The engineer will work across heterogeneous storage platforms, including NetApp ONTAP, Pure Storage, and Ceph, and apply automation to storage engineering activities. This is a 100% remote, in-house Bright Vision Technologies SOW engagement for candidates in the continental United States. The stated salary range is $120,000–$170,000. The company welcomes applications from U.S. citizens, Green Card holders, EAD holders, and H-1B transfer candidates, but cannot sponsor new H-1B visa petitions.
Requirements
- 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 integrating storage with VMware and Kubernetes using 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.
Nice To Haves
- Vendor certifications such as NCDA, NCIE, or Pure Storage certifications.
- Experience with hybrid-cloud storage replication.
- Familiarity with software-defined storage platforms beyond Ceph.
- Experience with object storage at petabyte scale.

- Build storage solutions for VMware, Kubernetes using CSI drivers, and database workloads.
- Design and operate replication, snapshot, and backup strategies for critical data assets.
- Implement and operate cloud-tiered storage using 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 for capacity, performance, and health, enabling operators to identify capacity pressure, performance regressions, and failing components proactively.
- Lead storage upgrades, firmware lifecycle management, and security patching while planning to maintain availability for dependent workloads.
- Drive storage cost optimization through deduplication, compression, and tiering strategies.
- Troubleshoot complex storage issues across array, network, and host layers.
