We are seeking a highly skilled Infrastructure and virtualization engineer specialized in data center tecnologies, to take technical ownership of the client's infrastructure, with the immediate primary task of designing and executing a large-scale data center move.
You will be the bridge between high-level platform design and ticket-level operational execution. You will be responsible for defining hardware standards, ensuring high availability, and maintaining the health of the Hyper-V environment. If you enjoy the challenge of complex migrations and take pride in "owning" the platform you build, this role is for you.
Lead the Data Center Move: Design the physical and logical migration paths, ensuring minimal downtime and architectural integrity during the transition.
Architect & Standardize: Create and maintain standardized host templates (CPU density, memory ratios, NIC/HBA layouts) for both shared and dedicated environments.
Capacity & Lifecycle Management: Lead capacity planning, consolidation strategies, and EOL (End-of-Life) planning to ensure platforms scale efficiently.
Operational Execution: Act as the technical specialist within the Operations team. This includes picking up tickets, troubleshooting complex outages, and participating in the on-call rotation (one week every three weeks). Provides technical ownership and responsibility during outages and complex troubleshooting.
Collaborative Design: Work alongside external consultants and project managers to validate designs and ensure hardware choices align with automation and patching goals.
Deep Hypervisor Expertise: Expert-level knowledge of Hyper-V architecture (beyond simple VM creation). You must understand how hardware choices impact hypervisor performance and consolidation.
Enterprise Server Architecture: Proven experience in designing virtualization-aware hardware layouts and maintaining standardized templates.
Storage Platforms: Strong knowledge of Fiber Channel-based storage, including performance tiering, scalability tradeoffs, and cost-benefit analysis for long-term consolidation.
Network Architecture: High-level understanding of multi-NIC layouts, awareness of management, backbone, customer traffic and their operational and security implications
Hands-on Mentality: Mandatory experience in live production environments. You must be comfortable moving from a design whiteboard to solving a high-priority ticket.
Contractual Awareness: Experience working within the constraints of SLAs and customer-facing platforms.
Technical Ownership: You are the person who steps up during outages and complex troubleshooting scenarios.
Communication: Excellent English communication skills, with the ability to explain technical complexities to non-technical clients and stakeholders.
Collaboration: Ability to work with external consultants without losing technical ownership of the internal environment.
