• Support SAN and NAS environments, including zoning, masking, NFS, SMB/CIFS, and permissions management
• Assist with backup, recovery, replication, and disaster recovery initiatives
• Participate in storage upgrades, maintenance, and patching activities
• Work closely with infrastructure, networking, virtualization, research, and application teams
• Maintain system documentation, operational procedures, and storage inventories
• Coordinate with vendors on support cases and hardware lifecycle activities
• Participate in an on-call rotation after onboarding and ramp-up

What We're Looking For

• Strong hands-on Dell PowerScale experience
• 5 years of enterprise storage administration experience
• Experience supporting SAN and NAS environments
• Knowledge of storage concepts including block and file storage
• Experience with zoning, fabric management, masking, and troubleshooting
• Strong operational and incident response experience
• Comfort working independently and owning issues through resolution
• Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical teams

Nice to Have

• IBM Storage experience
• Pure Storage experience
• VAST Storage experience
• Cohesity backup experience
• Linux administration experience
• Disaster recovery, replication, and recovery testing experience
• Exposure to automation tools such as Ansible
