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

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.
