VMware Engineer Automation

We have a client searching for an VMWare Engineer. This contract is 6-12 months in duration and 100% remote based.  Right now the majority of these candidates we've seen do not have requisite physical environment experience. We really need a VMWare engineer with ansible, puppet and chef. 

AUTOMATION ENGINEER

Team members for the Data Center Consolidation effort must have experience with at least the following:

• Automation of infrastructure delivery with configuration orchestration and management solutions (e.g. Ansible, Puppet, Terraform).

• Experience with Operating System hardening practices as well as methodologies for templating deployments from a set of standardized images.
• Linux and Windows systems engineering principles.
• Java application server (e.g. JBOSS EAP, Tomcat) implementation.
• Compute virtualization for both in-house developed and commercial off the shelf software leveraging VMware s technology stack and converged storage solutions utilizing Pure Storage.

Ideally, they will have experience with one or more of the following as well:

• DevOps principles and CI/CD solutions (e.g. GitLab, Jenkins).
• Software engineering with an emphasis on Java software development.
