  • Support and maintain services and systems before they go live and when in production, including monitoring availability, latency, performance, and overall system health
  • Contribute to systematic exploration, discovery, and recommendation of new and emerging technologies pertaining to VSEs' services
  • Create, update, and maintain documentation reflecting all virtual environments' architecture, configuration, and operation
  • Provide incident and ticket responses and participate in an On-Call rotation

  • Experience with scripting languages (e.g., JavaScript, Python, Bash, and PowerCLI)
  • Experience with Automation software (e.g., Ansible, Packer, Terraform, Azure Automation)
  • Experience with version control, GIT experience preferred
  • General knowledge of both networking and storage systems

Desired Qualifications
  • An interest in crafting, analyzing, and improving large-scale Virtual Environments
  • Familiar with Agile methodology and using Azure DevOps (ADO)
