Job location: Hyderabad/Pune

Required skills: SAN/NAS Storage, Backup & Recovery, Shift Operations / Technical Escalation, Shell/Bash & Ansible Automation Linux Administration (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu),

Job Summary

We are seeking a skilled Systems Engineer – Storage/Backup & Recovery to join team. The role owns enterprise storage environments end-to-end – from proactive monitoring and automation through root cause analysis and continuous improvement – ensuring high availability, performance, and reliability of client systems. This is an operational engineering role, not a pure support function: the engineer is expected to reduce recurring issues through automation, drive standardization, and continuously improve operational practices. The candidate may act as a Shift Lead / senior operational point of contact during assigned shifts for complex Linux and Storage incidents, driving resolution and supporting critical production environments. The primary profile we are targeting is a strong, hands-on SAN/NAS/backup with solid automation/scripting ability and practical Linux Admin experience – not necessarily SME-level depth across every storage and backup platform.

Key Responsibilities

Storage Administration

- Manage and support enterprise SAN/NAS storage platforms with meaningful, hands-on experience – deep expertise across every storage vendor/product is not required.
- Provision storage, create and manage LUNs, storage pools, RAID groups, volumes, and snapshots.
- Monitor storage capacity, utilization, performance, and availability.
- Troubleshoot storage connectivity issues involving Fibre Channel (FC), iSCSI, multipathing, and zoning.
- Support storage migrations and expansion activities.

Backup & Recovery

- Administer enterprise backup solutions such as Veritas NetBackup, Commvault, Veeam, or similar, with practical hands-on experience on at least one major platform.
- Perform backup monitoring, restoration requests, disaster recovery validations,



and troubleshooting.
- Ensure compliance with backup policies and recovery objectives.

Automation & Scripting

- Drive automation as a core responsibility, not an optional add-on – with solid hands-on Shell/Bash scripting and Ansible for configuration management, patching, and repetitive operational tasks.
- Build and maintain Ansible playbooks/roles for provisioning, patching, hardening, and routine operational workflows.
- Python scripting is a desirable addition for extending automation and tooling capabilities.
- Apply an automation/AI mindset – proactively using modern AI-assisted tools for scripting, troubleshooting, log analysis, and documentation to improve speed and quality of resolution.
- Identify recurring issues and build automated, permanent fixes to reduce repeat incidents and manual effort.

Operational Engineering & Continuous Improvement

- Proactively monitor systems and storage to identify risks and degradation before they cause incidents.
- Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for critical incidents and drive permanent, automated fixes rather than workarounds.
- Track and reduce recurring issues through problem management and process improvement.
- Continuously improve monitoring, automation, and operational runbooks to raise efficiency and reliability.

Incident & Operations Support

- May act as Shift Lead / senior operational point of contact during assigned shifts for Linux/Storage operations.
- Lead complex incident triage, root cause analysis, and resolution activities.
- Coordinate with cross-functional teams, vendors, and customers during major incidents.
- Participate in on-call support and rotational shift schedules.
- Prepare incident reports, technical documentation, SOPs, and knowledge articles.

Required Skills

Storage

- Hands-on, practical experience with:
- SAN & NAS technologies
- Fibre Channel and iSCSI environments
- Storage provisioning and capacity management
- Exposure to one or more platforms such as EMC Dell, NetApp, Hitachi, IBM, or Pure Storage (broad multi-vendor SME depth not required)

Backup





- Practical experience with at least one enterprise backup tool:
- Veritas NetBackup
- Commvault
- Veeam

Backup Exec

Automation & Scripting

- Hands-on experience with:
- Shell/Bash scripting (required, hands-on)
- Ansible for configuration management and automation (required, hands-on)
- Git/version control for scripts and automation content
- Python scripting (desirable)
