• Administer multi-vendor SAN/NAS environments, including NetApp ONTAP clusters, as well as Dell PowerEdge servers, blade infrastructure, and Spectra Logic BlackPearl tape and archive systems.
• Automate provisioning with Ansible, maintain firmware and OS patching, and ensure infrastructure meets security and compliance requirements.
• Support ATO activities through technical documentation and security justifications while identifying, remediating, and documenting STIG findings for audits.

Requirements

• Active Top Secret Clearance with SCI eligibility.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field. Equivalent experience considered in lieu of a degree.
• Enterprise storage and infrastructure engineering experience in a production environment.
• Hands-on SAN, NAS, or object storage administration at enterprise scale.
• Linux (RHEL/CentOS/Rocky) and Windows Server administration.
• Storage protocols: iSCSI, NFS, SMB/CIFS, and S3.
• PowerShell and Bash scripting; familiarity with Ansible or Puppet.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with Dell EMC ECS, DataCore Swarm, VAST Data, or NetApp ONTAP.
• Elasticsearch/ELK cluster administration.
• Hyperconverged infrastructure (VxRail, VxFlex) and virtualization (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V).
• Spectra Logic tape and archive operations.
• STIG remediation and RMF/ATO support.
• Storage vendor management and procurement.
