Senior Compute Engineer Lead

Job Title:

Senior Compute Infrastructure Engineer Overview / Summary HTC Global Services is seeking an experienced Senior Compute Infrastructure Engineer to support a strategic engagement with a large regional integrated healthcare delivery system. The role will lead compute-layer discovery and assessment activities, contribute to the consolidated risk register and remediation roadmap, and transition into a lead technical role within the ongoing managed services model.

The engineer will support the client's transformation from an SOP-based operating model to a self-healing infrastructure model while working across hospital campuses, ambulatory practices, remote clinics, and vendor-hosted application dependencies.

Key Responsibilities Lead compute-layer discovery activities across physical servers, hypervisors, virtual machines, and supporting infrastructure in coordination with Network Discovery and Cloud Connectivity work streams. Operate discovery and inventory tools including Device
42, Lansweeper, Service Now Discovery, and comparable platforms to produce a standardized configuration item inventory. Assess virtualization platforms including VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, or comparable technologies, covering cluster sizing, resource utilization, HA/DRS configuration, snapshot posture, and management-plane health. Perform infrastructure assessments in healthcare, financial services, or other regulated environments. Review healthcare clinical application hosting patterns, including EMR/EHR hosting environments, PACS/imaging archive dependencies, and HL7/FHIR integration engine hosting.

Review server hardware lifecycle, firmware currency, BIOS/BMC posture, warranty status, and end-of-life/end-of-support risks. Assess operating system posture for Windows Server, Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu), and legacy platforms, including patch currency, support lifecycle, and standardized image alignment. Assess storage-related compute dependencies, including SAN/NAS connectivity, backup posture, and disaster recovery readiness at the hypervisor layer. Review clinical application hosting environments for server-level dependencies, performance, capacity, and platform standardization.

Contribute compute-specific findings to the consolidated risk register based on clinical impact and operational feasibility. Serve as a senior technical resource within the NOC Managed Services model, providing Tier 3 escalation support for complex compute and virtualization issues. Execute compute change management activities, including VM lifecycle management, hypervisor upgrades, cluster rebalancing, patching, and server refresh activities. Support the transition to a self-healing infrastructure model through compute-layer automation using Power Shell, Ansible, Terraform, runbook creation, and monitoring improvements.

Manage vulnerability reviews and patch planning for servers, hypervisors, and management-plane components. Collaborate with the client's Infrastructure Manager, Associate NOC Manager, and clinical application owners on change planning and clinical-window coordination. Contribute to weekly, monthly, and quarterly governance reporting through the Service Delivery Manager. Mentor junior compute engineers and NOC staff.

Required Qualifications 13–14 years of experience. Deep technical knowledge and hands-on experience with Server Administration, including Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, WSUS/SCCM, and Windows Failover Clustering. Deep expertise in virtualization using VMware vSphere (ESXi, vCenter, HA/DRS), Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, or comparable platforms, including cluster design, capacity planning, and operational troubleshooting.

Experience with discovery and inventory tools such as Device
42, Lansweeper, Service Now Discovery, or comparable platforms. Experience performing infrastructure assessments in healthcare, financial services, or other regulated environments. Familiarity with healthcare clinical application hosting patterns, including EMR/EHR, PACS/imaging archive, and HL7/FHIR integration engine hosting.

Experience with backup platforms such as Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik,…
