You will own the full lifecycle of our multi-vendor storage infrastructure while simultaneously building the automation, pipelines, and integrations that turn storage into a scalable, self-service platform.You will drive Infrastructure as Code adoption across various Storage platforms, and ensure our storage estate is tightly integrated with CMDB, observability, configuration management, and self-service tooling. What You'll Be Doing: * Lead end-to-end deployment of storage systems across NetApp, Pure Storage, Cloudian, and DDN, owning timelines, configuration quality, and delivery against project milestones. * Define and enforce configuration standards, baselines, and operational runbooks across all platforms; ensure every deployment is consistent, documented, and auditable. * Design and implement Infrastructure as Code frameworks (Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent) to automate provisioning, configuration management, and lifecycle operations across all storage platforms. * Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for storage configuration deployments - ensuring every change is reviewed, tested, and rolled out in a repeatable, validated manner. * Develop and own integrations between storage platforms and the broader infrastructure ecosystem: CMDB for asset discovery and inventory sync, observability stacks for metrics and alerting, configuration management tools for drift detection, and self-service portals that let engineering teams provision storage on demand. * Manage day-2 operations including capacity planning, firmware and software lifecycle management, performance tuning, and root cause analysis. * Partner with stakeholders like chip design teams, software engineering, research and application teams to deliver integrated, fit-for-purpose storage solutions for engineering workloads * Champion GitOps practices for storage - every configuration tracked, every change reviewed, no manual snowflakes.
