Role Overview

The Hypervisor Engineer will lead the design, certification, and lifecycle management of Nutanix-based hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and VMware virtualization technologies in enterprise environments. This role requires deep expertise in Nutanix architecture and components, along with working knowledge of VMware for multi-platform support.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, certify, and optimize Nutanix HCI solutions and associated technologies (AHV, Prism, storage, DR)
• Manage and maintain all Nutanix components, ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture and security standards
• Support VMware virtualization stack (ESXi, vCenter, NSX, SRM) as part of hybrid HCI environments
• Implement and automate hypervisor administration, lifecycle management, and patching processes (VTC, RA, ITCM, VAT)
• Collaborate with architecture and operations teams for capacity planning, scalability, and performance tuning of HCI environments
• Ensure compliance with access management (AD groups, Priv ID, ITPA) and cybersecurity requirements (e.g., modern DR, Red Button, Cyber Recovery)
• Evaluate new HCI/virtualization technologies and recommend refresh or adoption strategies based on vendor lifecycle (EOL/EOSL)
• Create and maintain engineering documentation, templates, and certification processes for hypervisor deployments
• Provide guidance for troubleshooting, escalations, and transition planning with operational teams
• Develop a strong understanding of the client environment, tools, and engineering processes to ensure alignment with organizational structure and ways of working. Serve as the primary POC for branch site engineering activities, coordinating requirements, addressing site-specific challenges, and ensuring successful implementation of infrastructure solutions in collaboration with cross-functional teams.

OS Engineering – Windows & Linux

• Design and maintain OS build standards, golden images, and hardened configurations for Windows Server and RHEL.
• Plan and execute lifecycle management for OS platforms, including patching, upgrades, and EOL/EOSL transitions.
• Integrate OS configurations with Active Directory, Group Policies, Red Hat Satellite, and other enterprise tools.
• Implement and maintain OS-level security baselines, compliance policies, and vulnerability remediation processes.
• Develop and maintain automation playbooks/scripts (PowerShell, Ansible, Bash) for provisioning, patching, and configuration enforcement.
• Collaborate with application, security, and infrastructure teams for OS-level troubleshooting and performance optimization.

Required Skills

• Primary: Nutanix HCI (AHV, Prism, storage, DR, cluster management)
• Secondary: VMware technologies (ESXi, vCenter, SRM, NSX)
• Hypervisor automation and integration with enterprise ITSM tools
• Strong understanding of access control, compliance frameworks, and DR strategies for HCI environments
• Experience with multi-site virtualization deployments and capacity scaling
