Senior Infrastructure Engineer — Hyper-V Virtualization & Infrastructure Engineering

We're looking for a talented, senior engineering professional ready to take their career to new heights at one of the world's most influential companies.

You will engineer and operate enterprise-scale Microsoft Hyper-V virtual infrastructure across global data centers. You will apply depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple domains — hypervisor platforms, storage, networking, clustering, performance engineering, and security compliance — to deploy, optimize, and maintain virtual infrastructure that supports tens of thousands of workloads across multiple regions.

This role sits within the Compute Engineering team, which owns the full lifecycle of virtual infrastructure: hypervisor deployment and upgrade, cluster operations, performance engineering, storage optimization, workload management, and compliance remediation. A separate hardware engineering function handles server certification, firmware lifecycle management, and hardware lab validation. You will collaborate closely with hardware engineering — evaluating hardware BOMs for performance characteristics specific to Hyper-V and providing technical feedback — but your primary focus is the virtualization platform layer and above.

You will work across Windows Server and Hyper-V clustering, storage subsystems, and automation tooling — maintaining and extending a custom NET-based workload management platform as needed. You will provide stewardship to other engineers through technical guidance, peer review, and design documentation. Experience with Hyper-V at enterprise scale is a strong differentiator.

• Design and maintain Hyper-V cluster architectures including failover clustering, live migration, storage configuration, and network topology across global data center pools.
• Evaluate hardware BOMs proposed by hardware engineering for Hyper-V performance characteristics — processor/memory ratios, storage throughput, network bandwidth, and over commit suitability — and provide technical feedback to inform procurement decisions.
• Audit performance of complex virtual infrastructure across the full stack — compute, storage, networking, and hypervisor layers — and maintain architecture artifacts (high-level design documents, decision records, diagrams) using firmwide tooling.
• Develop and document reference architectures and best practices for Hyper-V cluster deployment, storage configuration, and workload placement.

• Create and maintain automation for virtual infrastructure lifecycle management — provisioning, configuration, patching, compliance enforcement, and decommissioning of Hyper-V workloads — using Power Shell, WMI, and the team's . NET-based workload management platform.
• Write Power Shell scripts for host configuration management, inventory collection, cluster operations, and firmware deployment across the Hyper-V fleet.
• Maintain and extend the existing C# / .NET 8 workload management platform as needed — including the server-side orchestration API, distributed worker engine, and Windows client agent components.
• Provide stewardship to other engineers in support of quality delivery — peer reviewing automation scripts, infrastructure designs, and technical documentation.
• Advocate for and implement infrastructure automation, identifying opportunities to automate, combine, or simplify operational processes with a focus on scalability versus resource use.
• Develop and maintain automation for Hyper-V host configuration, cluster provisioning, rolling upgrades, and compliance enforcement using Power Shell DSC, scripts, and the team's workload management platform.
• Support and evolve CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure automation tooling, including multi-environment deployment and automated testing.

• Plan and execute Hyper-V cluster upgrades, Windows Server rolling upgrades, and hypervisor patch rollouts across production environments with zero or minimal downtime.
• Troubleshoot production issues across the virtual infrastructure stack — hypervisor, clustering, storage, and networking layers — using structured logging, event tracing, performance counters, and vendor diagnostic tools.
• Consider all…
