  • Administer enterprise storage platforms including NetApp, Pure FlashArray/FlashBlade, Vast, and HPE Alletra.
  • Monitor and troubleshoot performance issues across hardware, RDMA transport, and protocol layers.
  • Manage data permissions and access controls across various protocols and operating systems.
  • Develop automation tools for monitoring, capacity planning, configuration management, and alerting.
  • Define and enforce standards for storage deployment, performance tuning, and operational management.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM field and 3+ years of experience; OR 5+ years of IT storage engineering experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Experience with enterprise storage platforms including NetApp, Pure Storage, Vast, and HPE Alletra.
  • Strong understanding of storage protocols such as NFS, CIFS/SMB, iSCSI, and NVMe over TCP.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, lawful permanent resident, or eligible for required export control authorizations.
