About The Role

We're building the automation, orchestration, and monitoring layer that unifies our virtualization and end-user computing estate into a single, software-managed platform. You'll 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 every stage from architecture through production operations.

What You'll Do

• 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.

What You'll Bring

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, and you'd rather script a task once than do it by hand ten times. If virtualization and end-user computing is your jam and you've built and run systems in production, we want to talk.

• 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.

What Will Set You Apart

• 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-assis
