What is a VMware NSX engineer?

VMware NSX Engineers are IT professionals who specialize in designing, implementing, and managing VMware NSX environments, which are used for network virtualization and security in data centers. They work to create virtual networks that provide flexibility, scalability, and enhanced security across cloud and on-premises infrastructures. These engineers are responsible for configuring network policies, integrating security controls, troubleshooting network issues, and ensuring optimal performance of virtualized network components. Their expertise is crucial for organizations looking to modernize their network infrastructure and support digital transformation initiatives.

How does a VMware NSX engineer typically collaborate with network and security teams in an organization?

As a VMware NSX Engineer, collaboration with both network and security teams is essential. You’ll work closely with network engineers to design and implement virtual networks, ensuring seamless integration with existing physical infrastructure. At the same time, you’ll partner with security teams to configure and manage micro-segmentation, firewall policies, and compliance controls. Effective communication and coordination are key, as projects often require joint troubleshooting, planning, and ongoing support to achieve robust, secure, and scalable network solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a VMware NSX engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a VMware NSX Engineer, you need expertise in network virtualization, strong knowledge of TCP/IP, routing, and switching, and experience with VMware NSX platforms, often backed by a relevant degree or VMware certifications such as VCP-NV. Familiarity with automation tools like PowerCLI, network security systems, and hands-on experience with NSX-T or NSX-V are typically required. Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills help engineers troubleshoot complex issues and work effectively with IT teams. These skills are crucial for ensuring secure, scalable, and resilient virtual network infrastructures in dynamic enterprise environments.

Job description

What We Need

NetBrain is looking for a seasoned network automation leader who's ready to trade individual troubleshooting wins for enterprise-wide transformation. In this role, you'll sit at the intersection of enterprise networking, automation, and business strategy by leading executive workshops, translating operational pain points into automation roadmaps, and advising some of the world's largest organizations on how to run their networks smarter, faster, and with far less manual effort.  

This is a role for someone who's spent years deep in routing, switching, and multi-vendor architectures but has grown into a trusted advisor. You are as comfortable whiteboarding with a CIO as they are reviewing a runbook design with an engineer. If you want your technical depth to drive business outcomes, build lasting customer relationships, and shape where NetBrain's product goes next, keep reading for more details. 

What You'll Do

Customer Workshops and Strategic Consulting 

  • Plan and facilitate onsite and virtual customer workshops with executives, network leaders, architects, and operations teams to surface priorities, pain points, and automation opportunities.
  • Translate business objectives into prioritized NetBrain use cases, automation strategies, and phased maturity roadmaps.
  • Build stakeholder consensus on automation priorities, ownership, and governance.
  • Deliver executive-level readouts summarizing findings, recommendations, and next steps. 

 Business Value and Adoption 

  • Identify opportunities for NetBrain to reduce operational effort, accelerate troubleshooting, and strengthen compliance; establish value hypotheses and success criteria.
  • Quantify business outcomes (hours saved, MTTR improvement, change-risk reduction, tool consolidation) and prioritize use cases by impact, feasibility, and readiness.
  • Develop customer-specific adoption and value realization plans; conduct periodic value reviews and recommend roadmap adjustments.
  • Document customer success stories and promote broader adoption of NetBrain capabilities across teams. 

Network Automation and Technical Advisory 

  • Assess network operations processes and define requirements for runbooks, network intents, dashboards, and automation workflows covering troubleshooting, incident response, change validation, and compliance.
  • Provide architectural guidance for automation across complex, multi-vendor environments; review designs for scalability, security, and alignment with objectives.
  • Collaborate with NetBrain architects and engineers to translate workshop outcomes into technical requirements, including pre/post-change validation, continuous assessments, and closed-loop remediation. 
  • Advise on integrations with ITSM, monitoring, and observability platforms; stay current on emerging automation and AI technologies. 

Customer Engagement and Program Leadership 

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to customer technology leaders; build relationships with sponsors, champions, and stakeholders.
  • Define governance, roles, and operating models for automation programs; identify and help resolve adoption risks and organizational barriers.
  • Maintain clear documentation of findings, decisions, and commitments; partner with Customer Success, Professional Services, Sales, Solution Engineering, and Product to deliver a coordinated experience.
  • Provide structured feedback to Product and Engineering on customer needs and market trends. 

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience, plus 8+ years in enterprise networking, network operations, network automation, or infrastructure consulting, including direct experience in a large enterprise environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead customer workshops, discovery sessions, or strategic planning engagements, translating technical topics into business language for audiences ranging from engineers to executives.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills; able to manage multiple engagements independently while collaborating with global, cross-functional teams; willing to travel to customer sites for multi-day workshops (see Travel and Work Environment).
  • Should have experience in several of the following areas:
    • Enterprise network architectures and protocols across multi-vendor environments: routing/switching, TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, VPNs, VLANs; firewalls (Palo Alto, Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point, Juniper); load balancing (F5); wireless (Cisco, Aruba, Juniper Mist); data center (Cisco ACI/Nexus, Arista, VMware NSX); SD-WAN; and public cloud networking (Azure, AWS, GCP).
    • Network configuration management, compliance, vulnerability, and lifecycle management; monitoring, observability, and telemetry platforms; ITSM platforms (e.g., ServiceNow).
    • Automation and integration technologies: REST APIs, JSON/XML/YAML, NETCONF/RESTCONF/YANG, Python, Ansible, PowerShell, Terraform, Git, CI/CD, and experience building automated diagnostics, health checks, or remediation workflows.
    • This role does not require full-time software development, but candidates must understand automation design principles and work effectively with automation engineers and architects.
  • Willingness to travel up to 40-50% within your territory as required.
  • Manual Dexterity: Repetitive motion of wrists, hands and fingers for using a computer.
  • Stationary Tasks: Sitting for extended periods, remaining in a stationary position.

Preferred Expertise 

  • Previous experience with the NetBrain platform (Dynamic Maps, Path Analysis, Runbooks, Network Intents, Preventive Automation, Golden Assessments).
  • Background as a network architect, senior network engineer, automation engineer, infrastructure consultant, or operations leader, including building or leading an automation program or center of excellence.
  • Management or technology consulting/customer advisory experience - business cases, ROI analyses, executive presentations - plus familiarity with AI applications in network operations and ITIL practices.
  • Relevant certifications (CCNP, CCIE, JNCIP, JNCIE, PCNSE, AWS, Azure, ITIL, or equivalent) and experience with global customers and distributed teams.
