About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Design and evolve storage architectures supporting Kubernetes (block, file, object storage), AI/ML and high-performance compute workloads
- Evaluate and select storage technologies based on performance (IOPS, throughput, latency), scalability and fault tolerance, operational complexity and maintainability
- Define storage standards, best practices, and reference architectures
- Design for resilience over traditional HA, including failure-domain awareness
- Own production storage platforms, including Ceph (RBD, CephFS, RGW), High-performance NAS (Weka, VAST, or similar)
- Lead lifecycle operations - Cluster design and deployment, expansion and scaling, upgrades and migrations
- Perform and guide capacity planning, performance tuning, failure analysis
- Analyze storage performance across IOPS, throughput, latency, and tail latency
- Identify and resolve bottlenecks across disk subsystems, network paths (including RDMA), client access patterns
- Lead root cause analysis for storage-related incidents
- Ensure storage platforms meet the demands of GPU and Kubernetes workloads
- Define and implement Kubernetes storage patterns - CSI drivers, StorageClasses, persistent storage design
- Troubleshoot complex Kubernetes storage issues involving stateful workloads, provisioning failures, performance anomalies
- Partner with platform teams to align storage with workload requirements
- Design and implement automation for storage deployment and configuration, cluster lifecycle management
- Leverage tools such as Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes manifests / Helm
- Integrate storage platforms into observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.)
- Serve as the technical authority for storage across the organization
- Mentor engineers on storage systems, performance, and troubleshooting
- Establish operational standards and best practices
- Drive continuous improvement of storage reliability and performance
