Position Overview

The VMware ESXi Platform Engineer will support the maintenance, patching, upgrading and troubleshooting of a large enterprise virtualization environment

The engineer will execute maintenance through VMware vCenter and related lifecycle tooling, monitor each activity through completion and troubleshoot failed or incomplete changes. This is a hands-on engineering role requiring the ability to diagnose issues, make safe corrections and resume execution-not simply initiate automated jobs.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute ESXi 8 patching, vulnerability remediation and platform upgrades
• Plan, initiate, monitor and validate host and cluster maintenance through vCenter
• Diagnose failed updates using platform logs, events and task history
• Coordinate maintenance mode, host evacuation, remediation, reboot and return-to-service activities
• Validate cluster health, capacity, networking and storage dependencies before and after changes
• Document completed work, technical issues, validation evidence and next actions
• Provide complete handoffs so work can continue across regions
• Support future ESXi/vSphere 9 planning, testing and migration activities
• Participate in scheduled after-hours and weekend maintenance windows

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience administering VMware ESXi 8 and vCenter
• Experience with ESXi patching, lifecycle management, upgrades and vulnerability remediation
• Strong troubleshooting skills across VMware hosts and clusters
• Working knowledge of HA/DRS, maintenance mode, virtual networking and shared storage
• Experience working within formal change-management and incident-management processes
• Strong written communication and cross-region handoff discipline
• Ability to support the assigned regional shift and scheduled maintenance rotation

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to ESXi/vSphere 9
• PowerCLI, Python, Ansible or similar automation experience
• Experience supporting large enterprise virtualization environments
• VMware certification
• Experience within banking, financial services or another regulated industry

Tools and Technologies

• VMware ESXi 8 / vSphere
• VMware vCenter and lifecycle management tooling
• HA / DRS
• PowerCLI
• Ansible
• Python or similar scripting tools (preferred)
