Job Description & How to Apply Below
We are seeking a Net App Storage Administrator to support and maintain enterprise storage infrastructure for a client engagement in New York City delivered through our implementation partner, Mphasis. The role is hands-on and operations-focused: day-to-day administration of Net App ONTAP systems, capacity and performance management, replication and backup operations, and support of storage provisioning for virtualized and database workloads.
This is a hybrid position — the selected candidate is expected onsite at the New York location approximately two to three days per week, with the remainder performed remotely. Participation in an on-call rotation and occasional after-hours maintenance windows is expected.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES- Administer and support Net App FAS/AFF storage systems running ONTAP (9.x), including cluster health monitoring, node maintenance, and firmware/ONTAP upgrades.
- Provision and manage SAN and NAS storage — LUNs, volumes, qtrees, aggregates, SVMs, CIFS/SMB shares, and NFS exports — for application, database, and virtualization teams.
- Configure and manage Snap Mirror and Snap Vault replication, Snapshot policies, Snap Restore, and Flex Clone to meet defined RPO/RTO and data-retention requirements.
- Monitor capacity, throughput, and latency using Active IQ Unified Manager and OnCommand tooling; produce trending and forecasting reports and recommend capacity expansions.
- Troubleshoot storage performance and connectivity issues across the stack — host multipathing, FC/iSCSI fabric, zoning, NFS/CIFS client behavior — and drive root cause analysis to closure.
- Support storage for VMware vSphere and database (Oracle/SQL Server) environments, including datastore provisioning, alignment, and coordination with the platform teams.
- Execute storage migrations, refreshes, and decommissioning activities with documented cutover and rollback plans.
- Implement and maintain storage security and access controls — role-based administration, export policies, share permissions, and encryption where applicable.
- Respond to incidents, service requests, and changes within defined SLAs using the client's ITSM platform (Service Now or equivalent); participate in change advisory reviews.
- Automate recurring administrative tasks using Power Shell, the ONTAP REST API, or Ansible, and maintain runbooks and as-built documentation.
- Participate in a 24x7 on-call rotation and support scheduled after-hours maintenance windows.
- 5–8 years of hands-on enterprise storage administration experience, with at least 4 years focused on Net App.
- Strong working knowledge of Net App ONTAP 9.x in clustered mode — SVMs, aggregates, Flex Vol, storage efficiency features (deduplication, compression, compaction).
- Practical experience with Snap Mirror, Snap Vault, Snapshot management, and Net App-based backup and recovery operations.
- Solid SAN and NAS fundamentals: FC and iSCSI protocols, zoning, multipathing, NFS and CIFS/SMB configuration and troubleshooting.
- Experience supporting storage for VMware vSphere and for enterprise database workloads.
- Working knowledge of Active IQ Unified Manager / OnCommand for monitoring, alerting, and capacity reporting.
- Scripting ability in Power Shell or Python for storage automation and reporting.
- Experience operating within ITIL-aligned incident, problem, and change management processes.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to work directly with client stakeholders in a hybrid onsite/remote model.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Net App certification — NCDA (Net App Certified Data Administrator, ONTAP) or NCIE.
- Exposure to Net App cloud and hybrid offerings — Cloud Volumes ONTAP, Azure Net App Files, or FSx for Net App ONTAP.
- Experience with Storage GRID or other object storage platforms (S3).
- Familiarity with Brocade or Cisco MDS fabric switch administration.
- Automation experience with Ansible or the ONTAP REST API.
- Prior experience in a large regulated enterprise environment (financial services, insurance, or healthcare).
- Experience working within a system-integrator or implementation-partner delivery model.
