Infrastructure Engineer - Storage & Backup (2 Years Contract)

Summary

We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented ICT Infrastructure Engineer to join the Prod Ops - Storage team, with a focus on storage and backup systems. In this role, you will play a key part in supporting the planning, implementation, and ongoing operations of storage and backup infrastructure — from new storage deployments and migrations to day-to-day operational support — while actively contributing to automation and process improvement initiatives.

This is a hands-on role suited for someone who thrives in a structured operational environment, takes ownership of their work, and is keen to make a tangible impact on the reliability, performance, and efficiency of enterprise storage and backup systems.

Responsibilities

Support the planning, design, and implementation of storage and backup infrastructure projects, including new deployments, capacity expansions, storage migrations, infrastructure modernization, and re-platforming initiatives.

Support storage and data migration projects, including lift-and-shift activities, onboarding of new platforms, and decommissioning of legacy storage systems, ensuring data integrity, security, and minimal disruption to business operations.

Design, configure, and manage enterprise backup infrastructure, including backup policies, schedules, retention settings, and backup jobs across enterprise backup platforms.

Perform and support backup restoration, disaster recovery, and recovery testing, ensuring recovery objectives are consistently met and data can be restored reliably within organizational and regulatory requirements.

Support the migration and re-platforming of backup workloads, including transitions from legacy backup solutions to modern platforms while maintaining data protection and service continuity.

Ensure storage and backup implementations comply with security, compliance, and audit requirements, including developing security baselines, hardening configurations, test cases, and implementation documentation.

Conduct and document functional, performance, security, and operational testing, ensuring test results are properly recorded and signed off prior to production implementation.

Provide day-to-day operational support for storage and backup environments, including capacity and performance monitoring, incident resolution, troubleshooting, maintenance, and health checks.

Identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency through automation, scripting, and AI-assisted tools, reducing manual effort and improving reliability and operational visibility.

Work closely with server, network, database, application, security, and other infrastructure teams to deliver projects while maintaining operational stability and service continuity.

Develop and maintain technical documentation, operational procedures, knowledge bases, and project documentation to support knowledge sharing and continuity of operations.

Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related discipline, with at least 5 years of relevant experience in storage engineering, infrastructure operations, or a similar role.

Hands-on experience with enterprise storage platforms such as Hitachi, NetApp, Dell EMC, Pure Storage, HPE, or equivalent.

Strong knowledge of SAN, NAS, iSCSI, NFS, and CIFS/SMB, with experience supporting enterprise storage environments.

Proven experience in storage migration, re-platforming, data migration, or storage consolidation projects.

Hands-on experience with enterprise backup solutions such as Veritas NetBackup, Commvault, Veeam, Dell EMC NetWorker, or equivalent, including backup policy management and recovery validation.

Experience supporting backup migrations, disaster recovery, and restoration testing, with an understanding of RTO and RPO requirements.

Proficiency in Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar scripting languages, with experience in infrastructure automation and operational improvement.

Familiarity with security hardening, security baselines, test documentation, and infrastructure compliance/audit requirements.

Experience with cloud storage and backup technologies, such as AWS S3, AWS Backup, or equivalent, is an advantage.

Strong communication, documentation, troubleshooting, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate across infrastructure, security, application, and operations teams.

Experience with AI-assisted tools for automation, scripting, log analysis, anomaly detection, or operational runbook development.

Experience working in an ITIL-aligned or structured IT operations environment.
