Sr. SAN/Storage Backup Engineer

Location: Omaha, Nebraska (Onsite)

We are seeking a Senior Storage and Backup Engineer to serve as a hands-on technical lead within the infrastructure organization. This person will own day-to-day storage and backup engineering, help design and build enterprise solutions, lead modernization and migration efforts, and mentor other engineers on the team. This is not a people-management position or an architecture-only role. The ideal candidate is a senior individual contributor who can provide technical direction while remaining actively involved in implementation, troubleshooting, migrations, and operational support.

• Design, build, implement, and support enterprise storage and backup solutions.
• Serve as a hands-on technical lead and go-to resource for complex storage and backup issues.
• Establish engineering standards, technical best practices, and operational procedures.
• Lead storage migrations, platform consolidations, and modernization initiatives.
• Support the organization’s movement toward a more centralized enterprise object-storage strategy.
• Monitor storage capacity, availability, performance, resiliency, and recoverability.
• Troubleshoot complex storage, SAN, backup, replication, and recovery issues.
• Partner with infrastructure, application, database, cloud, and security teams.
• Mentor engineers and help strengthen the team’s technical capabilities.
• Evaluate new technologies and recommend improvements to the storage and backup environment.
• Participate in a low-volume on-call rotation.

• Approximately 8 or more years of experience in enterprise storage and backup engineering.
• Strong hands-on experience designing, implementing, and supporting enterprise storage solutions.
• Experience supporting SAN, NAS, object-storage, and backup technologies.
• Experience leading storage or backup migrations and platform consolidations.
• Strong understanding of storage architecture, SAN fabrics, data protection, replication, disaster recovery, and performance management.
• Demonstrated experience providing technical leadership or mentoring engineers as a senior individual contributor.
• Ability to diagnose complex infrastructure problems and remain involved through resolution.
• Ability to learn and adapt to unfamiliar storage and backup platforms.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Willingness to work primarily onsite and participate in a light on-call rotation.

• Experience with Hitachi enterprise storage platforms.
• Experience with Cisco Fibre Channel or comparable SAN fabric technologies.
• Experience with Commvault or a comparable enterprise backup platform.
• Experience with enterprise object-storage solutions.
• Experience supporting cyber-recovery, immutable backup, or advanced disaster-recovery capabilities.
• Experience with storage automation, scripting, or infrastructure as code.
• Experience leading cost-reduction or data-center modernization initiatives.

• They are still technically hands-on and do not operate only at the architecture level.
• They can lead through technical credibility rather than formal authority.
• They have completed large storage or backup migrations.
• They can mentor a developing engineering team.
• They understand storage and backup fundamentals well enough to transfer their knowledge across different vendor platforms.
