• Design, implement, and administer enterprise storage platforms, including Dell PowerStore and Pure Storage arrays, ensuring capacity, performance, data protection, and high availability for critical workloads.

• Mentor junior team members.

• Solid experience managing hybrid infrastructure, with deep expertise in on-premise environments (virtualization/OpenStack, networking) and a strong understanding of core public cloud services (AWS/Azure/GCP) and containerized platforms (Kubernetes).

• Hands-on experience administering enterprise storage arrays, ideally including Dell PowerStore and Pure Storage FlashArray (provisioning, performance tuning, upgrades, and troubleshooting).

• A security-first mindset and experience designing, building, and operating secure, automated infrastructure.

• Strong networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, routing, firewalls), including public cloud equivalents.

You may also have:
