This role is suited to someone with strong experience across enterprise SAN/NAS storage, Linuxadministrationand automation, with hands onexpertisein technologies such as NetApp, Pure Storage or EMC Isilon. Experience working across cloud or hybrid environments and a practical approach to troubleshooting and performanceoptimizationwill be key to success. A proactive mindset, strong problem solving skills and a passion for continuous improvement are just as important as technical expertise. Whether architecting new storage solutions, automating manual processes or resolving complex infrastructure challenges, there's an opportunity to make a real impact while supporting a global engineering organization., * 8+ years of hands-on experience architecting and managing enterprise SAN/NAS solutions in production environments * Deep technical knowledge of NetApp, Pure Storage, and EMC/Isilon platforms-deployment, configuration, and performance optimization * Strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to diagnose complex system and storage issues at the OS and protocol level * Real experienceautomating infrastructure tasks using Python, Perl, Bash, and Ansible in production environments, plus working knowledge of NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FCP, and S3 protocols * Experience with public cloud storage services (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and integrating cloud storage into hybrid architectures.Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience. Who You Are * When storage performance tanks, three questions and the right logs are usually enough toidentifywhetherit'sa network issue, a misconfigured LUN, or an application problem ## Description * Architect, deploy, and tune enterprise SAN and NAS solutions across NetApp, Pure Storage, and EMC/Isilon platforms that support engineering workloads globally * Build automation for storage provisioning, monitoring, and management using Python, Perl, Bash, and Ansible to cut down manual work and keep things consistent * Troubleshoot complex storage and Linux system issues-performance bottlenecks, connectivity problems, configuration drift across NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FCP, and S3 * Design and implement storage solutions in public cloud environments, bringing together on-premises infrastructure with cloud-native storage services * Lead storage architecture projects from evaluation through deployment, including capacity planning, vendor selection, migration execution, and mentoring junior engineers The Impact You Will Have * The architecture decisions made here directlydeterminewhether engineering teams can scale their workloads or hit storage bottlenecks that slow down product development * The automation frameworks built willeliminatehundreds of hours of manual provisioning work each quarter, freeing IT resources for higher-value work * Performance tuning ensures that semiconductor design workflows, which generate massive I/O loads, run predictably and efficiently * Strong troubleshooting skills reduce storage-related incidents and mean time to resolution, keeping engineering teams productive * The standards and documentation created will shape how storage is architected and managed across Synopsys IT for years to come., * Automation scripts written are readable and maintainable-other engineers can pick them up andmodifythem six months later without a translation guide * Pushing back is part of the job when someone asks for a storage solution without explaining workload characteristics, capacity growth, or performance requirements * Managing multiple architecture projects at once, each at a different stage, without losing track of dependencies or timelines comes naturally * Technical tradeoffs are communicated clearly to both engineers and IT leadership, explaining why one storage platform makes sense for a given use case without getting lost in vendor marketing The Team You'll Be Part Of This role joins the team responsible for managing Synopsys' global enterprise storage infrastructure across data centers worldwide. The team's mission is to keep engineering and R&D environments running efficiently by ensuring storage availability,maintainingenterprise storage platforms, and providing infrastructure support that internal engineering teams depend on every day. The work directly enables semiconductor design workflows that power the company's product development. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
