Our Columbus, Ohio client is growing their infrastructure team and has a contract-to-hire opportunity for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer – Citrix who will own the Citrix platform—not just keep the lights on, but drive it forward. As the Senior Infrastructure Engineer for Citrix and Digital Work spaces, you’ll architect and operate CVAD, ADC/Net Scaler, and Citrix Cloud at scale, lead performance and modernization initiatives, and be the Tier 3/4 anchor when things get genuinely hard.

On-site expectations are on-site Monday through Thursday and remote on Fridays.

This role requires deep expertise across Citrix technologies—including a clear-eyed view on where CVAD on-prem ends and Citrix DaaS / cloud-hosted delivery begins—alongside strong adjacent skills in virtualization, hybrid cloud, identity, and observability. If you get satisfaction from a fast logon, a clean ADC policy, and a session that never drops, we want to talk.

• Architect, deploy, and maintain Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (CVAD), Citrix ADC (Net Scaler), Citrix Cloud services, Store Front or Workspace integration, and related components for resilient application and desktop delivery.
• Diagnose and remediate complex performance issues including ICA latency, HDX/EDT protocol behavior, profile and FSLogix/container issues, session reliability, and application publishing conflicts; tune Workspace Environment Management (WEM) policies for logon optimization and resource management.
• Ensure high availability, reliability, and scalability of Citrix and dependent services.

• Deliver hybrid infrastructure services across on-premises and cloud (Azure/AWS) aligned to organizational standards.
• Administer VMware vSphere including clusters, host optimization, resource pools, and virtual networking for Citrix workloads.
• Oversee SAN/NAS provisioning, replication, and performance tuning for session hosts and user data patterns.
• Support enterprise backup and recovery platforms (for example Veritas, Commvault, Rubrik) for Citrix and infrastructure targets.

• Evaluate and optimize resource utilization across on-premises and cloud platforms.
• Implement cloud governance strategies for spending and workload lifecycle.
• Recommend cost-saving strategies for compute, storage, and cloud consumption.
• Analyze trends and propose improvements to service efficiency and availability.

• Maintain compliance with organizational, industry, and regulatory standards.
• Implement patch management strategies across Citrix, virtualization, and operating systems.
• Monitor and remediate vulnerabilities across on-premises and cloud workloads.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity on secure architecture, endpoint protection, and threat mitigation.
• Participate in business continuity and disaster recovery planning and testing.

• Serve as subject matter expert for Citrix and related infrastructure technologies.
• Provide Tier 3/4 support for critical incidents and complex technical issues.
• Mentor junior staff and shape best practices across IT operations.
• Lead infrastructure projects, migrations, and modernization initiatives.

• Monitor health and performance across Citrix, VMware, storage, and cloud platforms.
• Analyze usage trends to forecast capacity and plan scaling.
• Implement observability for proactive detection and clear escalation paths.
• Maintain architecture diagrams, SOPs, runbooks, dashboards, and stakeholder-ready RCAs.

• Collaborate with application teams, security, network engineers, and business units.
• Participate in architectural reviews with actionable recommendations.
• Communicate impact and trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Align infrastructure strategies with organizational goals and future-state architecture.
