We are seeking a hands‑on Lead Technical Consultant (Storage/Backup/Cloud Architect) to own the design, implementation, and lifecycle management of enterprise storage, backup, and recovery platforms with a focus on Net App ONTAP (including Snap Center and advanced replication), Commvault (including Metallic 365, Air Gap Protect, and Clean Room Recovery), VMware (on‑prem), and Microsoft Azure. You will serve as the technical authority for architecture decisions, lead cross‑functional delivery, mentor engineers and partners, and ensure our data protection posture meets business RTO/RPO objectives and compliance requirements.

• Architect and administer Net App Storage Systems across NFS/SMB/iSCSI/FC, including capacity planning, performance tuning, and multiprotocol security.
• Design and operate Net App Snap Center for application‑consistent protection (e.g., SQL, Oracle, VMware), including policy creation, scheduling, retention, and plug‑in lifecycle management.
• Implement and support synchronous and asynchronous replication strategies (Snap Mirror/Snap Vault), including Snap Mirror Active Sync (SM-BC) for zero‑RPO workloads and metro‑level HA; define inter cluster peering, throttle/QoS, and failover runbooks.
• Lead remediation and upgrades (ONTAP releases, firmware), risk assessments, and DR exercises; maintain detailed diagrams and SOPs.

• Own the design, deployment, and day‑to‑day administration of the Commvault platform, including storage policies, dedupe, indexing, encryption, immutability, air‑gapped copies, and multi‑tier retention.
• Configure Metallic 365 for Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, SharePoint, One Drive, Teams), including role‑based access, legal hold, and granular restore workflows.
• Engineer robust backup solutions for on‑prem VMware (VADP‑based) and file servers, including proxy sizing, CBT optimization, application‑aware backups, and instant recovery.
• Implement Commvault Air Gap Protect for tamper‑resistant, isolated copy workflows and Commvault Clean Room Recovery to support malware‑free recovery validation, orchestration, and controlled reintegration.
• Establish monitoring/alerting, success SLAs, compliance reporting, and continuous improvement cadences.

• Design and operate VMware vSphere infrastructure leveraged by Net App (FC/iSCSI data stores), including HA/DRS, lifecycle management, and performance troubleshooting.
• Integrate backup and replication with Azure (IaaS), leveraging storage immutability, cross‑region strategies, and cost‑optimized tiers; guide adoption of cloud‑adjacent storage patterns (e.g., Azure Net App Files when appropriate).
• Support hybrid DR patterns (on‑prem ↔ Azure), test plans, and failover/fallback runbooks.

• Lead discovery workshops, produce architecture proposals, and translate business outcomes into technical designs, effort plans, and success criteria.
• Direct day‑to‑day delivery (internal teams and partners), remove blockers,…
