Storage Systems Engineer

(Multiple states)

Full Time

Experienced

Expedient has an immediate opening for an experienced Storage Systems Engineer on our Service Reliability team.   Previous experience working with enterprise data center storage hardware and storage software is a must. Additional experience with distributed file systems, networking and backup is also desirable. The successful candidate will be familiar with new and emerging technology and new platforms in the cloud storage discipline.

This is not a role that develops software. This is not a data engineer. This is a storage engineer that will ensure that Expedient cloud hosting, DR, backups and connectivity remain dependable by developing strategies to prevent failures and minimize and/or eliminate downtime. 

While very much focused on technical storage strategies, this is a highly collaborative position that works with other technical teams and clients; the ability to justify your thought processes with data in a professional, thoughtful manner is a requirement to success in this role.
