You will apply depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple domains - hypervisor platforms, storage, networking, clustering, performance engineering, and security compliance - to deploy, optimize, and maintain virtual infrastructure that supports tens of thousands of workloads across multiple regions.

This role sits within the Compute Engineering team, which owns the full lifecycle of virtual infrastructure: hypervisor deployment and upgrade, cluster operations, performance engineering, storage optimization, workload management, and compliance remediation. A separate hardware engineering function handles server certification, firmware lifecycle management, and hardware lab validation. You will collaborate closely with hardware engineering - evaluating hardware BOMs for performance characteristics specific to Hyper-V and providing technical feedback - but your primary focus is the virtualization platform layer and above. You will work across Windows Server and Hyper-V clustering, storage subsystems, and automation tooling - maintaining and extending a custom .NET-based workload management platform as needed. You will provide stewardship to other engineers through technical guidance, peer review, and design documentation. Experience with Hyper-V at enterprise scale is a strong differentiator.

Job Responsibilities

Architecture & Systems Design

• Design and maintain Hyper-V cluster architectures including failover clustering, live migration, storage configuration, and network topology across global data center pools.

• Evaluate hardware BOMs proposed by hardware engineering for Hyper-V performance characteristics - processor/memory ratios, storage throughput, network bandwidth, and overcommit suitability - and provide technical feedback to inform procurement decisions.

• Audit performance of complex virtual infrastructure across the full stack - compute, storage, networking, and hypervisor layers - and maintain architecture artifacts (high-level design documents, decision records, diagrams) using firmwide tooling.

• Develop and document reference architectures and best practices for Hyper-V cluster deployment, storage configuration, and workload placement.

Coding

• Create and maintain automation for virtual infrastructure lifecycle management - provisioning, configuration, patching, compliance enforcement, and decommissioning of Hyper-V workloads - using PowerShell, WMI, and the team’s .NET-based workload management platform.

• Write PowerShell scripts for host configuration management, inventory collection, cluster operations, and firmware deployment across the Hyper-V fleet.

• Maintain and extend the existing C# / .NET 8 workload management platform as needed - including the server-side orchestration API, distributed worker engine, and Windows client agent components.

• Provide stewardship to other engineers in support of quality delivery - peer reviewing automation scripts, infrastructure designs, and technical documentation.

Automation & Continuous Delivery

• Advocate for and implement infrastructure automation, identifying opportunities to automate, combine, or simplify operational processes with a focus on scalability versus resource use.

• Develop and maintain automation for Hyper-V host configuration, cluster provisioning, rolling upgrades, and compliance enforcement using PowerShell DSC, scripts, and the team’s workload management platform.

• Support and evolve CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure automation tooling, including multi-environment deployment and automated testing.

Distributed Systems Design & Development

• Plan and execute Hyper-V cluster upgrades, Windows Server rolling upgrades, and hypervisor patch rollouts across production environments with zero or minimal downtime.

• Troubleshoot production issues across the virtual infrastructure stack - hypervisor, clustering, storage, and networking layers - using structured logging, event tracing, performance counters, and vendor diagnostic tools.

• Consider all risks, potential environmental impacts, and FinOps implications when designing and implementing infrastructure changes.

Data Fluency

• Identify appropriate data sources and apply appropriate methodologies when making data-based recommendations for capacity planning, performance optimization, and hardware procurement decisions.

• Conduct storage and compute performance benchmarking using industry and internal tooling (e.g., elbencho, VMFleet, diskspd) to validate hardware configurations and inform deployment decisions.

• Deliver against defined SLOs and SLAs; track and reduce events leading to errors or risks.

Cross-Functional

• Collaborate with hardware engineering on server platform evaluation, providing Hyper-V-specific performance requirements and validation feedback.

• Collaborate with vendor partners (Microsoft) on Hyper-V roadmap alignment, feature adoption, and escalation support.

• Collaborate effectively across infrastructure engineering, operations, security, and capacity planning teams.

• 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.
