What We'll Bring
We are looking for a Storage & Backup Engineer to design, operate, and continuously improve enterprise data protection and software-defined storage platforms. This role will focus on Commvault backup & recovery, scale-out file/object storage (Isilon/ECS/Pure FlashBlade), and IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) / ESS platforms, with strong emphasis on Linux, scripting, and automation.
What You'll Bring
Key Responsibilities
- Commvault – Backup, Recovery, and DR Engineering
- Administer and support enterprise Commvault environments (CommServe, MediaAgents, storage policies, scheduling, retention, reporting).
- Monitor backup jobs, troubleshoot failures, optimize performance, and ensure backup integrity through routine restore validations and test restores.
- Build and enhance backup strategies to meet RPO/RTO objectives, audit/compliance requirements, and business continuity goals.
- Drive operational excellence: capacity planning, usage analytics, patching, security hardening, and documentation of backup procedures/runbooks.
- Storage Platforms – Isilon / ECS / Pure FlashBlade (File & Object)
- Operate and support Dell EMC Isilon (OneFS) including node lifecycle activities, access controls, snapshots/replication, troubleshooting, and performance tuning.
- Support ECS object storage and its integration patterns (capacity management, tiering, troubleshooting; collaboration with app/platform teams).
- Administer and optimize Pure FlashBlade file/object storage environments, including availability, performance analysis, and operational best practices.
- IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) / ESS Engineering
- Administer IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) clusters and ESS systems: health monitoring, patching/upgrades, troubleshooting, and performance optimization.
- Support distributed storage operations including namespace, quotas, policies, replication/HA patterns, and operational governance.
- Linux + Scripting + Automation
- Build automation for backup/storage operations using Bash/Python, scheduling, reporting, configuration drift checks, and self-healing workflows. (Automation emphasis aligns with the SDS charter scope.)
- Implement repeatable operational tooling (runbooks, CI-style checks, infrastructure scripts) and integrate with ITSM/change workflows.
- Operations, Collaboration, and Governance
- Participate in on-call rotation, handle incidents, perform RCA, and implement preventive improvements.
- Work closely with platform, security, network, and application teams on migrations, upgrades, and stability initiatives (e.g., storage utilization management and platform lifecycle).
- Maintain high-quality documentation and contribute to knowledge base / standard operating procedures.
Impact You'll Make
Required Skills & Experience (Must-Have)
Technical (Primary)
- Commvault (v11+ preferred): administration, monitoring, troubleshooting, restores, reporting, retention, DR testing.
- Experience with at least two of the following storage technologies:
- Dell EMC Isilon (OneFS)
- Dell EMC ECS (object storage)
- Pure Storage FlashBlade
- IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) / ESS administration and operational troubleshooting.

- Ability to work across time zones and coordinate with global teams.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
- Cisco SAN (MDS / FC) experience: zoning, troubleshooting, upgrades
- Experience with storage migrations (NAS/object), performance analytics, and ITIL-aligned operations.
- Exposure to virtualization/cloud integrations (e.g., backing up virtual workloads; object storage targets).
Education
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering / Computer Science / IT (or equivalent practical experience)
Certifications (Optional but Beneficial)
- Commvault certification (Professional/Advanced)
- Dell Technologies (Isilon) certification
- IBM Spectrum Scale / ESS
