- Monitor backup operations, troubleshoot failures, and drive performance/throughput improvements.
- Engineer and enhance backup/restore strategies to meet RPO/RTO, compliance, and cyber resilience requirements, including routine restore validations and DR test support.
- Implement operational governance (standard runbooks, KPIs, alerting, incident/problem/change alignment).
2) IBM Spectrum Scale – GPFS / ESS Operations & Engineering
- Support and maintain GPFS / ESS environments: health monitoring, capacity planning, performance tuning, patching support, and incident triage.
- Execute and improve operational procedures for scaling, upgrades, and resiliency across Spectrum Scale clusters.
- Collaborate with vendors/partners as needed to resolve complex issues and reduce operational risk through proactive management.
3) Linux Engineering + Scripting/Automation (Toil Reduction)
- Build automation for repeatable operations (provisioning, validation checks, reporting, backups, lifecycle tasks).
- Develop and maintain scripts and workflows (e.g., Bash/Python) and integrate with enterprise tooling for observability and reliability.
- Produce high-quality documentation, runbooks, and knowledge articles to enable consistent operations and cross-team execution.
4) Block Storage Operations (Recommended Skill Area) – Pure / Unity / PowerStore
- Provide engineering support and operational oversight for block storage platforms including Pure Storage, Dell EMC Unity, and Dell PowerStore (capacity, performance, incident response, lifecycle coordination).
- Support storage connectivity concepts (e.g., multipathing, iSCSI/FC fundamentals) and coordinate with network/compute teams for end-to-end issue resolution.
5) Service Delivery, Reliability, and Collaboration
- Participate in on-call rotations as required and drive improvements that reduce repeat incidents.
- Partner with application/platform teams to onboard workloads, define protection policies, and ensure recoverability.
- Ensure changes follow governance and operational readiness standards (validation plans, rollback, post-change verification).
Impact You'll Make:
Required Qualifications
- Strong hands-on experience with Commvault administration and troubleshooting in an enterprise environment.
- Working experience with IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) / ESS operations and support.
- Strong Linux administration skills and proficiency in scripting/automation (e.g., Bash and at least one higher-level scripting language).
- Proven ability to troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement durable fixes.
- Strong communication skills with ability to coordinate across global teams and document operational standards clearly.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
- Experience supporting block storage platforms: Pure Storage, Dell EMC Unity, Dell PowerStore. (For Costa Rica, this skill is recommended vs. mandatory.)
- Experience with ITSM processes (incident/problem/change) and operational governance for infrastructure platforms.
- Exposure to hybrid/cloud-integrated backup or storage designs.
Working Model / On-Call
- Participate in an on-call rotation and support planned maintenance windows as needed.
