Key Responsibilities

Backup & Disaster Recovery

· Design, deploy, and manage Veeam Backup & Replication across diverse global locations, focusing on local site backups for on-premises legacy hardware, VMware, and Hyper-V environments.

· Manage extensive tape backup operations, acting as the primary liaison with local resources at global sites to ensure proper tape rotation, physical media security, and overall backup success.

· Lead the development and maintenance of DR runbooks, periodic recovery testing, and adherence to defined RPO/RTO objectives.

Storage Management

· Master and manage mixed local storage configurations (SAN/NAS) at each global site, ensuring high availability, optimal performance, and security of all workloads.

· Collaborate with Network and Storage teams on VLANs, routing/firewall rules, NTP/DNS, load balancing designs, SAN/NAS connectivity, and multipathing.

Core Platform Administration (Tertiary Support)

· Provide backend admin support for Windows Server environments, including installation, hardening, patching, performance tuning, and lifecycle management.

· Support virtualization infrastructure, including VMware vSphere / Microsoft HyperV: ESXi host builds and HyperV host deployment, vCenter and HyperV Manager/SCVMM administration.

Monitoring & Observability

· Monitor daily backup job success, storage capacity limits, and physical hardware health across all locations.

· Conduct health, capacity, and performance monitoring; alert tuning and root-cause analysis.

Documentation & Process

· Maintain as-built docs, runbooks, standards, and diagrams.

· Participate in on-call rotation, major incident response, and problem management; provide clear communications and post-incident reports.

Required Qualifications

· 5+ years of progressive experience engineering and administering Veeam Backup & Replication in large, distributed environments.

· Deep, hands-on expertise with physical tape backup infrastructure, library management, and remote coordination for media handling.

· Strong experience managing mixed local storage environments (SAN, NAS, direct-attached) across various hardware vendors.

· Strong experience with VMware vSphere (ESXi/vCenter), including HA/DRS, resource management, and lifecycle/patching of hosts.

· Strong understanding of security hardening, patching processes, and change control in regulated environments.

· Excellent troubleshooting skills across Windows/VMware/Network layers; strong documentation and communication skills.

Education & Certifications (Nice to Have)

· Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.

· Veeam: Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) or Veeam Certified Architect (VMCA).

· Microsoft: Microsoft Certified preferred - Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate, or legacy MCSA/MCSE with strong emphasis on Windows Server administration, system management, and HyperV administration.

· VMware: VCP-DCV (or higher).

Tools & Technologies (Environment-Dependent)

· Backup/DR: Veeam Backup & Replication, extensive Tape Library systems, physical media management.

· Storage: Mixed local storage systems (SAN/NAS configurations), local hardware arrays.

· Virtualization: VMware vSphere (ESXi, vCenter), Microsoft HyperV (Host/Cluster management, SCVMM, Live Migration, replication).

· OS/Directory: Windows Server 2012R2–2022, AD DS, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP.
