This role combines deep Hyper-V expertise with modern Site Reliability Engineering practices to improve platform reliability, scalability, performance, automation, and operational excellence.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for ensuring platform reliability through infrastructure automation, OS upgrades, proactive monitoring, incident response, capacity planning, and continuous service improvement while collaborating with infrastructure, security, and application teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Operate enterprise-scale private cloud infrastructure built on Microsoft Hyper-V.
  • Optimize, and support highly available VDI environments on Hyper-V.
  • Improve platform reliability, availability, scalability, and resiliency by applying SRE principles and engineering best practices.
  • Disaster recovery, backup, patch management, and business continuity strategies.
  • Define and maintain Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and operational metrics for critical infrastructure services.
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and operational workflows using PowerShell and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles wherever applicable.
  • Manage Hyper-V Failover Clusters, host lifecycle, storage, networking, and capacity to ensure high availability and business continuity.
  • Develop proactive monitoring, alerting, logging, and observability capabilities to detect and prevent service degradation.
  • Lead incident response for infrastructure-related outages, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and implement preventive actions through post-incident reviews.
  • Perform capacity planning, performance tuning, and resource optimization across Hyper-V clusters and VDI platforms.
  • Support infrastructure migration initiatives including P2V, V2V, workload modernization, and private cloud transformations.
  • Collaborate closely with Security, Networking, Platform Engineering, and Application teams to improve platform reliability and operational efficiency.
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, operational runbooks, automation scripts, and standard operating procedures.
  • Mentor junior engineers and promote SRE culture, automation, and operational best practices across the team.


Experience & Qualifications

  • 6+ years of infrastructure engineering experience with at least 4+ years of hands-on Microsoft Hyper-V administration.
  • Demonstrated experience operating mission-critical enterprise infrastructure with high availability and reliability requirements.
  • Proven experience implementing automation to reduce operational overhead and improve service reliability.
  • Experience supporting enterprise private cloud and VDI environments.
  • Experience participating in incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous service improvement initiatives.
  • Microsoft certifications such as Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate or equivalent are desirable.
  • Experience in Banking or Financial Services environments is advantageous.

    Preferred Skills

    • Windows Server 2016/2019/2022 administration.
    • Experience with backup and disaster recovery solutions such as Veeam, Altaro, or native Hyper-V Replica.
    • Exposure to hybrid cloud and private cloud platforms.
    • Familiarity with monitoring and observability platforms such as SCOM, Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, or similar tools.
    • Experience supporting enterprise VDI environments.
    • Understanding of ITIL Incident, Problem, Change, and Release Management.
    • Experience working in regulated industries such as Banking or Financial Services.
