Lead Infrastructure Engineer - Storage

Salary: $61,000 - 101,000 per year Requirements:

• We expect formal training or certification in infrastructure engineering, alongside at least 5 years of practical experience.
• We need demonstrated use of enterprise-approved AI capabilities in infrastructure workflows, with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.
• We require the ability to assess AI-assisted recommendations carefully, escalate when needed, and ensure outcomes meet resiliency, security, and auditability standards.
• We look for strong storage fundamentals, including RAID or erasure coding, replication, snapshots, tiering or caching, IOPS and latency, multipathing, SAN/NAS, and object storage concepts.
• We want hands-on experience with at least one major storage platform or cloud storage service such as NetApp, Dell EMC PowerStore/Isilon, Pure, Hitachi, Ceph, or IBM.
• We require solid Linux knowledge, including system performance, basic networking, and kernel or storage stack concepts.
• We need strong scripting or programming skills in one or more of Python, Go, or Bash.
• We expect experience with observability tooling such as Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, Splunk, Datadog, or OpenTelemetry.
• We value proven incident management ability and confidence working in an on-call rotation.
• We look for practical AI and data skills for operations, including anomaly detection, forecasting, correlation, classification, feature extraction, evaluation, production tooling integration, and safe LLM use with human oversight.
• Preferred experience includes Kubernetes storage and stateful workload operations.
• Preferred experience includes Infrastructure as Code and configuration management tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Chef, or Puppet.
• Preferred experience includes telemetry and event pipeline tooling such as Kafka.
• Preferred experience includes ITSM or event management platforms such as ServiceNow.
• Preferred experience includes backup and disaster recovery strategy design, including RPO and RTO trade-offs.
• Preferred experience includes security controls for data platforms, such as KMS, HSM, secrets management, and key rotation.
• Preferred experience includes building controlled self-service platforms with guardrails to reduce toil at scale.

• We use enterprise-authorized AI capabilities to speed up infrastructure analysis and design documentation while validating outputs and handling operational data according to security requirements.
• We apply reuse-first, AI-assisted practices in delivery and automation to identify recurring issues, validate remediation options, and ensure changes remain traceable, auditable, resilient, and secure.
• We own and continuously improve SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, on-call readiness, and operational excellence for storage services.
• We lead incident response for storage outages and performance degradation, then drive root cause analysis and preventative actions.
• We create and maintain runbooks, escalation paths, and standardized operating procedures.
• We operate and enhance block, file, and object storage platforms across on-premises and cloud environments.
• We perform performance tuning, capacity planning, lifecycle management, and resiliency testing, including failover and disaster recovery validation.
• We partner with infrastructure, network, operating system, database, and application teams to meet workload requirements and reliability targets.
• We build automation for provisioning, patching, upgrades, replication, backup and restore, and compliance checks.
• We implement AI-driven observability and AIOps capabilities such as telemetry correlation, anomaly and regression detection, and LLM-assisted incident and runbook workflows with safe rollout and auditability.
