Salary: $151,000 - 218,950 per year Requirements:

• We want a strong virtualization engineering background, including experience managing enterprise-scale hypervisor platforms across Linux and Windows environments.
• We look for deep infrastructure expertise with hands-on experience in both public and private cloud environments.
• We need experience leading a high-performing technical engineering team as a technical engineering manager, rather than a purely people-focused manager.
• We seek working knowledge of VMware and a proven ability to lead large-scale migrations to Nutanix AHV or similar platforms.
• We require Kubernetes and container platform experience at enterprise scale.
• We need the ability to drive IT transformation with a focus on automation and modernized service delivery.
• We look for experience building automated, self-service IT delivery solutions, such as Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, and self-service portals.
• We value familiarity with Linux RHEL and Windows Server lifecycle management, operating system standards, and patching at scale.
• We want demonstrated proficiency in artificial intelligence concepts, hands-on use of AI tools to improve workflows and operational efficiency, and the ability to implement AI-enabled solutions to solve business problems.
• We look for a growing awareness of AI risk management and a commitment to responsible, ethical AI use.
• A bachelors degree is preferred, though equivalent professional experience may be considered in place of a degree.

• We will lead, coach, and develop a global team of senior engineers across virtualization, operating system, and container disciplines.
• We will guide the multi-year migration from VMware to Nutanix AHV as the primary hypervisor platform, overseeing end-to-end execution across thousands of production machines.
• We will assess emerging technologies and recommend solutions based on cost, risk, and scalability to support our hybrid cloud strategy.
• We will ensure the availability, performance, and security of virtualization, operating system, and container platforms across two US datacenters and more than 15 remote sites worldwide.
• We will oversee patching, upgrades, hardware refreshes, capacity planning, and root-cause analysis and remediation for incidents and outages.
• We will promote infrastructure automation and self-service using tools such as PowerCLI, Ansible, Terraform, Nutanix Cloud Manager, or equivalent technologies.
• We will partner with senior stakeholders in storage, network, cloud, security, and application teams, including Ratings, Analytics and Data, and Risk Management Solutions, to align platform capabilities with workload needs.
• We will establish and maintain operational metrics, dashboards, and reporting, and support audit, risk, and compliance activities as needed.
