Perform performance reviews and root-cause analysis on storage and infrastructure issues
Manage configuration using tools such as Puppet and Verdad
Collaborate regularly with developers, DBAs, network engineers, and EPMs to build new environments and support new product initiatives

Minimum Qualifications

Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, Go, Swift, or Java, or other object-oriented programming languages
Knowledge of networking fundamentals as they relate to storage and systems infrastructure
Familiarity with Oracle software stack and/or NoSQL databases
Experience with version control systems such as Git

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with configuration management tools such as Puppet
Ability to thrive in a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment with a sense of shared ownership
