    • Experience troubleshooting high-volume data transfers and storage performance issues.
    • Understanding of file systems, permissions, networking, storage protocols, and data integrity concepts.
    • Ability to troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues independently during production migration windows.
    • Comfortable working scheduled evening, overnight, weekend, and on-call migration windows as required.
    • Strong communication and documentation skills.
    Preferred Qualifications:
    • Experience with Hammerspace or similar data orchestration/data management platforms.
