Senior Storage Administrator

About the role

This role is being added to help fill a significant gap on the storage team, so the manager is looking for someone who can come in and contribute quickly, particularly with Dell PowerScale. If you've been the person people call when storage issues get difficult, this is the kind of role that's worth a closer look.

The team supports a mix of modern storage technologies and is involved in several upcoming initiatives, including disaster recovery and replication projects.
