Who Thrives Here
You take ownership and follow through. You're equally comfortable working alone or as part of a team, and you stay steady when critical systems are under pressure. Because you'll work at the client's site every day, you need to be polished and clear with stakeholders at every level. Above all, you care about reliability and getting the details right.

 * Tune performance and track capacity, utilization, and health trends over time.

Escalated support and troubleshooting

 * Take ownership of L3 incidents, drive them to resolution, and deliver root cause findings.
 * Diagnose iSCSI connectivity, host access, multipathing, and storage path performance issues.
 * Work across network, server, database, and application teams to resolve cross-functional problems.

Virtualization and backup

 * Partner with VMware teams on storage integration across vSphere, ESXi, and vCenter.
 * Support backup and restore operations, including Data Domain and associated backup platforms.
 * Contribute to disaster recovery and business continuity planning and testing for storage.

Operations

 * Plan and carry out upgrades, patches, and maintenance through the change management process.
 * Keep SOPs, configuration records, and technical documentation current.
 * Take part in an on-call rotation and respond to outages and critical incidents.
 * Provide coverage within a 24x5 support model.
