Responsibilities:

- Validation Design: Author comprehensive performance and correctness validation plans for new storage tiers.

- Standardization: Draft Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and alerting/monitoring frameworks to scale operations.

- Security & Access: Own the access-control lifecycle for storage solutions, managing both vendor and customer permissions.

- Strategic Partnerships: Lead technical communications with vendors and act as a subject matter expert (SME) for customer success and complex account assistance.

- Leadership: Identify and act on signals for operational ownership; mentor junior engineers in specific storage sub-domains.

Requirements:

- 8+ years of experience designing, building, and operating large-scale multi-petabyte storage production environments

- A strong understanding of diverse storage solutions and their ecosystems

- File, Block, and Object storage types

- Storage Network Access Protocols such as NFS, SMB, and POSIX-compliant protocols

- NVME over Fabric Storage Transport Protocols: NVME/TCP, NVME/IB, or NVME/RoCE

- Storage performance via RDMA, GPUDirect Storage, parallel file systems

- Encryption, storage security, and multi-tenancy strategies

- Storage data-reduction and compression

- Data protection concepts, backup strategies, and disaster recovery

- 5+ years of experience in Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, Ansible)

Nice to Have:

- Experience with Kubernetes, including CSI and COSI drivers and CNI’s

- Deep understanding of storage performance

- Strong understanding of public cloud features (e.g., SDN, block storage, distributed file systems, identity management)
