We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced VMware professional to join our team. We don't just need someone to help us deploy VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9; we need a seasoned expert who can take on the day-to-day operational responsibilities of our existing VMware environment. This will free up our team to collaborate with client and focus on optimizing the new VCF 9 deployment.

  • Performance Tuning: Fine-tune system performance to ensure optimal operation and efficiency.
  • Upgrades and Patching: Manage patching and upgrades using VMware Lifecycle Manager (vLCM).
  • Automation: Develop and maintain automation scripts and workflows to streamline operations and enhance efficiency. This includes working with PowerCLI, Python, REST APIs, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform and Ansible.
  • Integration: Ensure seamless integration with NSX-T and the Aria Suite.
  • Deployment Support: Assist in the deployment of VCF 9 by handling ongoing operational tasks, allowing the core team to focus on the new implementation.
  • Core VMware Platform Expertise:
    • Strong knowledge of vSphere 8, with a focus on advanced troubleshooting and performance tuning.
    • Expertise in vCenter Server and ESXi host administration.
    • Experience with storage policies, configuration, and monitoring.
    • Proficiency in configuring and managing DRS, HA, and vMotion.
  • Automation & Development:
    • Familiarity with event-driven automation using the VMware Event Broker Appliance (VEBA).
    • Hands-on experience with VMware automation tools and scripting languages such as PowerCLI, Python, and REST APIs.
    • Experience in VMware Aria Automation (formerly vRealize Automation) and blueprint development.
    • Familiarity with GitHub Actions and integrating CI/CD pipelines.
    • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and Ansible.
    • Experience with custom workflows in Aria Orchestrator (vRO).
    • Knowledge of credential rotation and secrets management via API.
