ABOUT THE ROLE
A leading enterprise infrastructure transformation programme is hiring a hands-on Storage & Infrastructure Architect to own the design, implementation, and migration of a multi-vendor storage and backup estate.

- Tune systems for high performance against business demand.
- Consolidate technologies in line with the architecture roadmap.
- Plan large-data migration strategy using native tools / Datadobi.
- Engage with Windows, Networks, Security, and Operations teams to build services and capabilities.
