Infrastructure Engineer-Hyper-V

• Strong understanding of Site Reliability Engineering principles and operational excellence.
• Experience with infrastructure reliability, service availability, resiliency, and performance optimization.
• Storage Space Direct and failover clustering technical expertise. (Storage Spaces Direct enables you to build highly available, software-defined storage by pooling local disks (SSDs, NVMe drives, and HDDs) across multiple Windows Server nodes in a cluster. Instead of relying on an external SAN, S2D uses the servers’ local storage to create a resilient shared storage pool)
• Experience managing production-critical infrastructure environments with high availability requirements.
• Experience with incident management, problem management, RCA, and continuous operational improvement.
• Knowledge of monitoring, observability, alerting, and performance management.

Microsoft Hyper-V (Core Expertise)

• Deep hands-on expertise in Microsoft Hyper-V architecture, deployment, administration, troubleshooting, and optimization.
• Extensive experience in operating enterprise private cloud environments on Hyper-V.
• Strong experience supporting enterprise-scale VDI deployments on Hyper-V.
• Hyper-V Failover Clustering and high-availability architecture.
• Storage integration including SAN, NAS, Storage Spaces Direct (S2D), Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV), and storage optimization.
• Networking within Hyper-V environments including virtual switches, VLANs, NIC Teaming, QoS, and network performance tuning.
• System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM).

Automation & Platform Engineering

• Strong PowerShell scripting and automation experience.
• Experience automating infrastructure deployment, operational tasks, health checks, and reporting.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code concepts and configuration management.
• Experience developing reusable operational tooling to improve reliability and reduce manual effort.
