About this role
Bright Vision Technologies is a forward-thinking software development company dedicated to building innovative solutions that help businesses automate and optimize their operations. They are seeking a skilled Storage Engineer to design, deploy, and operate the storage foundation that supports various workloads, ensuring performance, data protection, and cost optimization.
Responsibilities:
- Design and operate enterprise storage platforms across NetApp ONTAP, Pure Storage FlashArray/FlashBlade, and Ceph
- Implement and manage SAN, NAS, and object storage across data center and cloud environments
- Build storage solutions for VMware, Kubernetes (CSI drivers), and database workloads
- Design and operate replication, snapshot, and backup strategies for critical data assets
- Implement and operate cloud-tiered storage with FabricPool, CloudVolumes, or equivalent
- Build storage automation using Ansible, Terraform, REST APIs, and platform-native automation
- Operate Ceph clusters including OSD lifecycle, CRUSH maps, RGW, RBD, and CephFS
- Design and operate storage performance management for high-throughput and latency-sensitive workloads
- Implement data protection strategies including ransomware protection and immutable snapshots
- Build storage observability across capacity, performance, and health dimensions, surfacing the signals operators need to spot capacity pressure, performance regressions, and failing components before users feel the impact
- Lead storage upgrades, firmware lifecycle management, and security patching across the storage estate, planning each campaign to maintain availability for the workloads dependent on the platform
- Drive storage cost optimization including deduplication, compression, and tiering strategies
- Troubleshoot complex storage issues spanning array, network, and host layers
- Stay current with storage industry developments and emerging platforms, regularly review release notes and community discussions, and translate noteworthy advances into concrete recommendations and adoption proposals for the team
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field
- Five or more years of enterprise storage engineering experience
- Deep expertise in NetApp ONTAP or Pure Storage FlashArray/FlashBlade
- Hands-on experience with Ceph at production scale
- Strong understanding of SAN, NAS, and object storage protocols
- Experience with storage integration for VMware and Kubernetes (CSI)
- Strong scripting and automation skills using Ansible, Terraform, or REST APIs
- Strong understanding of storage performance, capacity planning, and cost optimization
- Strong troubleshooting skills across storage, network, and host layers
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Vendor certifications (NCDA, NCIE, Pure Storage certifications)
- Experience with hybrid-cloud storage replication
- Familiarity with software-defined storage platforms beyond Ceph
- Experience with object storage at petabyte scale
- Exposure to AI/ML workloads with extreme I/O requirements
