Your mission :

Overview: We are seeking a skilled and visionary Cloud Storage Architect specializing in Cloudian and AWS S3 ecosystems (Object Store). In this role, you will not just manage infrastructure; you will architect, build, and automate scalable Bucket-as-a-Service (BaaS) solutions tailored for direct customer consumption.You will bridge the gap between core storage infrastructure, modern automation, and customer-facing delivery. Working closely with our Centers of Excellence (COE), you will ensure our S3-compatible object storage systems are secure, high-performing, API-driven, and seamlessly integrated into automated deployment pipelines.

Key Responsibilities:

• Service Design & Productization: Architect and build secure, multi-tenant Cloudian S3 storage solutions designed to be consumed directly by end-customers as a service.
• Infrastructure-as-Code & Automation: Develop, implement, and maintain automation pipelines using Terraform and Ansible to fully automate storage provisioning, tenant onboarding, and lifecycle management.
• Storage Architecture & Management: Design and manage enterprise-scale Cloudian S3 clusters, ensuring high availability, peak performance, and efficient data distribution.
• Traffic & Performance Optimization: Utilize HyperBalance to optimize load distribution across storage nodes, maximizing throughput and eliminating bottlenecks for customer applications.
• AI-Powered Monitoring: Proactively monitor system health, capacity, and analytics using HyperIQ, Prometheus, and Grafana to ensure stringent customer SLAs are met.
• Data Protection & Resiliency: Design robust backup, multi-region replication, and disaster recovery strategies using S3-compatible object storage systems.
• Security, Compliance & Multi-Tenancy: Implement strict identity and access management (IAM), bucket policies, encryption protocols (at rest and in transit), and multi-tenant isolation to safeguard customer data.
• Cross-Functional Integration: Collaborate with DevOps, Network, and Cloud teams to integrate S3 object storage with modern cloud-native tools, applications, and CI/CD pipelines.

Your profile : Required Skills & Experience:

• Core Experience: 8 10+ years in storage engineering, cloud infrastructure, or a similar role, with a heavy emphasis on AWS S3 APIs and distributed object storage systems.
• Automation Expertise: Strong experience treating infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform and configuration management via Ansible to build self-service infrastructure. N8N for orchestration and Cycloid as catalogue of service exposure.
• Service Delivery Mindset: Proven track record of designing storage solutions that are exposed via APIs or self-service portals for internal or external customer consumption.
• Cloudian Ecosystem: Hands-on experience or deep technical familiarity with Cloudian HyperStore, HyperBalance (load balancing), and HyperIQ (analytics).
• Protocols & Integration: Deep understanding of REST APIs, S3 API compliance, IAM policies, and networking protocols.
• Monitoring & Observability: Proficiency with modern observability stacks (e.g., HyperIQ, Prometheus, Grafana) for capacity planning and performance tuning.
• Security & Compliance: Strong knowledge of data security, including KMS, TLS/SSL, object locking (WORM), and compliance standards.
• Soft Skills: Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical storage architectures into clear, user-centric service offerings.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience with Cloudian HyperStore, HyperBalance, HyperIQ, or similar distributed storage platforms.
• Knowledge of hybrid cloud storage setups (integrating on-prem and cloud storage solutions).
• Experience with containerized environments like Docker and Kubernetes (using object storage with Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with data migration and replication strategies for large-scale storage environments.
• Experience building custom API wrappers or integrating storage provisioning into IT Service Management tools (like ServiceNow).
• Knowledge of hybrid cloud storage setups (seamless replication between on-remises Cloudian and public AWS S3).
• Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Cloudian Certified Expert, or advanced Terraform/Ansible certifications).

Requirements:

• EU citizenship.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken) is required; proficiency in any other European language is a plus.
