Job summary

Eteam in India seeks an experienced Engineering role to design and maintain information systems, focusing on automating vulnerability management, patching, access governance, and configuration compliance across the storage platform estate.

As the primary technical builder, you will convert prototypes into production-grade automation, delivering within tight 60–90 day timelines while collaborating with engineers and analysts to meet security and operational goals.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of relevant IT experience in data protection and storage.
• Hands-on experience administering and engineering solutions on PPDM, Data Domain, ECS, Rubrik, and/or NetApp ONTAP in enterprise environments.
• Proven experience building automation and orchestration tooling (scripting, APIs, playbooks).
• Working knowledge of vulnerability management concepts, including CVE tracking, patch cycles, and asset correlation.
• Experience with REST API integration, particularly with NetApp ActiveIQ and/or ONTAP APIs.
• Experience with credential vaulting and automated secrets/credential rotation (e.g., CyberArk, HashiCorp Vault, or similar).
• Strong scripting ability (PowerShell, Python, or similar) for building integrations and automation.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and deliver production-grade solutions under compressed timelines.

Responsibilities

• Build orchestrated patching playbooks with pre/post validation for PPDM, Data Domain, Avamar, Rubrik, and ONTAP, enabling on-disclosure CVE remediation
• Develop a CVE-to-asset correlation service against live platform inventory
• Build scheduled backup posture validation covering immutability, retention locks, replication, and anti-ransomware controls; advance existing prototypes to production
• Implement configuration drift detection using ActiveIQ and ONTAP REST APIs, with automated baselines for top security-critical settings (FIPS, encryption-at-rest, audit logging, export policies)
• Build automated deprovisioning workflows for backup admin access tied to HR/IAM events
• Integrate vault-based credential rotation for backup automation service accounts
• Produce audit-ready documentation and evidence artifacts for each automated control
• Collaborate with system analysts, engineers, and programmers to design systems and determine project limitations and interfaces
