Senior Infrastructure Engineer

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering with demonstrated depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple domains (virtualization, storage, networking, Windows Server administration).
• Strong expertise in Microsoft Hyper-V at enterprise scale: failover clustering, live migration, storage spaces / S2D, virtual networking (Hyper-V virtual switch, SET), and Windows Server administration.
• Strong proficiency in Power Shell scripting for infrastructure automation, host configuration management, WMI-based inventory collection, and operational tooling.
• Demonstrated ability to audit performance of complex infrastructure architecture across the full stack and to maintain architecture artifacts (design documents, decision records, diagrams).
• Experience with storage performance analysis and optimization in virtualized environments — benchmarking, capacity planning, and storage policy design.
• Ability to evaluate hardware BOMs for Hyper-V suitability — assessing processor/memory ratios, storage I/O characteristics, network throughput, and over commit profiles.
• Experience with infrastructure automation and configuration management tools (DSC, SCCM, Ansible, or equivalent) at data center scale.
• Experience advocating for and implementing infrastructure automation — CI/CD pipelines, operational process improvement, and configuration-as-code — with a focus on scalability versus resource use.
• Track record of providing stewardship to other engineers through technical guidance, design review, and documentation.
• Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.

• Experience with Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) and Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) at enterprise scale.
• Experience with additional hypervisors (VMware ESXi, KVM, etc.) — production experience with dual-hypervisor environments are a plus.
• Familiarity with server hardware architecture (Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC, NVMe storage, GPU accelerators) sufficient to evaluate hardware proposals for Hyper-V workload suitability.
• Experience with network fabric integration in virtualized environments — VLAN, SDN, load balancing, and network adapter teaming.
• Working knowledge of C# / .NET for maintaining and extending infrastructure automation platforms.
• Experience with Microsoft System Center (VMM, SCOM, SCCM) at enterprise scale.
• Experience with security compliance remediation — Qualys vulnerability management, break management, and security baseline enforcement.
• Experience with performance testing frameworks (elbencho, VMFleet, diskspd, fio or similar) for storage and compute validation.
• Familiarity with using generative AI tools to accelerate engineering and research cycles.

• 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…
