QIT Software is seeking a senior storage backup and restore engineer/architect whose focus will be on a deep dive into the current technical components and process, procedures, documentation/ runbooks, of existing backup and recovery environment. The deliverables will be a detailed document of the analysis of the current practices and recommendations on to-be based on gaps between business requirements and technical implementations as well as a detailed architecture/solution for the next 1-5 years. The solution may include a significant overhaul in backup and restore technology. There will not be a significant change in primary storage.

This individual will work closely with key customer personal including the director of business continuity, backup and restore team and business units, to help drive solution design for backup/recovery services on prem, as well as continuous improvement and lifecycle strategy.

A successful candidate will be a self-driven individual with a solid understanding of enterprise backup and recovery solutions, enterprise storage, automation tools, scripting skills, and strong communication skills.

Additionally, the candidate will do a deep dive and recommendation to:
Client is currently backing up physical systems (servers and appliances like Exadata), VMs and NAS (Isilon), however platforms such as Nasuni are not part of the Veritas platform as we leverage Snapshots as well as S3 (on Hitachi HCP) replication for DR recoverability.

1. Identify areas where we can improve from a process or policy standpoint

2. Identify areas where we can revisit HOW we are backing up (ie.. should we use veritas to backup Isilon, or would it be more cost effective to leverage snapshotting and replication) to take advantage of technology we have readily available to possibly provide cost savings

3. Allow for the implementation of some S3 Object Locking/Immutability for backups as an additional layer of Cyber Security.
