United States onlyRole 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.
