Join NTT DATA as a Systems Integration Specialist Advisor and drive innovation in our Storage Engineering team. This senior/lead role focuses on enterprise storage, data protection, and automation to enhance patch deployment reliability and performance. You will be instrumental in shaping our automation strategy and ensuring the seamless operation of critical storage systems.

We are seeking passionate individuals ready to grow with a forward-thinking organization committed to client success and positive societal impact. Become part of a global leader in AI and digital infrastructure, dedicated to responsible innovation and a sustainable digital future.

Lead the development and implementation of automation frameworks using Python and Playwright/Selenium to validate storage and data workflows. Design and execute comprehensive validation strategies for high-velocity patch distribution, storage performance during patching (IOPS, throughput, latency), and API integrations for patch orchestration. Define and execute validation across PowerMax/PowerFlex, NetApp FAS, StorageGRID, and Cohesity platforms. Validate data protection, replication, and disaster recovery capabilities for storage systems supporting accelerated patching. Build reusable automation frameworks and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation. Utilize Terraform for Infrastructure as Code to provision and validate storage environments optimized for rapid patching. Drive testing for data integrity, consistency of patch artifacts, and high-volume data movement across environments. Lead deep troubleshooting and root cause analysis for storage and patch deployment workflows.

A Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience is required, along with a minimum of 5 years in storage, automation, or infrastructure engineering. Proficiency in Python and automation is essential, alongside a strong understanding of block, file, and object storage, and data protection concepts. Minimum qualifications include 5+ years of experience with enterprise storage platforms such as Cohesity, PowerMax/PowerFlex, NetApp, and StorageGRID. Demonstrable experience leading automation and validation for distributed infrastructure systems and patch deployment processes is crucial. Expertise in high-volume data delivery, backup/restore, replication, DR at scale, data integrity, large artifact handling, Terraform, CI/CD integration, and advanced troubleshooting across storage, compute, and distributed systems is expected. Desired qualifications include experience with accelerated patching initiatives, multi-cloud storage architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP), Kubernetes/CSI storage integrations, performance benchmarking, and observability tools.
