Software Engineer
Storage Engineer role focused on designing, deploying, and maintaining scalable storage solutions using NetApp, Pure Storage, and Ceph technologies to support secure, high-performance applications in a forward‑thinking software development environment.
About the role
Storage Engineer
- Design and operate enterprise storage platforms across NetApp ONTAP, Pure Storage FlashArray/FlashBlade, and Ceph.
- Implement and manage SAN, NAS, and object storage across data center and cloud environments.
- Build storage solutions for VMware, Kubernetes (CSI drivers), and database workloads.
- Design and operate replication, snapshot, and backup strategies for critical data assets.
- Implement and operate cloud-tiered storage with FabricPool, CloudVolumes, or equivalent.
- Build storage automation using Ansible, Terraform, REST APIs, and platform-native automation.
- Operate Ceph clusters including OSD lifecycle, CRUSH maps, RGW, RBD, and CephFS.
- Design and operate storage performance management for high-throughput and latency-sensitive workloads.
- Implement data protection strategies including ransomware protection and immutable snapshots.
- Build storage observability across capacity, performance, and health dimensions, surfacing the signals operators need to spot capacity pressure, performance regressions, and failing components before users feel the impact.
- Lead storage upgrades, firmware lifecycle management, and security patching across the storage estate, planning each campaign to maintain availability for the workloads dependent on the platform.
- Drive storage cost optimization including deduplication, compression, and tiering strategies.
- Troubleshoot complex storage issues spanning array, network, and host layers.
- Stay current with storage industry developments and emerging platforms, regularly review release notes and community discussions, and translate noteworthy advances into concrete recommendations and adoption proposals for the team.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
- Five or more years of enterprise storage engineering experience.
- Deep expertise in NetApp ONTAP or Pure Storage FlashArray/FlashBlade.
- Hands-on experience with Ceph at production scale.
- Strong understanding of SAN, NAS, and object storage protocols.
- Experience with storage integration for VMware and Kubernetes (CSI).
- Strong scripting and automation skills using Ansible, Terraform, or REST APIs.
- Strong understanding of storage performance, capacity planning, and cost optimization.
- Strong troubleshooting skills across storage, network, and host layers.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
- Vendor certifications (NCDA, NCIE, Pure Storage certifications).
- Experience with hybrid-cloud storage replication.
- Familiarity with software-defined storage platforms beyond Ceph.
- Experience with object storage at petabyte scale.
- Exposure to AI/ML workloads with extreme I/O requirements.
