Description

Position Overview MetroSys is seeking a highly experienced Storage Solutions Architect to lead enterprise-scale data migration and storage modernization initiatives. This role is heavily client-facing and focused on designing, leading, and executing complex migration programs across diverse storage environments, with a strong emphasis on NAS and unstructured data platforms. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker and technical leader who can engage at the executive and engineering levels, architect end-to-end solutions, and successfully deliver large-scale migration projects with minimal risk and disruption. Key Responsibilities Lead large-scale storage migration programs from discovery through design, execution, and final validation, ensuring alignment with business and technical objectives. Serve as the primary client-facing architect, providing strategic guidance, setting expectations, and building trust with stakeholders across IT leadership and engineering teams. Design and implement NAS-centric migration strategies across platforms such as NetApp, Dell EMC Isilon/PowerScale, Unity, PowerStore, and similar solutions. Assess existing storage environments (NAS, SAN, hybrid) and develop target-state architectures, migration roadmaps, and best practices. Drive end-to-end migration execution, including data movement planning, cutover strategies, performance tuning, and risk mitigation. Architect solutions for file services, multiprotocol access (NFS/SMB), and large unstructured data environments. Provide leadership and oversight for cross-functional teams, including engineers, project managers, and customer personnel. Ensure data integrity, security, and performance throughout migration activities. Act as a technical escalation point for complex multi-vendor storage environments. Develop and deliver high-quality documentation, including architecture diagrams, migration runbooks, and executive summaries. Present solutions, progress updates, and outcomes to client stakeholders and leadership teams. Required Qualifications 7+ years of enterprise storage engineering, consulting, or architecture experience. Proven experience leading large-scale storage or data migration projects in enterprise environments. Strong expertise in NAS technologies (NetApp, Dell EMC Isilon/PowerScale, Unity, PowerStore, etc.). Deep understanding of file protocols (NFS, SMB/CIFS) and unstructured data management. Solid knowledge of SAN environments, including zoning, multipathing, and host/storage integration. Experience designing and implementing multi-vendor storage solutions. Demonstrated ability to operate in client-facing, advisory, or consulting roles. Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences. Preferred Skills Experience with enterprise NAS migrations and consolidations (petabyte-scale environments a plus). Familiarity with cloud-integrated storage and hybrid architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP). Knowledge of data protection and replication technologies (SnapMirror, SyncIQ, etc.). Experience with VMware and virtualized storage environments. Background in professional services or consulting organizations. Familiarity with networking concepts related to storage (L2/L3, DNS, AD integration). What Success Looks Like Successfully delivering complex, high-visibility migration projects on time and with minimal disruption. Acting as a trusted advisor to clients on storage strategy and modernization. Driving standardization, scalability, and performance improvements across customer environments. Leading engagements that result in long-term client relationships and follow-on opportunities.
