Project overview

#StormYourCareer Join STORM GROUP and grow with us!

Design, automate, and guarantee the high availability of Enterprise SAN arrays and networks for a major banking client.

As part of strengthening the production infrastructure engineering teams of a major banking and financial group, we are looking for a SAN Storage Expert. Within the IT Infrastructure and Production Department, your role will be crucial and highly strategic: you will be responsible for the design, deployment, optimization, automation, and level 4 (N4 / Expert Level) support of SAN (Storage Area Network) storage infrastructures hosting the SI's highly critical data.

Your Future Environment

You will work within the Storage & Backup expertise hub in the Paris region (with occasional travel to a second site in the Île-de-France region). In direct contact with infrastructure architects, project managers, system engineers (Windows/Linux), and international support teams based abroad, you will be the guarantor of the resilience, performance, and security of enterprise-grade storage arrays. You will work in a hybrid setup (with on-call duties and interventions outside of working hours - HNO - to be expected) and in an international context requiring full command of English.

Your Key Missions

Design, Architecture & Automation (BUILD & DEVOPS Mode):

N4 Expertise, DR/BCP & International Support (RUN & GOVERNANCE Mode):

• Design, architect, and manage the deployment of new enterprise-level SAN storage solutions and arrays.
• Write and validate engineering deliverables: General and Detailed Design Documents (DAT/DED), technology roadmaps, technical opinions, and security standards.
• Develop automation and reliability initiatives for SAN provisioning using scripts (PowerShell, Python, Perl, Bash) and a DevOps approach.
• Ensure active technological watch on enterprise storage evolutions and lead strategic technical presentations.
• Provide expert-level technical support (N4) and act as the ultimate escalation point for complex or critical production incidents.
• Prepare, execute, and validate business continuity and disaster recovery tests (BCP / DR) on all arrays and replication matrices.
• Ensure knowledge transfer, write operational procedures, and technically lead international N1/N2/N3 support teams responsible for routine administration (fluent English essential).
• Rigorously apply ITIL best practices and monitor change and problem management through ITSM tools.
• Participate in the on-call rotation and carry out planned interventions outside of working hours (HNO).
