TL;DR · Storage & Virtualization Engineer

The Storage & Virtualization Engineer provides L2 technical and incident-management support for storage, virtualization, and compute dependencies used by AMD Fleet Services. This offshore role serves as an escalation point for incidents exceeding L1 runbooks, requiring advanced diagnosis, coordinated restoration, and recovery validation. The engineer improves reliability and operational readiness by converting recurring issues into automation, SOPs, and capacity improvements. Key responsibilities include troubleshooting storage platforms like Weka, NetApp, Pure, Ceph, Lustre, and NFS, alongside virtualization environments such as Xen, VMware, and KVM. Candidates must possess strong Linux administration skills and experience with Python, shell, Ansible, and APIs. The role involves isolating failures across hosts, hypervisors, and networks while correlating telemetry with compute and identity evidence to resolve complex infrastructure problems.

What you'll do

  • Provide L2 technical support and incident management for storage, virtualization, and compute services.
  • Lead technical investigations from initial diagnosis through mitigation, recovery validation, and final closure.
  • Troubleshoot storage platforms including Weka, NetApp, Pure, Ceph, and Lustre technologies.
  • Diagnose virtualization issues across Xen, VMware, and KVM environments including host health and resource allocation.
  • Resolve Linux host and virtual-machine issues involving filesystems, multipathing, permissions, and performance.
  • Automate repeatable diagnostics and remediation tasks using Python, shell, Ansible, or APIs.
  • Develop and maintain SOPs, runbooks, and knowledge articles to enable consistent L1 execution.
  • Improve observability by defining actionable telemetry, alerts, dashboards, and capacity thresholds.

What we're looking for

  • Provide L2 technical support and incident management for storage, virtualization, and related compute services.
  • Perform advanced diagnosis, mitigation, and recovery validation for storage, hypervisor, and virtual machine failures.
  • Troubleshoot storage platforms such as Weka, NetApp, Pure, Ceph, Lustre, NFS, or block storage.
  • Troubleshoot virtualization platforms including Xen, VMware, and KVM.
  • Diagnose Linux host and virtual-machine issues involving filesystems, multipathing, permissions, and performance.
  • Automate diagnostics and remediation using Python, shell, Ansible, APIs, or comparable tools.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field (preferred).
  • Certifications in storage, virtualization, Linux, cloud, automation, or IT service-management (preferred).
