  • Storage: Local SANs at remote sites, plus 2 large production and backup data centers
  • Dell servers and storage throughout
  • Managed centrally via 1 vCenter instance
  • Lean team autonomy and flexibility required

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience managing VMware environments, preferably vSphere/ESXi 7 or 8
  • Experience supporting small to mid-sized infrastructure environments
  • Comfortable working in lean, agile teams (non-enterprise settings)
  • Strong communication and troubleshooting skills
  • Self-motivated, resourceful, and able to pick up new systems and technologies
  • Comfortable taking initiative and working independently with minimal oversight

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with Dell hardware and SAN storage systems
  • Familiarity with managing satellite offices and remote site infrastructure
  • Exposure to environments with a mix of Windows/Linux guest systems

Work Arrangement:

  • Hybrid: 2 3 days onsite in Dallas Fort Worth
