IT -Staff Systems Engineer - VM

What You'll Do

• Design and maintain infrastructure-as-code (IaC) solutions using Terraform and Ansible to automate provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management of compute, storage, and networking resources • Write and maintain Python and Bash automation scripts to reduce manual operational overhead, integrate tooling, and support CI/CD pipelines • Build and manage CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions or equivalent tooling to automate infrastructure deployments, enforce policy-as-code, and streamline testing and validation workflows • Administer and optimize virtualization platforms including Nutanix (AHV, Prism, AOS), KVM, and VMware vSphere/ESXi, ensuring performance, availability, and capacity targets are met • Support hybrid cloud operations across AWS and/or Azure, integrating on-premises infrastructure with cloud services using automation-first practices • Contribute to infrastructure design discussions, providing input on architecture decisions related to automation, virtualization, HCI, and cloud integration • Monitor infrastructure health using observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog), respond to incidents, and drive root-cause analysis and remediation • Develop and maintain documentation for automation frameworks, runbooks, and infrastructure standards to ensure operational consistency and knowledge sharing • Participate in security and compliance reviews, applying hardening practices and policy-as-code across infrastructure pipelines • Mentor junior engineers through pair programming, code review, and knowledge transfer, contributing to team growth and a culture of automation-first thinking REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS • 5–8 years of experience in infrastructure engineering with a strong emphasis on automation and infrastructure-as-code • Expert-level proficiency in Terraform — writing modular, reusable HCL configurations for multi-environment deployments • Solid hands-on experience with Ansible for configuration management, idempotent playbook development, and role-based automation • Proficiency in Python for automation scripting, tooling development, and API integration; Bash scripting for operational tasks • Production-level experience with at least two of the following virtualization platforms: Nutanix (AHV/Prism/AOS), KVM/QEMU, VMware vSphere/ESXi • Familiarity with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins) and GitOps workflows for infrastructure automation • Working knowledge of AWS or Azure, including compute, networking, IAM, and hybrid connectivity (VPN, Direct Connect / ExpressRoute) is an advantage. • Foundational networking knowledge: VLANs, routing, DNS, load balancing, and firewall rules in virtualized environments • Experience with GitHub or GitHub Enterprise for version control, branching strategies, and pull-request-based workflows • Strong communication skills and ability to produce clear technical documentation, runbooks, and architecture diagrams We’re doing work that matters.
