This is a hands-on engineering position working with enterprise storage, virtualization, hyperconverged systems, and security-focused backup technologies. MANDATORY Requirements: • 4+ years in enterprise backup, DR, or storage engineering. • Hands-on experience with at least one modern backup platform (Rubrik, Cohesity, Commvault, Dell Data Domain/Networker, Veeam, etc.). • Working knowledge of VMware, Nutanix, Hyper-V, or hybrid-cloud infrastructure. • Experience implementing ransomware-resilient backup designs (immutable storage, vaulting, air-gap strategies). • Experience with DR/BCP platforms such as Zerto, SRM, or native cloud DR tools. • Strong understanding of storage architectures, replication, and data integrity . Certifications ( You must have ONE or more of the following certifications) • Veeam VMCE, Dell EMC, Commvault, Rubrik, or Cohesity certifications • VMware VCP or Nutanix NCP/NCM • Zerto Certified Professional (ZCP) • Security+ or equivalent security certification • ITIL Foundation Core Responsibilities Backup & Recovery Engineering • Deploy, configure, and optimize enterprise backup platforms • (e.g., Dell, Cohesity, Rubrik, Commvault, Veeam). • Implement retention policies, backup schedules, encryption, and SLA-based workflows. • Perform file-level, system-level, and application-level restores. • Troubleshoot backup failures, performance issues, and protection gaps. • Integrate backup systems with virtualized and cloud environments. Cyber Resilience & Ransomware Protection • Implement immutable storage, air-gapped recovery, and anomaly detection tools. • Configure cyber-vaulting workflows and secure data-ingestion pipelines. • Conduct ransomware simulation testing and recovery exercises. • Harden access controls, credentials, and audit logging for backup platforms. Disaster Recovery Engineering • Deploy and configure DR tools such as Zerto, Site Recovery Manager, or similar. • Set up continuous replication and validate failover/failback procedures. • Test DR runbooks, journal retention, replication health, and recovery objectives. • Support DR drills, documentation, and cross-team coordination. Infrastructure Integration • Work with VMware, Nutanix, or other hypervisors to ensure consistent backup/DR coverage. • Validate snapshots, replication, and integration across clusters and storage tiers. • Assist with storage optimization, security hardening, and monitoring. Documentation & Collaboration • Maintain engineering runbooks, SOPs, and knowledge-base documentation. • Provide input to architecture teams on backup/DR readiness and improvements. • Train internal teams on best practices for backup, recovery, and cyber resilience.
