Infrastructure Engineer - Hyper-V

Please share resumes to sarva@techoneit.com Job Title: Senior Infrastructure Engineer - Hyper-V Virtualization & Infrastructure Engineering Location: Jersey City, NJ/Houston, TX/San Francisco, CA (Need Local Candidates only) Type: ContractWe're looking for a talented, senior engineering professional ready to take their career to new heights at one of the world's most influential companies.You will engineer and operate enterprise-scale Microsoft Hyper-V virtual infrastructure across global data centers. You will apply depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple domains — hypervisor platforms, storage, networking, clustering, performance engineering, and security compliance — to deploy, optimize, and maintain virtual infrastructure that supports tens of thousands of workloads across multiple regions.This role sits within the Compute Engineering team, which owns the full lifecycle of virtual infrastructure: hypervisor deployment and upgrade, cluster operations, performance engineering, storage optimization, workload management, and compliance remediation. A separate hardware engineering function handles server certification, firmware lifecycle management, and hardware lab validation. You will collaborate closely with hardware engineering evaluating hardware BOMs for performance characteristics specific to Hyper-V and providing technical feedback but your primary focus is the virtualization platform layer and above. You will work across Windows Server and Hyper-V clustering, storage subsystems, and automation tooling maintaining and extending a custom .NET-based workload management platform as needed. You will provide stewardship to other engineers through technical guidance, peer review, and design documentation. Experience with Hyper-V at enterprise scale is a strong differentiator. Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills · 5+ years of hands-on experience in infrastrucre engineering with demonstrated depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple domains (virtualization, storage, networking, Windows Server administration). · Strong expertise in Microsoft Hyper-V at enterprise scale: failover clustering, live migration, storage spaces / S2D, virtual networking (Hyper-V virtual switch, SET), and Windows Server administration. · Strong proficiency in PowerShell scripting for infrastructure automation, host configuration management, WMI-based inventory collection, and operational tooling. · Demonstrated ability to audit performance of complex infrastructure architecture across the full stack and to maintain architecture artifacts (design documents, decision records, diagrams). · Experience with storage performance analysis and optimization in virtualized environments — benchmarking, capacity planning, and storage policy design. · Ability to evaluate hardware BOMs for Hyper-V suitability — assessing processor/memory ratios, storage I/O characteristics, network throughput, and overcommit profiles. · Experience with infrastructure automation and configuration management tools (DSC, SCCM, Ansible, or equivalent) at data center scale. · Experience advocating for and implementing infrastructure automation — CI/CD pipelines, operational process improvement, and configuration-as-code — with a focus on scalability versus resource use. · Track record of providing stewardship to other engineers through technical guidance, design review, and documentation. · Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills · Experience with Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) and Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) at enterprise scale. · Experience with additional hypervisors (VMware ESXi, KVM, etc.) — production experience with dual-hypervisor environments is a plus. · Familiarity with server hardware architecture (Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC, NVMe storage, GPU accelerators) sufficient to evaluate hardware proposals for Hyper-V workload suitability. · Experience with network fabric integration in virtualized environments — VLAN, SDN, load balancing, and network adapter teaming. · Working knowledge of C# / .NET for maintaining and extending infrastructure automation platforms. · Experience with Microsoft System Center (VMM, SCOM, SCCM) at enterprise scale. · Experience with security compliance remediation — Qualys vulnerability management, break management, and security baseline enforcement. · Experience with performance testing frameworks (elbencho, VMFleet, diskspd, fio or similar) for storage and compute validation. · Familiarity with using generative AI tools to accelerate engineering and research cycles.Thanks Sarvar Khan
