• Strong hands‑on experience with hypervisors, including VMware and/or Nutanix AHV.
• Proven experience with storage platforms, data migration, and consolidation initiatives.
• Experience with backup and recovery solutions, preferably Cohesity or similar platforms (Rubrik, Veeam, Commvault).
• Familiarity with object storage solutions such as Wasabi, AWS S3, or Azure Blob.
• Solid understanding of compute, storage, and virtualization performance tuning.
• Experience troubleshooting infrastructure issues across servers, storage, and virtualization layers.
• Strong knowledge of networking fundamentals (IP, DNS, VLANs, ports, firewalls).
• Ability to support both project‑based work and day‑to‑day operations in a fast‑paced environment.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross‑functionally with internal teams.

• Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) or Nutanix Certified Advanced Professional (NCAP).
• VMware Certified Professional (VCP).
• Cohesity Certified Administrator (CCA) or equivalent backup certification.
