Including the identification of the appropriate technologies and solutions to meet business, optimisation, and resourcing requirements.
- Incident Management: Monitoring of IT infrastructure and system performance to measure, identify, address, and resolve any potential issues, vulnerabilities, or outages. Use of data to drive down mean time to resolution.
- Automation: Development and implementation of automated tasks and processes to improve efficiency and reduce manual intervention, utilising software scripting/coding disciplines.
- Security: Implementation of a secure configuration and measures to protect infrastructure against cyber-attacks, vulnerabilities, and other security threats, including protection of hardware, software, and data from unauthorised access.

What the employer is looking for
- Demonstrated expertise in Block Storage technologies (SAN, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, multipathing, zoning) with the ability to troubleshoot performance, connectivity, and availability issues end-to-end.
- Strong hands-on experience with File Storage platforms (NAS protocols such as NFS/SMB, permissions, snapshots, replication, scalability) and proven ability to optimize performance and resilience.
- Proven capability in Enterprise Backup and Recovery engineering, including backup policy design, retention, restore validation, disaster recovery readiness, and operational governance for mission-critical workloads.
- Solid experience applying SRE principles such as error budgets, SLO/SLI definition, toil reduction, automation-first operations, and post-incident learning to drive measurable reliability improvements.
- Strong observability vision and execution, including defining metrics/logs/traces for storage and backup services, building dashboards, alerting strategies, and using telemetry to prevent incidents before they impact customers.

- Minimum Graduation degree is mandatory for the role.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience automating storage and backup operations using Python/PowerShell, API integrations, or infrastructure-as-code approaches to reduce manual effort and improve consistency.
- Working knowledge of cloud storage and backup concepts (hybrid architectures, object storage, cloud backup integrations, or cloud-native resilience patterns) and how they intersect with enterprise storage.
- Familiarity with ITIL / service management practices including incident, problem, change management, and operational runbooks, with the ability to improve process maturity without creating bureaucracy.
- Experience with security and compliance controls for data protection, including encryption, immutability, ransomware recovery practices, and least-privilege access patterns for storage systems.
