• Lead root cause analysis for critical production incidents and implement long-term architectural improvements to prevent recurrence.
• Evaluate emerging storage technologies and provide technical leadership for adoption, migration, and platform transformation initiatives.
• Partner with application, database, cloud, infrastructure, security, and platform engineering teams to design optimized storage solutions for modern workloads.
• Define disaster recovery, business continuity, backup, replication, cyber-resiliency, and data protection architectures for enterprise storage platforms.
• Drive storage efficiency through automation, intelligent tiering, deduplication, compression, lifecycle policies, and capacity optimization.

• Architect and develop self-service storage platforms that allow application and infrastructure teams to provision, manage, and consume storage through APIs and automated workflows.
• Build scalable automation frameworks for provisioning, lifecycle management, replication, snapshots, backup orchestration, compliance validation, and infrastructure remediation.
• Design and implement Infrastructure as Code solutions using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Argo CD, GitOps, Helm, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Develop Python-based automation services, SDK integrations, REST API solutions, and workflow orchestration capabilities that reduce manual work and improve platform reliability.
• Champion engineering practices that reduce operational toil and advance autonomous platform capabilities.
• Drive platform observability by designing telemetry, monitoring, alerting, logging, dashboarding, and operational analytics solutions.

Technical Leadership and Strategy

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers across storage, cloud, infrastructure, and platform engineering organizations.
• Lead architecture reviews, design governance, technology evaluations, and engineering best-practice adoption.
• Influence strategic infrastructure investments through data-driven recommendations, technical assessments, and business case development.

• Deep hands-on experience with enterprise storage platforms such as NetApp, Pure Storage, VAST Data, Cohesity, Dell PowerScale, or similar technologies.
• Strong architectural understanding of SAN, NAS, object storage, and distributed storage systems, including FC, iSCSI, NVMe-oF, NFS, SMB, and S3-based platforms.
• Proven experience supporting multi-petabyte storage environments with demanding availability, scalability, resiliency, and performance requirements.
• Strong expertise in storage architecture, performance engineering, workload characterization, capacity planning, and troubleshooting complex production infrastructure issues.
• Deep understanding of data protection technologies, including snapshots, replication, backup, disaster recovery, business continuity, and cyber-resiliency architectures.
• Hands-on experience deploying, operating, and optimizing Portworx or similar Kubernetes-native storage platforms in large-scale production environments.
• Strong understanding of Kubernetes storage architecture, including CSI, PV/PVC lifecycle management, Storage Classes, Volume Snapshots, StatefulSets, and automated storage provisioning workflows.
• Experience with container platforms and cloud-native application architectures running on Kubernetes.
• Expert-level Python programming skills, including experience developing automation frameworks, platform services, REST API integrations, SDK-based tooling, and workflow orchestration solutions.
• Strong experience implementing Infrastructure as Code and GitOps practices using Terraform, Ansible, Argo CD, Helm, CI/CD pipelines, and version-controlled deployments.
• Experience designing and operating observability solutions using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, logging platforms, and operational analytics frameworks.
• Knowledge of AI/ML, AIOps, or advanced analytics for anomaly detection, predictive operations, intelligent alerting, automated remediation, and operational optimization.
• Understanding of infrastructure cost optimization, storage consumption models, utilization analysis, capacity management, and cost-performance tradeoff optimization.
