Job Summary

We are seeking an Infrastructure Storage Engineer with deep expertise across enterprise storage platforms — Net App ONTAP, Pure Storage, and Ceph — to design, deploy, and operate the storage foundation that supports our compute, virtualization, database, and Kubernetes workloads.

The role spans block, file, and object storage across data center, edge, and cloud environments, with strong attention to performance, data protection, and cost.

The ideal candidate has operated heterogeneous storage estates at scale, understands the storage characteristics of diverse workloads, and brings strong automation discipline to storage engineering work.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and operate enterprise storage platforms across Net App ONTAP, Pure Storage Flash Array/Flash Blade, and Ceph.
• Implement and manage SAN, NAS, and object storage across data center and cloud environments.
• Build storage solutions for VMware, Kubernetes (CSI drivers), and database workloads.
• Design and operate replication, snapshot, and backup strategies for critical data assets.
• Implement and operate cloud-tiered storage with Fabric Pool, Cloud Volumes, or equivalent.
• Build storage automation using Ansible, Terraform, REST APIs, and platform-native automation.
• Operate Ceph clusters including OSD lifecycle, CRUSH maps, RGW, RBD, and Ceph FS.
• Design and operate storage performance management for high-throughput and latency-sensitive workloads.
• Implement data protection strategies including ransomware protection and immutable snapshots.
• Build storage observability across capacity, performance, and health dimensions, surfacing the signals operators need to spot capacity pressure, performance regressions, and failing components before users feel the impact.
• Lead storage upgrades, firmware lifecycle management, and security patching across the storage estate, planning each campaign to maintain availability for the workloads dependent on the platform.
• Drive storage cost optimization including deduplication, compression, and tiering strategies.
• Troubleshoot complex storage issues spanning array, network, and host layers.
• Stay current with storage industry developments and emerging platforms, regularly review release notes and community discussions, and translate noteworthy advances into concrete recommendations and adoption proposals for the team.
• Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
• Five or more years of enterprise storage engineering experience.
• Deep expertise in Net App ONTAP or Pure Storage Flash Array/Flash Blade.
• Hands-on experience with Ceph at production scale.
• Strong understanding of SAN, NAS, and object storage protocols.
• Experience with storage integration for VMware and Kubernetes (CSI).
• Strong scripting and automation skills using Ansible, Terraform, or REST APIs.
• Strong understanding of storage performance, capacity planning, and cost optimization.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across storage, network, and host layers.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Preferred Qualifications
• Vendor certifications (NCDA, NCIE, Pure Storage certifications).
• Experience with hybrid-cloud storage replication.
• Familiarity with software-defined storage platforms beyond Ceph.
• Experience with object storage at petabyte scale.
• Exposure to AI/ML workloads with extreme I/O requirements.
