## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent experience.
 * 5+ years in systems/platform operations with a focus on storage (block/file/object), supporting production workloads.
 * Hands-on experience with large-scale, multiprotocol storage systems (SAN/NAS/NFS and S3-compatible object storage).
 * Working knowledge of VMware/Hyper-V/KVM and Kubernetes/container runtimes as consumers of storage services.
 * Scripting or IaC (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell, Bash) to automate repetitive storage tasks.
 * Solid Linux fundamentals and familiarity with networking basics (DNS, load balancing, TLS, IP/routing).
 * Comfort with 24×7 operations concepts and change/incident processes (runbooks, CAB, RCAs)., * Observability tooling (metrics/logs/traces), capacity/performance tuning, and cost/tiering practices for storage platforms.
 * Backup/DR execution (snapshots, replication, restore testing) and data lifecycle management.
 * Exposure to large-scale storage migrations and modernization initiatives.
 * Exposure to identity/RBAC and secrets management within infra platforms.
 * Experience contributing to standardization (e.g., modules, golden images, cluster profiles) under senior guidance.

## Description

* Provision & operate storage platforms across block/file/object storage - including large-scale, multiprotocol NFS and S3 object storage systems supporting origin and content delivery - following reference architectures and change procedures.
 * Automate common workflows (provisioning, configuration, compliance, backups) using IaC and scripting (e.g., Terraform/Ansible/PowerShell/Bash); maintain runbooks and SOPs.
 * Monitor & troubleshoot: build actionable alerts/dashboards, investigate storage performance and capacity issues, and execute remediation to keep SLOs green and support our goal of 5 9's availability.
 * Patch & secure platforms: execute patch plans, firmware updates, and vulnerability remediations in partnership with security; document and verify results.
 * Incident response: participate in the on-call rotation, restore service quickly, capture post-incident notes, and implement durable fixes per standards.
 * Lifecycle & hygiene: decommission legacy storage systems, right-size capacity, enforce backups/replication and data lifecycle/tiering policies, and keep inventories/documentation current.
 * Partnering: work with compute, network, identity, and product/SRE teams to ensure clean integrations and reliable change execution, including support for VMware, Kubernetes, and other distributed systems that depend on storage services.
 * Scope: Executes well defined designs; owns discrete components and tasks; raises risks early.
 * Craft: Delivers reliable, well-documented automation and changes; improves runbooks and Day 2 operations for storage services.
 * Collaboration: Communicates status clearly; seeks reviews; learns from P4/P5 mentors and applies feedback.
 * Reliability mindset: Favors automation, testing, and progressive rollouts; documents what you build so others can reuse.
