Immediate need for a Data Protection & Disaster Recovery Technical Services Engineer!
What You’ll Do: Own backup, restore, and resiliency outcomes across MSP client base—serving as the primary technical liaison for Veeam Backup & Replication, and monitoring/compliance. You will design and operate 3-2-1 strategies, tune jobs and retention to meet RPO/RTO targets, execute regular recovery tests and DR runbooks, and lead incident response and escalations with clear client-facing communication. This position will assist with server administration tasks such as patching, maintenance, and reboot schedules. This is a full-time, in-office role that partners closely with engineering on L2–L3 issues and RCA to continuously improve reliability and compliance.
Responsibilities:
· Own backup, restore, and resiliency outcomes for all MSP clients; act as the primary technical liaison for backup/DR platforms and service delivery.
· Veeam platform ownership: design, configure, and maintain Veeam Backup & Replication (SOBR, backup copy, replication, Instant Recovery, SureBackup labs); manage repositories, retention, encryption, and job health.
· Immutable off-site copies: build and operate (bucket policies, retention/immutability, lifecycle/usage controls) as the off-site tier.
· Monitoring & compliance reporting: implement and tune end-to-end success/failure monitoring, alerting/escalation, daily health checks, and compliance evidence packs.
· 3-2-1 architectures: design and run three-copy / two-media / one off-site strategies using NAS appliances (QNAP/Synology) for local copy and off-site; document RPO/RTO per workload.
· Recovery testing & documentation: execute regular restore drills (file/VM/app-item, Instant Recovery, SureBackup verification), record results, and maintain DR runbooks with clear owners and contact trees.
· Incident response & escalation: lead backup/restore and DR events (containment, comms, status cadence, executive updates), perform RCA, and drive corrective and preventive actions.
· Optimization & capacity planning: forecast storage and license consumption (SOBR extents, NAS growth, usage), reduce failure rates, and tune schedules/windows for performance and cost.
· Automation & tooling: script deployments and reporting (e.g., PowerShell/API) for job creation, compliance checks, and evidence generation; improve alert fidelity and self-healing where practical.
· Server & platform coordination: align with server/virtualization teams on patch cycles, maintenance windows, and planned reboots to protect backup integrity and meet SLAs.
· Security & governance: enforce RBAC/least privilege, MFA, key handling, and immutability standards; maintain audit-ready artifacts for SOC 2/HIPAA and client policies.
· Collaboration & L2–L3 support: partner with internal engineering on escalations and root-cause analysis; provide clear remediation plans and client-facing service reviews with metrics.
· KPI ownership: track and publish backup success %, restore SLAs, test cadence, RPO/RTO attainment, immutable coverage %, and time-to-resolve—surfacing risks and improvement opportunities.
· Documentation hygiene: keep runbooks, inventories, schedules, and change records current in the knowledge base; ensure clean ticket/time entry in PSA.
· Participate in on-call/escalation rotations as required.
What You’ll Bring:
· 2+ years in an MSP setting focused on backup/DR and Windows server environments.
· Deep Veeam proficiency. VMCE Cert is a plus.
· Solid grounding in Windows Server/AD, virtualization (preferably Hyper-V, working knowledge of VMware), storage (SMB/NFS, iSCSI), networking basics, and change control.
· PowerShell and basic API/JSON skills to automate deployments, checks, and reports.
· Security & compliance mindset: RBAC/least privilege, MFA, encryption in transit/at rest, audit artifacts for SOC 2/HIPAA.
· Excellent documentation and incident communications; willing to support maintenance windows/on-call.
