How much do virtualization jobs pay per hour?
What is virtualization and how is it used in IT environments?
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Virtualization Engineer, and why are they important?
What is the difference between Virtualization vs System Administrator?
| Aspect | Virtualization | System Administrator |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Role | Creating and managing virtual environments and resources | Managing and maintaining IT infrastructure and networks |
| Certifications | VMware, Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator, CompTIA Server+ | CompTIA Server+, Cisco CCNA, Microsoft Certified: Windows Server |
| Work Environment | Data centers, cloud platforms, virtual labs | Office, data centers, remote support |
| Industry Usage | Cloud providers, data centers, enterprise IT | All industries with IT infrastructure needs |
While virtualization specialists focus on creating virtual environments to optimize hardware resources, system administrators oversee overall IT infrastructure, including hardware, networks, and software. Both roles require technical certifications and often work together to ensure efficient IT operations.

Job description
TensorWave is focused on delivering seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. They are seeking a Staff Infrastructure Engineer to lead the design and evolution of their virtualization platform, focusing on building scalable infrastructure for high-performance AI workloads.
Responsibilities:
• Design and implement a scalable virtualization platform capable of supporting high-density compute and GPU workloads
• Lead the evolution from existing platforms (e.g., Proxmox) toward KVM/QEMU-based architectures
• Define standards for VM lifecycle management (provisioning, scheduling, migration), performance isolation and resource allocation, failure domains and resilience strategies
• Optimize virtualization for high-performance workloads, including NUMA alignment, CPU pinning and scheduling, PCIe topology awareness, GPU passthrough and device assignment
• Partner closely with networking and storage teams to integrate high-throughput, networking (e.g., SR-IOV, RDMA), distributed and local storage systems
• Build and improve automation for hypervisor deployment and configuration, image pipelines, cluster scaling and lifecycle management
• Troubleshoot deep system-level performance issues across compute, memory, storage, and network layers
• Contribute to long-term platform architecture and infrastructure strategy
Qualifications:
Required:
• 7+ years of experience in infrastructure, systems engineering, or platform engineering
• Deep experience with Linux-based virtualization, including: KVM/QEMU, libvirt or similar tooling
• Strong understanding of: CPU scheduling and NUMA architectures, Memory management and performance tuning, Storage I/O paths and performance characteristics
• Experience designing and operating virtualization platforms at scale (hundreds+ hosts)
• Solid networking fundamentals, including: Linux networking (bridges, bonding, VLANs), High-performance networking concepts
• Experience with infrastructure automation (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, or similar)
• Strong troubleshooting skills across distributed systems
Preferred:
• Experience in cloud or CSP environments (public or private)
• Familiarity with: GPU workloads and passthrough (VFIO), SR-IOV and advanced NIC features
• Experience integrating virtualization with: Kubernetes platforms, Bare metal provisioning systems (e.g., MAAS)
• Exposure to distributed storage systems (e.g., Ceph, Weka, or similar)
• Experience working in high-performance or low-latency environments
Company:
TensorWave is an AMD-exclusive cloud platform that leverages AMD Instinct GPUs and ROCm for high-performance AI workloads. Founded in 2023, the company is headquartered in Las Vegas, USA, with a team of 51-200 employees. The company is currently Growth Stage.
