About this role
Your Team
Responsibilities The Storage Engineer sits within the Technology & Data Services Infrastructure Engineering team. The team owns the design, delivery, and long-term integrity of enterprise storage platforms — NetApp ONTAP and Pure Storage — across multiple global datacenters, cloud environments, and regional offices. Working closely with compute, networking, and application teams, the team drives platform strategy, technology adoption, and engineering-led automation across the storage estate. Your Key Responsibilities Design and implement automation for storage provisioning, capacity management, and operational workflows using Python , Bash , and IaC tooling (Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent). Drive reduction of manual toil through scripted workflows and self-service enablement; own the automation backlog for the storage domain. Build REST API integrations against storage platforms (NetApp ONTAP, Pure Storage) and develop reporting tooling and scripted operational pipelines. Contribute to storage DR strategy implementations, platform upgrade workflows, and post-change validation — executed and validated largely through automation. Design and implement Kubernetes-attached storage via Astra Trident, including persistent volume strategy and protocol selection. Engage business and application stakeholders on capacity planning and platform roadmaps; produce engineering documentation, architecture decision records, and runbooks. Own RCA delivery for storage-related incidents and drive permanent fix implementation through safe change practices. Your skills and experience that will help you excel Core (essential): Strong proficiency in Python for infrastructure automation — REST API integrations against storage and network platforms (NetApp ONTAP, Pure Storage, Cisco MDS), reporting tooling, scripted operational workflows. Solid Linux systems skills — shell scripting, service management, troubleshooting in enterprise Linux environments (RHEL/OEL/Debian). Bash scripting for scheduled jobs, log parsing, and operational tooling. Comfortable operating across both Agile delivery and BAU contexts; familiar with ITIL practice areas and enterprise ITSM platforms (ServiceNow preferred). Strong communication skills, able to translate technical depth into stakeholder-facing outputs; experience producing architecture documentation and runbooks in a globally distributed environment. Nice to have (can be developed on the job): Familiarity with enterprise storage platforms such as NetApp ONTAP (C-Mode, SVM, SnapMirror) and/or Pure Storage (FlashArray, FlashBlade) — deep expertise is not required on day one; solid platform grounding will develop through hands-on work. Working knowledge of SAN protocols (iSCSI, FC, NFS/CIFS) and SAN fabric management ( Cisco MDS zoning and host masking). Exposure to Kubernetes storage concepts (Astra Trident, PVC/PV lifecycle). Experience with IaC tooling (Terraform, Ansible) in a GitOps model.
