About The Position

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Storage Engineer to join our team. This role involves designing, implementing, and managing complex storage solutions, including file and block storage, SAN infrastructures, and replication technologies. You will be responsible for leading troubleshooting efforts, planning and executing storage migrations, and acting as a technical reference point for storage-related topics. Additionally, you will mentor junior team members, collaborate with other infrastructure teams and vendors, and produce technical documentation. A key aspect of this role is gathering and understanding customer requirements, guiding them in architectural choices, and translating business needs into technical storage architectures. You will advise customers on best practices, design trade-offs, and risk mitigation, and support them during design reviews and technical discussions. Collaboration with internal teams to ensure feasibility, scalability, and supportability of proposed architectures is crucial. You will also provide technical leadership during implementation and delivery phases.
