Job responsibilities

Applies technical expertise and problem-solving methodologies to projects of moderate scope, primarily focused on enterprise NAS architecture, engineering standards, and strategic platform direction
Drives a workstream or project consisting of one or more infrastructure engineering technologies (e.g., NAS reference architectures, resiliency patterns, performance engineering standards, automation/guardrails)
Defines, documents, and governs design and configuration standards; in the initial ramp-up period, establishes and drives adoption of standardized NAS configuration and design patterns across the platform
Leads vendor/product evaluations (requirements definition, RFI/RFP support, technical deep dives, interoperability assessments, POCs, sizing, lifecycle planning) and delivers clear, evidence-based recommendations to inform roadmap decisions
Partners with compute, network, cloud, application, and cybersecurity teams to architect and implement changes required to resolve systemic issues and modernize technology processes
Improves platform performance and stability by enhancing observability, performance engineering practices, and preventative controls, with a near-term focus on reducing performance incidents through root-cause remediation and durable standards
Strongly considers upstream/downstream data and systems implications (e.g., User Authentication mechanisms (e.g. Active Directory, LDAP), encryption/key management dependencies, backup/restore, DR, network paths, application I/O profiles) and advises on mitigation actions
Supports SRE teams as needed through technical consultation and escalation support for complex incidents and problem management, driving long-term fixes over one-off remediation
