You will bridge the gap between physical hardware and modern cloudānative operations, applying software engineering principles to ensure our systems are scalable, secure, and predictable across all platforms.
Responsibilities Hybrid Platform Standardization : Audit, harden, and standardize Unix (Solaris/AIX) and Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu) environments across both GCP Compute Engine and physical bareāmetal servers. Storage Engineering (Specialization) : Architect and manage enterpriseāgrade SAN/NAS environments alongside GCP Cloud Storage/Persistent Disk.

Incident Response & PostāMortems : Participate in a sustainable onācall rotation. Lead blameless postāmortems for incidents involving crossāplatform dependencies to ensure we "fix the system, not the person."

Infrastructure as Code : Proven ability to manage complex environments using Terraform and Ansible.
Storage Protocols : Proficiency in Fiber Channel, iSCSI, and NFS. Experience with enterprise arrays (NetApp, Dell/EMC, or Pure Storage) is highly preferred. Software Engineering : Strong scripting ability in Python or Go to build internal tools and automation.
