Role Overview

Step into the critical role of Storage Engineer at Arrow Electronics in Casablanca, Morocco, where you'll be at the heart of ensuring seamless data flow for a global leader in electronic components distribution. Arrow Global Components, part of the expansive Arrow Electronics network, relies on robust storage infrastructure to support its worldwide operations in reselling, customizing, and distributing cutting-edge electronic components. As a Storage Engineer, you'll join the dynamic IT & Infrastructure team, a group renowned for its collaboration, trust, expertise, and relentless innovation. This position is perfect for English-speaking professionals passionate about storage technologies, data protection, and thriving in cross-functional environments.

In this full-time role based at Boulevard Al Quods in Casablanca, you'll safeguard enterprise storage solutions, from Storage Area Networks (SAN) and Network-Attached Storage (NAS) to advanced cloud platforms. Your expertise will directly impact data reliability, performance, and security, enabling Arrow Morocco's growth in a competitive global market. With 5-7 years of experience in storage systems, hands-on knowledge of platforms like Dell PowerMax, NetApp, HPE, Rubrik, and Veritas NetBackup, and proficiency in protocols such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and NFS, you'll be instrumental in proactive monitoring, capacity planning, backup implementations, and swift troubleshooting. This isn't just a job; it's a chance to architect the backbone of data infrastructure in an international powerhouse.

Day in the Life

Imagine starting your day at Arrow Electronics' Casablanca office on Boulevard Al Quods, greeted by a collaborative team buzzing with energy. Your morning kicks off with a review of overnight storage performance dashboards, identifying any anomalies in SAN or NAS utilization. Using tools like Rubrik or Veritas NetBackup, you verify backup jobs completed successfully and run quick integrity checks on critical data volumes.

By mid-morning, you're collaborating with network engineers via a stand-up meeting, discussing Fibre Channel zoning adjustments to support a new database rollout. Lunchtime offers a relaxed break in the friendly atmosphere, perhaps joining colleagues for team-building chatter. Post-lunch, dive into capacity planning: analyzing trends with NetApp or HPE systems to forecast needs for the quarter, recommending cloud expansions if on-premises limits loom.

Afternoon brings troubleshooting—a virtual server reports iSCSI latency. You trace it methodically, optimizing configurations and documenting resolutions for the knowledge base. As the day winds down, you evaluate emerging storage tech, like automation scripts for Veritas, and join a cross-team huddle on disaster recovery drills. End with updates to stakeholders, ensuring everyone sleeps easy knowing data is secure. This rhythm blends technical depth, teamwork, and innovation in Morocco's vibrant tech scene.
