About the Role

We are looking for a VMware Engineer to design, deploy, and operate VMware-based virtualization, software-defined networking, and software-defined storage platforms across on-premises and hybrid cloud environments. The role covers vSphere, vSAN, NSX, Aria, and Tanzu, with a focus on automation, capacity management, and the practical realities of operating a large VMware estate alongside modern cloud-native workloads. The ideal candidate has operated VMware platforms at enterprise scale, navigates the evolving VMware product landscape pragmatically, and brings strong automation and operations discipline.

Responsibilities

• Operate NSX-T for software-defined networking, including micro-segmentation and load balancing.
• Manage vSAN clusters, storage policies, and storage performance for diverse workload classes.
• Implement disaster recovery and business continuity using Site Recovery Manager and replication.
• Build automation for VMware infrastructure using PowerCLI, Terraform, Ansible, and vRO.
• Design capacity management strategies including right-sizing, reservation, and workload placement.
• Operate VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) deployments where applicable, applying lifecycle management, workload domain design, and integration patterns appropriate to the broader hybrid cloud strategy.
• Implement and operate VMware integrations with cloud providers (VMware Cloud on AWS, AVS, GCVE).
• Build observability for VMware infrastructure including performance, capacity, and compliance.
• Lead VMware upgrades, lifecycle management cycles, and security patching across the virtualization estate, planning carefully sequenced rollouts that minimize disruption to dependent workloads.
• Troubleshoot complex VMware issues spanning compute, network, and storage layers.
• Stay current with VMware product evolution following the Broadcom transition.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
• Five or more years of hands-on VMware platform engineering experience.
• Deep expertise in vSphere, vCenter, and ESXi.
• Hands-on experience with vSAN and storage policy management.
• Experience with NSX-T or NSX-V networking.
• Strong PowerCLI scripting skills and experience with automation tooling.
• Familiarity with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid or VMware container platforms.
• Strong understanding of disaster recovery patterns and SRM.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across compute, network, and storage layers.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• VMware Certified Professional (VCP) or VCAP credentials.
• Experience with VMware Cloud on AWS, AVS, or GCVE.
• Familiarity with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF).
• Experience with Aria Operations / vRealize Operations.
• Exposure to migration programs out of VMware to alternative virtualization platforms.
