-based pipelines and LLM integrations across tools like ADAM, WDFA, LIMS, and DRVM

New tooling for monitoring HDD product telemetry data in real time

Reusable AI/ML patterns deployable across the full DRI Tools portfolio

Full-stack components spanning UI, REST APIs, backend services, and data layers

Design, develop, test, and ship software tools — web, desktop, and CLI — in a large-scale enterprise engineering environment

Evaluate and integrate LLMs and embedding models into existing applications

Build and expand automation and telemetry monitoring platforms

Write clean, well-tested, maintainable Python code aligned to team standards

Collaborate directly with HDD R&D and product engineering stakeholders to scope and ship solutions that reduce manual effort

Stay current on open-source AI tooling and emerging frameworks
