Virtualization & Management:
  • Architect PowerVM, VIOS, and PowerVC tooling to manage virtualized IBM Power environments efficiently. Utilizing HMC, vHMC, and PowerCMC as integral management componens is a must.
Operational Support:
  • Serve as top escalation contact for implemented architectures, recognizing that all Operations personnel are ultimately responsible for ensuring a great client experience.
Cyber Resilience:
  • Ensure IBM environments are designed for security, resilience, and rapid recovery in the event of cyber incidents or system outages. Experience configuring and utilizing PowerHA, DB2 Mirror, and LPM preferred.
Documentation & Standards:
  • Maintain architecture diagrams, system documentation, and operational standards to support governance, audits, and knowledge sharing. Ensure Automation is in-place supporting repeatable, consistent deployments.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  • Work closely with infrastructure, networking, automation, storage, security, and operations teams to ensure consistent, secure, and supportable solutions.
Sales & Customer Support:
  • Assist the Sales team as an IBM Power subject-matter expert during customer engagements and solution design discussions when needed.
Education and Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • 10+ years of hands-on experience with IBM Power Systems environments
  • Proven experience developing and administering IBM PowerVS environments
  • Strong expertise with IBM AIX and IBM i architecture and administration
  • Experience with POWER hardware, Fibre Channel networking, and enterprise storage
  • Hands-on experience administering PowerVC
  • Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills
With over 20 years in business, LightEdge offers a full stack of best-in-class IT services delivering flexibility, security, and control. Our solutions include premier colocation across seven purpose-built data centers spanning Des Moines, IA, Kansas City, MO, Omaha, NE, Austin, TX, and Raleigh, NC, industry-leading private Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and cloud platforms, and the top global security and compliance measures.
