  • Build and maintain virtual machines and virtualization infrastructure
  • Develop automation solutions using PowerShell / PowerCLI
  • Perform capacity planning, performance tuning, and preventive maintenance
  • Lead production incident response, root cause analysis, and postmortems
  • Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation to ensure uptime and reliability

Must-Have Skills
  • VMware ESXi (primary skillset)
  • VMware vSphere & vCenter
  • Hyper-V and other hypervisors
  • Private Cloud (non-AWS) environments
  • Strong PowerShell scripting / PowerCLI expertise
  • Minimum 8-9 years of experience in VMware/Hypervisor engineering

Preferred Experience
  • Deep, hands-on VMware expertise (non-negotiable)
  • Proven background supporting mission-critical, always-on environments

  • Ability to own production reliability end-to-end
  • Mindset focused on automation and operational efficiency
