Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # VMware Cloud Engineer - **Company:** Schuberg Philis - **Location:** Schiphol-Rijk, Netherlands - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Microsoft Windows, System Configuration, Data Centers, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Linux Servers, NetApp Applications, Storage Virtualization, VCloud, Virtualization Technology, VMware VSphere, Infrastructure Automation Frameworks, Terraform, Cisco, Vmware - **Published:** July 15, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.nl/details/5751369248 ## About the Role You know VMware's private cloud stack inside out. You've built environments from scratch, and you understand the difference between setting something up and truly owning it. You have an everything-as-code mindset and you're comfortable in environments where security and compliance aren't afterthoughts - they're baked in from the start. You also communicate fluently in Dutch. All documentation, client interaction and team communication happens in Dutch, and that won't change. Must-haves: * Extensive hands-on experience with VMware VCF, including vSphere, NSX and vSAN * Strong knowledge of resilient, multi-tenant private cloud infrastructure * Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and/or Chef * Experience working in high-security environments * Familiarity with physical networking and storage - whether that's Aruba, Cisco, Arista or NetApp, we care more about your depth of understanding than the specific vendor logo on the hardware * Fluency in Dutch - mandatory Nice to have: * Affinity with or experience in OT environments (e.g. SCADA, industrial automation, water or energy sector) * Knowledge of relevant compliance frameworks such as IEC 62443, BIO or ISO 27001 * Experience hardening, configuring and managing Windows and/or Linux servers for hosting and deploying VM workloads * VMware certifications, e.g. VCP-DCV (VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization) ## Description Our customer is a Dutch water authority responsible for wastewater treatment across 19 locations throughout the Netherlands. Their IT and OT environments are currently intertwined and, on top of that, the systems that keep clean water flowing need to become increasingly automated. We are building the foundation for that future: a sovereign private cloud platform based on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9, deployed across two active-active datacenters - one at the customer's site, one in a colocation facility. The platform uses NSX to achieve logical IT/OT separation and vSAN for storage. Once the core platform is stable, it will be extended to all 19 operational locations. In this role, you will: * Design, build and continuously improve a resilient, secure, multi-tenant private cloud platform * Implement and maintain logical IT/OT separation using NSX, ensuring compliance with applicable frameworks * Automate infrastructure deployment and configuration using Infrastructure as Code tooling * Contribute to the physical infrastructure setup in both datacenters during the initial build phase - together with your team, not as a lone ranger * Support workload migrations and transformations once the platform is ready for use * Help evolve the platform's run operations as the engagement matures This is not a role for someone who wants to manage what others have built. You'll be in the mix from the start - racking hardware in Zwolle one day, writing Terraform modules the next. ## Related Videos - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Unlocking the potential of Digital & IT at Vodafone](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/602-unlocking-the-potential-of-digital-it-at-vodafone) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [Generating code with Angular schematics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/129-generating-code-with-angular-schematics) - [Computer Vision from the Edge to the Cloud done easy](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/263-computer-vision-from-the-edge-to-the-cloud-done-easy) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) ## Related Articles - [How to land a developer job in Amsterdam](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/36-how-to-land-a-developer-job-in-amsterdam) - [Best Companies in the Netherlands: Top 25 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/193-best-companies-in-the-netherlands-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [How to Find Tech Jobs in Amsterdam](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/279-how-to-find-tech-jobs-in-amsterdam) - [The Netherlands – Europe’s powerhouse for software development?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/31-the-netherlands-europe-s-powerhouse-for-software-development) - [Software Developer Salary in The Netherlands [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/217-software-developer-salary-in-the-netherlands-2023) - [The Best Tech Hubs in Europe: 5 Best Cities For Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/246-the-best-tech-hubs-in-europe-5-best-cities-for-software-engineers)
