## Description

The Software Engineering team delivers next-generation application enhancements and new products for a changing world. Working at the cutting edge, we design and develop software for platforms, peripherals, applications and diagnostics - all with the most advanced technologies, tools, software engineering methodologies and the collaboration of internal and external partners., As a Principal DevOps / Software Engineer, you will architect, build, and evolve the cloud automation, orchestration, and platform capabilities that power our global development ecosystem. You will work deeply within our VMware-based infrastructure stack, spanning Aria Automation, Aria Operations, VCF, ESXi, and vCenter, while driving modernization toward next-generation VCF Operations and AI-enabled orchestration frameworks.

You will partner closely with our software engineering Scrum teams to deliver resilient, intelligent, and scalable automation services that enhance developer productivity, streamline reservation and deployment workflows, and maintain the reliability of critical DevOps tool chains. Your leadership will influence both technology strategy and hands-on implementation across complex hybrid-cloud environments.

You will:

 * Design, implement, and evolve cloud automation and orchestration workflows for VMware-based platforms, including Aria Automation/Operations and emerging VCF Operations
 * Architect and maintain integrations with ServiceNow, reservation systems, deployment services, and asset management platforms supporting global engineering teams
 * Develop, enhance, and maintain automation pipelines and services supporting virtual and physical asset provisioning
 * Lead modernization initiatives as Aria is modernized, transitioning orchestration capabilities into new VCF-based platforms and intelligent automation ecosystems
 * Create automation frameworks, APIs, and services enabling self-service provisioning, developer tooling, and global platform operations
 * Collaborate closely within Agile/SCRUM teams to design high-quality automation, observability, and platform capabilities aligned with product engineering needs
 * Drive architectural discussions, document solutions, and mentor engineering peers in DevOps engineering, platform automation, and VMware-centered cloud technologies
 * Champion secure-by-design engineering practices, reliable CI/CD methodologies, and scalable operational patterns across the stack
