Senior Systems Engineer

• The Senior Systems Engineer is a senior technical contributor responsible for the design, engineering, deployment, lifecycle management, and advanced support of enterprise private cloud infrastructure supporting a large, complex, multi-site environment.
• This position requires strong hands-on expertise with VMware vSphere and Nutanix AHV, including infrastructure design and build, cluster deployment, virtualization networking, lifecycle management, workload migrations, performance analysis, automation, and advanced troubleshooting.
• The engineer will independently lead complex infrastructure initiatives from requirements and design through implementation, validation, documentation, and transition to operations. The role requires the ability to work through ambiguous technical requirements, identify risk, develop appropriate solutions, and coordinate activities across infrastructure teams, application owners, vendors, and business stakeholders.
• The Senior Systems Engineer also serves as a senior escalation resource for production incidents and participates in an on-call rotation supporting business-critical infrastructure.
