• Platforms & Scripting: Extremely strong hands-on experience with standalone and clustered UNIX (AIX/Linux) and Windows platforms, backed by strong scripting proficiency in TCL, Shell, Batch, PowerShell, Expect, or Bicep for API/CLI integrations.

• Design & Documentation: Expertise in creating comprehensive Low-Level Designs (LLD), High-Level Designs (HLD), and end-to-end data management workflows.

• Storage & Virtualization: Deep practical knowledge of storage replication technologies, virtualization solutions, and diverse DR failure scenarios.

Preferred Skillset

• Enablement & Training: Proven track record in developing and delivering operational/technical training content, live demos, and webinars for internal teams, channel partners, and enterprise customers.

• Executive Engagement & On-Site Delivery: Ability to participate in Executive Briefing Center sessions, acting as a technical evangelist, alongside hands-on experience leading on-site product implementations with customer and vendor teams.

• Continuous Learning: Proactive mindset geared toward continuous self-development and mastering cutting-edge developments in the Disaster Recovery and Data Protection landscape.
