## Description

We are seeking a highly skilled VDI Connector Developer to design, develop, and integrate custom APIs and orchestration layers that connect multi-vendor Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) ecosystems. In this role, you will build and optimize integration plug-ins, integration scripts, and connectors that bridge Citrix Virtual Apps & Desktops (DaaS), Omnissa/VMware Horizon, and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI/AHV). You will work closely with architecture, infrastructure, and virtualization automation teams to ensure unified control-plane operations, automated workload provisioning, and cross-platform desktop streaming optimizations., * Connector & API Development: Design, build, and maintain custom integration connectors, plug-ins, and wrapper APIs to orchestrate workflows between Citrix Studio/Director, Horizon Connection Servers, and Nutanix Prism Central/Element.

 * Infrastructure Automation: Develop dynamic scaling solutions and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates for just-in-time desktop provisioning, image replication, and catalog sync across Nutanix AHV.
 * Cross-Platform Lifecycle Engineering: Build tools and automated scripts to manage master image/golden template conversion, profile roaming (e.g., Citrix Profile Management, Omnissa App Volumes, FSLogix), and session brokering across mixed environments.
 * Performance & Event Monitoring Optimization: Expose and consume deep monitoring metrics (IOPS, bandwidth, network latency) by integrating Nutanix AHV performance layers with Citrix Director or Horizon Analytics engines.
 * Integration Support (Tier 3/4): Troubleshoot deep system fault layers, API mismatch issues, SSL thumbprint validation mismatches, and networking handshake failures between the VDI planes and the hypervisor layer.
