This reads like a hands-on VMware / Windows Infrastructure Engineer brought in to help the customer stand up their new VMware environment, migrate workloads from Hyper-V, and build the operational capability to manage it going forward.
I would position it as Senior Systems Engineer – VMware & Windows Infrastructure rather than a VMware Architect. They need someone who can design where necessary, but more importantly, actually execute the deployment and migration work.
Senior Systems Engineer – VMware & Windows Infrastructure
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Systems Engineer to support the implementation and operationalization of a new VMware environment. The engineer will work closely with VMware Professional Services and the internal infrastructure team to deploy the platform, migrate existing virtual machines from Hyper-V to VMware, and establish ongoing VMware administration and operational practices.
This role requires someone who can go beyond advisory work and actively configure, deploy, migrate, troubleshoot, and manage the environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Support implementation and configuration of the new VMware virtualization environment
- Partner with VMware Professional Services during initial deployment and knowledge transfer
- Plan and execute VM migrations from Microsoft Hyper-V to VMware
- Deploy and configure VMware virtual machines and supporting infrastructure
- Create and maintain VM templates and standardized deployment processes
- Perform ongoing VMware, Hyper-V, and Windows Server administration
- Support patching, upgrades, troubleshooting, and platform maintenance
- Help the team adopt and utilize additional VMware platform capabilities
- Establish operational procedures and VMware administration best practices
- Provide hands-on knowledge transfer to internal infrastructure resources
Required Experience
- Strong hands-on experience with VMware vSphere / ESXi and vCenter
- Experience implementing or significantly expanding VMware environments
