Description
Hands‑on NetApp ONTAP engineer to own the storage layer for trading, market data, research, and core platforms. You’ll operate, and optimise FAS/AFF/C‑Series in primary and DR sites, ensuring sub‑millisecond latency, high IOPS, and zero‑downtime for trading‑critical workloads.

- Implement SnapMirror, SnapVault, SnapLock, snapshots, clones, and replication to meet RPO/RTO targets; own backup integration and DR testing.
- Automate provisioning, reporting, and ops tasks using PowerShell, Python, Ansible, or NetApp APIs.
- Monitor performance/capacity via OnCommand Unified Manager, Performance Manager, Insight, and custom dashboards; proactively resolve bottlenecks.
- Work with network, systems, SRE, and trading tech on end‑to‑end design, incidents, and change management in a 24/5 environment.
