About the role

  • This hands-on role focuses on secure data transfer, infrastructure optimization, and day-to-day management of networking hardware, virtualization, and cloud workloads, with a strong bias toward automation and operational rigor.

Responsibilities

  • Own day-to-day operations of the VMware environment (vSphere/ESX/ESXi): lifecycle management, capacity, performance tuning, patching, upgrades, backup/DR coordination, and incident response.
  • Partner on the virtualization roadmap, including planning and execution for migration from VMware to Nutanix (or Nutanix-based platforms), minimizing downtime and risk.
  • Operate and optimize storage and compute platforms (e.g., Cisco UCS, SAN/NAS such as NetApp FAS/AFF, FlexPod), including performance troubleshooting and resilience planning.
  • Manage and optimize Microsoft Azure workloads: networking, compute, storage, security controls, cost optimization, and operational monitoring.
  • Build, deploy, and support Docker containerized applications and supporting infrastructure (registries, image hygiene, runtime security, scaling).
  • Implement and maintain load balancing solutions (L4/L7), including TLS configuration and operational monitoring.
  • Design, implement, and support enterprise data/voice/video networks across LAN/WAN/Wi-Fi.
  • Configure and support routing/switching and core network services (TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs, QoS, DHCP/DNS).
  • Security, Secure Transfers, and Compliance Support
  • Maintain secure internal and external data transfer mechanisms (e.g., SFTP/managed file transfer), including certificate/keys, access controls, and auditing.

Requirements

  • Strong, hands-on experience with Kubernetes, VMware (vSphere/ESX/ESXi), and Microsoft Azure (these are must-haves).
  • Proven experience designing/supporting enterprise networks: LAN/WAN/Wi-Fi, routing/switching, VPNs, QoS, and troubleshooting (packet capture/traffic analysis).
  • Firewall administration experience with one or more of SonicWall, Cisco ASA, and Palo Alto (policy, VPN, logging/triage).
  • Experience with virtualization operations and performance tuning (compute, storage, networking).

Nice to have

  • Bachelor's degree in a related field and significant datacenter operations experience.
  • Certifications such as CCNA/CCNP, VCP, Nutanix (NCP), Azure (AZ-104/AZ-305), Security+, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience with Cisco UCS, NetApp FAS/AFF, and FlexPod architectures in production environments.
  • Familiarity with IIS/Tomcat administration and email security tooling (e.g., SpamTitan).
  • Experience with tools such as Jira, Kace, SolarWinds, PRTG, Cerberus SFTP, Zerto, Trend Micro, WSUS, and related monitoring/endpoint/security platforms.
