Staff Engineer- Storage Service Engineering

You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining high-performance storage systems using DDN (DataDirect Networks) technologies. Your role will involve developing and optimizing storage architectures to support large-scale, high-availability environments. Additionally, you will manage and monitor storage infrastructure to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Automation scripts for storage provisioning and management will be implemented and maintained by you. You will contribute to the design, implementation, and maintenance of large-scale storage clusters, including monitoring, logging, and alerting. Analyzing and optimizing storage performance, identifying and resolving bottlenecks, and implementing best practices for storage resource utilization and efficiency will be key aspects of your role. Collaboration with other engineering teams to understand and meet their storage requirements and working with hardware vendors to evaluate and integrate new storage technologies will also be part of your responsibilities. Ensuring that storage infrastructure complies with security policies and industry standards, as well as implementing and maintaining security measures to protect storage resources and data, will be crucial. You will provide support for storage-related issues, including debugging and resolving hardware and software problems, and develop and maintain documentation for troubleshooting procedures and best practices. It will be essential to stay updated with the latest advancements in storage technologies and integrate them into the infrastructure. Continuous improvement of the reliability, scalability, and performance of the storage infrastructure will be a key focus. Qualifications required for this role include a Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, along with 8+ years of experience managing physical data center storage systems. Proven experience in managing and optimizing DDN storage systems or related technologies, such as Lustre, is necessary. Experience with high-performance storage and large-scale environments is also preferred. Technical skills needed for this role include proficiency in storage protocols and technologies (e.g., NFS, SMB, iSCSI, FC, Block, S3), experience with storage automation tools and scripting languages (e.g., Python, Ansible), familiarity with DDN storage hardware and software solutions, and knowledge of storage monitoring and management tools. Soft skills required include strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, excellent communication and collaboration skills, and the ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.,
