Role Overview

MetroSys is seeking a Storage Architect to take ownership of multiple concurrent storage initiatives in a fast-growing environment. This role is ideal for a senior-level professional who is highly accountable, resourceful, and comfortable operating with minimal oversight. The Storage Architect will manage design, decision-making, and delivery across several projects simultaneously while serving as a trusted technical partner to customers and internal teams.

This is not a task-driven role—success is measured by outcomes, not activity. The ideal candidate is adaptable, communicates clearly, and understands how to apply practical solutions using an 80/20 mindset to drive results efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end design, execution, and delivery of storage architecture initiatives across 4–6 active projects per month.

• Serve as the primary technical owner for storage outcomes, from requirements through implementation and stabilization.

• Architect, evaluate, and evolve storage solutions in a rapidly changing environment, including frequent platform updates and growth.

• Act as a customer-facing technical lead, clearly communicating design decisions, tradeoffs, and recommendations.

• Adapt quickly to shifting priorities and changing requirements while maintaining delivery timelines.

• Partner with offshore teams that handle after-hours operations, ensuring continuity and quality of execution.

• Balance speed and quality, applying pragmatic decision-making to avoid over-engineering and diminishing returns.

• Provide guidance and technical leadership without micromanagement, operating as a trusted expert.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in enterprise storage engineering or architecture roles.

• Proven experience owning and delivering storage projects independently.

• Strong background designing and supporting modern enterprise storage platforms (Pure Storage experience strongly preferred).

• Experience managing multiple parallel initiatives in fast-moving environments.

• Strong customer-facing communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.

• Demonstrated ability to take ownership, make decisions, and be accountable for outcomes.

• Comfortable working in environments with frequent change and growth.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in high-growth or evolving storage environments.

• Experience transitioning from contract to long-term or full-time roles.

• Familiarity with hybrid infrastructure environments and operational handoffs.

• Background working with globally distributed teams.
