Position Overview
MetroSys is seeking a highly experienced Storage Solutions Architect to lead enterprise-scale data migration and storage modernization initiatives. This role is heavily client-facing and focused on designing, leading, and executing complex migration programs across diverse storage environments, with a strong emphasis on NAS and unstructured data platforms.
The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker and technical leader who can engage at the executive and engineering levels, architect end-to-end solutions, and successfully deliver large-scale migration projects with minimal risk and disruption.Key Responsibilities
  • Lead large-scale storage migration programs from discovery through design, execution, and final validation, ensuring alignment with business and technical objectives.
  • Serve as the primary client-facing architect, providing strategic guidance, setting expectations, and building trust with stakeholders across IT leadership and engineering teams.
  • Design and implement NAS-centric migration strategies across platforms such as NetApp, Dell EMC Isilon/PowerScale, Unity, PowerStore, and similar solutions.
  • Assess existing storage environments (NAS, SAN, hybrid) and develop target-state architectures, migration roadmaps, and best practices.
  • Drive end-to-end migration execution, including data movement planning, cutover strategies, performance tuning, and risk mitigation.
  • Architect solutions for file services, multiprotocol access (NFS/SMB), and large unstructured data environments.
  • Provide leadership and oversight for cross-functional teams, including engineers, project managers, and customer personnel.
  • Ensure data integrity, security, and performance throughout migration activities.
  • Act as a technical escalation point for complex multi-vendor storage environments.
  • Develop and deliver high-quality documentation, including architecture diagrams, migration runbooks, and executive summaries.
  • Present solutions, progress updates, and outcomes to client stakeholders and leadership teams.
Required Qualifications
  • 7+ years of enterprise storage engineering, consulting, or architecture experience.
  • Proven experience leading large-scale storage or data migration projects in enterprise environments.
  • Strong expertise in NAS technologies (NetApp, Dell EMC Isilon/PowerScale, Unity, PowerStore, etc.).
  • Deep understanding of file protocols (NFS, SMB/CIFS) and unstructured data management.
  • Solid knowledge of SAN environments, including zoning, multipathing, and host/storage integration.
  • Experience designing and implementing multi-vendor storage solutions.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate in client-facing, advisory, or consulting roles.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Preferred Skills
  • Experience with enterprise NAS migrations and consolidations (petabyte-scale environments a plus).
  • Familiarity with cloud-integrated storage and hybrid architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Knowledge of data protection and replication technologies (SnapMirror, SyncIQ, etc.).
  • Experience with VMware and virtualized storage environments.
  • Background in professional services or consulting organizations.
  • Familiarity with networking concepts related to storage (L2/L3, DNS, AD integration).
What Success Looks Like
  • Successfully delivering complex, high-visibility migration projects on time and with minimal disruption.
  • Acting as a trusted advisor to clients on storage strategy and modernization.
  • Driving standardization, scalability, and performance improvements across customer environments.
  • Leading engagements that result in long-term client relationships and follow-on opportunities.
