Senior Storage Engineer

collective capabilities and supporting continuity of service.

Qualifications and Experience

The ideal candidate holds a degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field. Candidates with equivalent practical experience and a strong track record in infrastructure or operations environments will also be considered.

You should have at least 5 years of experience in a storage engineering, infrastructure operations, or related role, with demonstrable hands-on experience in enterprise storage platforms such as Hitachi, NetApp, Dell EMC, Pure Storage, HPE, or equivalent. Prior involvement in storage migration projects — including data migrations, re-platforming exercises, or storage consolidation efforts — is highly desirable. Familiarity with storage protocols and technologies such as SAN, NAS, iSCSI, NFS, and CIFS is expected.

Experience with enterprise backup platforms such as Veritas NetBackup, Commvault, Veeam, Dell EMC NetWorker, or equivalent is highly desirable. Candidates with hands-on experience in backup policy management, backup infrastructure migrations, and recovery validation exercises will be at a distinct advantage. Familiarity with backup concepts including deduplication, replication, snapshot management, and offsite or cloud-based backup targets would be beneficial.

Experience in preparing security baseline documentation, test case documentation, and supporting compliance or audit processes for infrastructure projects would be a strong advantage. Familiarity with security hardening standards and frameworks relevant to storage, backup, and infrastructure environments is similarly valued.

Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell is expected, as automation is a core part of this role. Experience applying AI or machine learning tools — for example, using large language models to assist with script generation, anomaly detection, log analysis, or operational run book automation — would be a distinct advantage. Familiarity with cloud storage and backup platforms (such as AWS S3, AWS Backup, or equivalent) and an understanding of how storage and backup workloads are managed across on-premises and cloud environments would also be beneficial. Experience working in an ITIL-aligned or similarly structured operational environment is a plus.

Beyond technical skills, we value candidates who communicate clearly, document their work diligently, and collaborate well across teams. You should be comfortable navigating ambiguity, managing competing priorities, and contributing to a team culture that takes operational excellence seriously
