VMWARE CLOUD FOUNDATION ENGINEER

Role: VMWARE CLOUD FOUNDATION ENGINEER

Duration: 6 month contract potential extensions

Location: Onsite - Atlanta, GA or Lakeland, FL.

This role leans more toward a VMware infrastructure engineer with practical automation capability. Expectation is they can use common tools (GitHub, Ansible, Terraform), read and understand existing code, and execute or make updates as needed-leveraging AI where it makes sense. They should understand the platform objects they are working against (VCF/vSphere) and how to interact with core services (e.g., directory services, DNS, etc.), using automation to streamline operations and integrations. This is not a pure platform engineering/IaC role-more of an infrastructure engineer who can operationally leverage automation effectively within the environment.

• VCF PowerCLI knowledge would be optimal for reading and executing safely. However, we do not use vRealize Automation in our environment. Operational familiarity with Ansible, Terraform, and Python is useful along with being comfortable working with JSON files.
• Must have upgrade and maintenance experience across all VCF components , including HCX and Site Recovery Manager. Administrative experience is also required for all products except for NSX-T, vRNI, and vDefend, which fall under the Network, Network Segmentation, and Security teams. However, we do assist with upgrades and maintenance of these appliances.
• Approximately 80% or more of the role is focused on executing planned work developed by client's associates, along with handling Tier 1 incidents and unplanned ad hoc work. The remaining ~20% is focused on improving current processes & documentation, usually identified during execution of the day-to-day work.

Requirement : Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field or equivalent combination of industry-related professional experience and education.
