Requirements

5+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering with demonstrated depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple domains (virtualization, storage, networking, Windows Server administration).
Strong expertise in Microsoft Hyper-V at enterprise scale: failover clustering, live migration, storage spaces / S2D, virtual networking (Hyper-V virtual switch, SET), and Windows Server administration.
Strong proficiency in PowerShell scripting for infrastructure automation, host configuration management, WMI-based inventory collection, and operational tooling.
Demonstrated ability to audit performance of complex infrastructure architecture across the full stack and to maintain architecture artifacts (design documents, decision records, diagrams).
Experience with storage performance analysis and optimization in virtualized environments benchmarking, capacity planning, and storage policy design.
Ability to evaluate hardware BOMs for Hyper-V suitability assessing processor/memory ratios, storage I/O characteristics, network throughput, and overcommit profiles.
Experience with infrastructure automation and configuration management tools (DSC, SCCM, Ansible, or equivalent) at data center scale.
Experience advocating for and implementing infrastructure automation CI/CD pipelines, operational process improvement, and configuration-as-code with a focus on scalability versus resource use.
Track record of providing stewardship to other engineers through technical guidance, design review, and documentation.
Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills
Experience with Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) and Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) at enterprise scale.
Experience with additional hypervisors (VMware ESXi, KVM, etc.) production experience with dual-hypervisor environments are a plus.
Familiarity with server hardware architecture (Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC, NVMe storage, GPU accelerators) sufficient to evaluate hardware proposals for Hyper-V workload suitability.
Experience with network fabric integration in virtualized environments VLAN, SDN, load balancing, and network adapter teaming.
Working knowledge of C# / .NET for maintaining and extending infrastructure automation platforms.
Experience with Microsoft System Center (VMM, SCOM, SCCM) at enterprise scale.
Experience with security compliance remediation Qualys vulnerability management, break management, and security baseline enforcement.
Experience with performance testing frameworks (elbencho, VMFleet, diskspd, fio or similar) for storage and compute validation.
Familiarity with using generative AI tools to accelerate engineering and research cycles.
