VMware Platform Engineer

We are looking for a VMware Platform Engineer to design, deploy, and operate VMware-based virtualization, software-defined networking, and software-defined storage platforms across on-premises and hybrid cloud environments. The role covers vSphere, vSAN, NSX, Aria, and Tanzu, with a focus on automation, capacity management, and the practical realities of operating a large VMware estate alongside modern cloud-native workloads.

Requirements

• Design and operate VMware vSphere, vSAN, and NSX environments across data centers and hybrid cloud deployments.
• Build and maintain Tanzu Kubernetes Grid environments for containerized workloads.
• Implement vRealize / Aria Automation for self-service VM provisioning, lifecycle management, and policy enforcement.

• Manage vSAN clusters, storage policies, and storage performance for diverse workload classes.
• Implement disaster recovery and business continuity using Site Recovery Manager and replication.
• Build automation for VMware infrastructure using PowerCLI, Terraform, Ansible, and vRO.
• Design capacity management strategies including right-sizing, reservation, and workload placement.
• Operate VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) deployments where applicable, applying lifecycle management, workload domain design, and integration patterns appropriate to the broader hybrid cloud strategy.
• Implement and operate VMware integrations with cloud providers (VMware Cloud on AWS, AVS, GCVE).
• Build observability for VMware infrastructure including performance, capacity, and compliance.
• Lead VMware upgrades, lifecycle management cycles, and security patching across the virtualization estate, planning carefully sequenced rollouts that minimize disruption to dependent workloads.
• Troubleshoot complex VMware issues spanning compute, network, and storage layers.
• Stay current with VMware product evolution following the Broadcom transition.
