Solaris and Storage Admin

The Solaris and Storage Administrator is an individual contributor who provides advanced, secure, hands-on operational support for Nokia’s NSA Retained infrastructure. The role independently owns complex administration and problem resolution across the retained Solaris/SPARC estate and its storage, backup, monitoring, privileged-access, and migration dependencies. The position serves as a subject-matter expert, leads technical improvements and recovery activities, and influences cross-functional execution while following NSA access restrictions, Nokia governance, customer-specific U.S.-only data-handling requirements, and chain-of-custody controls.

- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- Typically eight or more years of enterprise infrastructure experience, including substantial hands-on administration of Oracle Solaris 10 or 11, SPARC platforms, storage, and backup technologies in business-critical environments.
- Demonstrated experience with Solaris Zones, LDOMs, ZFS, SMF, networking, patching, shell scripting, performance analysis, troubleshooting, and recovery.
- Hands-on administration of enterprise SAN and NAS platforms, preferably NetApp, including Fibre Channel or IP connectivity, LUNs, shares, multipathing, replication, snapshots, DNS, and support connectivity.
- Experience operating enterprise backup systems, preferably NetBackup and physical tape libraries, including policy administration, drive and robotic troubleshooting, restores, and recovery validation.
- Experience supporting tightly controlled infrastructure with privileged-access governance, least privilege, audit evidence, change control, incident management, and chain-of-custody requirements.
- Ability to satisfy Nokia employment, location, authorization, and access requirements applicable to the NSA Retained environment before privileged access is granted.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently, lead complex technical activities, influence cross-functional stakeholders, mentor colleagues, and communicate risk and recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred:
- Experience with Oracle T-series systems, legacy Solaris workloads, Stromasys emulation, clustered environments, and data-center migrations.
- Experience with NetApp ONTAP, SAN switching, storage dependency discovery, AutoSupport, service processors, and controller failover analysis.
- Working knowledge of Nokia operational processes and tools for incidents, requests, stories, changes, monitoring, and controlled migration checklists.
- Experience supporting U.S.-only or regulated environments and handling protected customer information under strict access and data-location controls.
- Relevant Oracle Solaris, NetApp, Veritas NetBackup, storage networking, security, or IT service-management certification.
