About the role

Lead strategy, architecture, and delivery of enterprise storage and data protection platforms across on-premises and cloud environments, with a focus on EDA/workloads, performance, security, cost optimization, and operational excellence. Manage both onshore and offshore engineering teams and drive AI-scale initiatives.

Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve the storage platform roadmap and reference architectures across file, block, object storage, and data protection, balancing EDA performance requirements with enterprise resilience, compliance, and cost goals across on-premises and cloud environments.
  • Lead storage design reviews for EDA workflows, including metadata-intensive and high-IOPS/low-latency build, test, simulation, and regression workloads, and design solutions supporting AI workloads, including >5 TB/s training throughput.
  • Establish standard patterns for tiering, archiving, retention, immutability (WORM), and disaster recovery, including RPO/RTO, replication, and failover.
  • Ensure storage segmentation and isolation align with performance and security requirements, and align all architectures with security, encryption, RBAC, audit logging, and data governance standards.
  • Own end-to-end storage and backup service delivery, including availability, performance, capacity, recoverability, and user experience; define and track SLAs/SLOs for latency, throughput, backup success, restore times, and replication health.
  • Lead major incident management, root-cause analysis, and corrective and preventive actions; develop and maintain runbooks, playbooks, and operational procedures with continuous-improvement loops.
  • Drive storage observability, monitoring, and performance optimization, and integrate storage platforms with enterprise tooling, including ServiceNow, CMDB, and observability platforms.
  • Lead automation initiatives using AI tools, Infrastructure as Code, and scripting, including Ansible, Terraform, Python, and PowerShell; enable automation across provisioning, quotas, snapshots, replication, and policy enforcement while promoting self-service models, standardized templates, and governance guardrails.
  • Own capacity planning, forecasting, cloud FinOps alignment, and TCO optimization; manage vendor relationships, contracts, renewals, RFPs, technology evaluations, and lifecycle management, including upgrades, refreshes, and decommissioning.
  • Manage and mentor onshore and offshore engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, and succession planning; foster a culture of reliability, automation, documentation, and partnership; act as the storage SME across Engineering, IT, InfoSec, Compliance, and Data teams; partner with application owners and communicate technical strategy, risks, and outcomes to executive leadership.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
