About the Role
We are building the automation, orchestration, and monitoring layer to unify our virtualization and end-user computing estate into a single, software-managed platform. You will own the definition, design, implementation, and execution of the infrastructure that our business runs on, spanning on-premises virtualization, cloud, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI/HVD) across all stages from architecture through production operations. You will take high-level roadmaps and turn them into real technical execution: designing the platforms, building the automation that runs them, and being the hands-on expert who owns the outcome. You will ensure our virtual desktop and virtualization environments deliver on business requirements, stay highly available, and scale cleanly, moving fluidly between the whiteboard and the keyboard.
Responsibilities
- Own the design and implementation of our virtualization platforms (VMware ESXi, Nutanix) from planning through deployment, including capacity, performance, and lifecycle.
- Own the VDI/HVD estate end to end across AWS WorkSpaces, Omnissa Horizon, and Microsoft Windows 365 / Azure Virtual Desktop — architecture, provisioning, image management, and tuning.
- Build the automation and monitoring stack that provisions, patches, and manages infrastructure at scale, eliminating manual effort and configuration drift.
- Own hands-on Windows Server administration, and support Linux workloads as part of a mixed estate.
- Own resilient networking and cloud connectivity for infrastructure and desktop workloads (routing, DNS, load balancing, secure remote access).
- Turn early technical groundwork into functioning, deployed systems — and take them to production scale.
- Assist in managing on-premise datacenters.
- Run technical projects independently: migrations, platform rollouts, and modernization efforts from design through cutover.
- Interface with internal teams and external vendors, and manage third-party vendors on provisioning, maintenance, and break-fix support.
- Own the documentation, standards, runbooks, and security hardening that keep the platform reliable and auditable.
Requirements
- You’re a strong infrastructure engineer who thinks automation-first and can own the implementation details end to end.
- You’re as comfortable designing the platform as you are troubleshooting it live.
- You’d rather script a task once than do it by hand ten times.
- 7+ years of infrastructure engineering experience with strong systems-level technical judgment.
- Proven expertise in virtualization: VMware ESXi and Nutanix.
- Strong hands-on Windows Server administration, with working knowledge of Linux, networking, and cloud (AWS and/or Azure).
- Demonstrated VDI/HVD experience with one or more of: AWS WorkSpaces, Omnissa Horizon, Microsoft Windows 365 / Azure Virtual Desktop.
- An automation-first mindset — you build repeatable processes and tooling by default (e.g. PowerShell, Python, plus config management / IaC such as Ansible or Terraform).
- A track record of owning technical projects and driving them to completion at production scale.
- Observability instincts: monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting distributed environments.
- Strong communication — you ship fast, you explain clearly, and you move easily between design-level discussion and hands-on execution.
- Relevant certifications (VMware / Omnissa, Nutanix NCP, Microsoft, or AWS).
- Application virtualization and image / gold-build management (e.g. App Volumes, FSLogix).
- Infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD experience for delivering and managing infrastructure.
- Storage (SAN / NAS), backup, and disaster recovery design and operations.
- Experience using AI-assisted tooling to accelerate automation, scripting, and troubleshooting.
