• Experience with Net App technologies such as Snap Mirror, Snap Vault, Snapshot, Flex Vol, Flex Group, and Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs).
• Familiarity with enterprise SAN platforms such as Power Max or similar enterprise storage arrays.
• Hands-on experience with enterprise backup and disaster recovery solutions such as Veeam and Snap Vault.
• Strong background supporting on-premises storage infrastructure in physical and virtualized environments, with familiarity in hybrid cloud integration.
• Experience with automation tools such as Ansible, Python, Power Shell, and REST APIs to improve operational efficiency and scalability.
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills with the ability to resolve storage, performance, replication, and capacity-related issues.
• Effective in collaborating with both technical and non-technical teams and communicating complex technical concepts clearly.

Candidates must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position.

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience administering enterprise storage environments.

• Experience with Net App AFF, FAS, ASA, and other related platforms.
