• Engineer and manage storage solutions including NetApp (ONTAP), Dell Isilon (PowerScale), Dell Unity, and HPE Alletra.
• Provision and manage storage resources including volumes, LUNs, shares, and file systems across multi-tenant environments.
• Configure and manage SAN environments including zoning, masking, and WWPN-based connectivity.
• Design and support storage connectivity models including Fibre Channel (FC), iSCSI, Direct Attached Storage (DAS), and NVMe-based storage architectures.
• Manage and optimize storage performance, capacity, and availability across platforms.
• Lead storage-related activities for system migrations, data center moves, and workload transitions.
• Work closely with server, virtualization, and application teams to align storage solutions with compute and workload requirements.
• Implement and maintain backup, replication, and disaster recovery strategies across storage platforms.
• Perform advanced troubleshooting and root cause analysis (RCA) for storage and performance-related issues.
• Monitor storage systems and proactively address capacity, performance, and reliability risks.
• Maintain storage documentation, runbooks, and standard operating procedures.
• Ensure compliance with enterprise standards, data protection requirements, and configuration baselines.
• Drive automation and standardization of storage provisioning and management tasks where applicable.
• Participate in 24x7 on-call rotation, providing escalation support for storage and infrastructure incidents.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Skills and Competencies:

• Strong expertise in enterprise storage platforms including NetApp, Dell Isilon (PowerScale), Unity, and HPE Alletra.

• Fibre Channel (FC)
• iSCSI
• Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
• NVMe / NVMe-over-Fabrics
• Experience with both block and file storage architecture.
• Strong understanding of storage performance tuning, IOPS, throughput, latency, and capacity planning.
• Experience with replication, snapshots, and disaster recovery strategies across storage platforms.
• Familiarity with virtualization integrations (VMware) and storage-backed workloads.
• Exposure to automation and scripting (PowerShell, Python, or vendor tools) for storage management.
• Ability to translate architecture into deployable storage solutions with high reliability.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across multi-platform infrastructure environments.
• Strong collaboration skills working with server, network, and application teams.
• Demonstrated ownership, accountability, and pride in delivering high-quality engineering outcomes.
