Your Mission 

As a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at SADA Specializing in Google Cloud VMware Engine, you will work collaboratively to deliver high-quality infrastructure projects on Google Cloud Platform, with an emphasis on solutions involving Networking, Security, Storage technologies, for our Cloud and hybrid-Cloud customers. You will have an opportunity to work on real-world problems facing our customers in the field. Engagements vary from being purely consultative to requiring heavy hands-on work, and cover a range of domain areas, such as workload migrations from on-premises or other Clouds to GCP, standing up production ready  infrastructure on GCP, building hybrid-cloud solutions leveraging infrastructure-as-code automation, and developing fully automated CI/CD pipelines. Moreover, you will be someone who will drive thought leadership, delivering best practice recommendations for internal and external solutions. 

Our GCVE Specialist promotes Google's VMWare as a Service offering, accelerating Google Cloud adoption. In this role, you will be mapping existing VMware hosted SDDC architectures to Google Cloud. The ideal candidate will have hands-on knowledge of VMware SDDC routing and switching, application networking, and security.  

You possess a diverse background in areas such as architecture design, distributed systems, infrastructure migration, and deployment strategies.

Pathway to Success 

#MakeThemRave is at the foundation of every project our engineering teams take on. Our singular goal is to provide customers with the best possible experience in migrating, building, modernizing, and operationalizing their systems in Google Cloud Platform. 

Your success starts by positively impacting the direction of a dynamic practice with vision and passion. You will be measured quarterly by the breadth, magnitude, and quality of your contributions, your ability to estimate accurately, customer feedback at the close of projects, how well you collaborate with your peers, and the consultative polish you bring to customer interactions.
