Job Details

CMK Resources is seeking a Senior NVMe Storage Engineer to serve as a resident, embedded expert supporting a high-performance Linux and  Oracle infrastructure leveraging NVMe-over-TCP and Pure Storage platforms. This is a hands-on, scripting-heavy role focused on storage pathing, performance optimization, and automation—not general Linux administration.

You’ll partner closely with senior Linux platform teams to deliver mission-critical improvements in IO performance and automation workflows in complex production environments.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Configure, validate, tune, and troubleshoot NVMe-over-TCP paths
  • Perform multipath tuning, I/O scheduler optimization, and latency analysis
  • Build automation scripts in Bash, Python, or Ansible for storage discovery, validation, multi-pathing and system tuning
  • Build Linux automation for storage pre-checks, connectivity testing, mounting/unmounting, and system tuning
  • Support Oracle infrastructure alignment (ASM, RAC, multipath)
  • Work across Dev, QA, and production environments to test and stabilize high-performance workloads
    Contribute to CI/CD automation, leveraging Azure DevOps, Git, and ServiceNow workflows
  • Collaborate with SAN/storage teams to triage and resolve performance issues

Must-Have Expertise:

  • NVMe-over-TCP (production-grade experience)
  • nvme-cli, multipath configuration, queue depth tuning
  • I/O performance troubleshooting and baselining (fio, iostat, sar, perf)
  • NIC offloading concepts, PFC/ECN understanding
  • Bash scripting (strong)
  • Python and/or Ansible (moderate to strong)
  • Git, Azure DevOps Boards, ServiceNow workflows
  • Experience supporting customers in large enterprise Linux production environments

 

Nice to Have:

  • Exposure to Oracle storage environments (ASM, RAC, multipath IO dependencies)
  • CPU pinning, high-speed fabric tuning
  • Experience contributing to Ansible playbooks or existing automation frameworks
  • Pure Storage FlashArray experience
  • Red Hat Linux systems administration

 

Preferred Locations - Remote candidates considered with occasional travel as needed to the following areas.

  • Jersey City, NJ (preferred)
  • Wilmington, DE
  • Alpharetta, GA
  • Omaha, NE
  • Fort Lauderdale, FL

 

Ideal Candidate:

You're a hands-on engineer with strong storage automation skills and deep tuning experience. You thrive in fast-paced, production-critical environments and can confidently collaborate with senior infrastructure, storage, and automation teams.

You don't just configure systems—you optimize them, automate them, and make them more resilient.
