About the role
- Total experience: 9+ years. • Strong experience in Virtualization, Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Automation, or Systems Engineering. • Must-have expertise in Hyper-V, VMware ESXi, or KVM-based platforms (OpenStack, Proxmox, oVirt, libvirt). • Strong experience designing and implementing hypervisor automation frameworks for provisioning and managing hosts and virtual machines at scale. • Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using declarative and idempotent automation practices. • Experience working with hypervisor-native APIs and automation tools such as vSphere API, PowerCLI, libvirt APIs, or equivalent. • Strong experience managing large-scale virtualization environments (hundreds to thousands of hosts). • Hands-on experience with bare-metal provisioning using PXE/iPXE, Kickstart, Autoinstall, or similar technologies. • Strong knowledge of BMC automation using Redfish APIs, iLO, iDRAC, or equivalent server management technologies. • Experience automating virtual networking, including vSwitches, Distributed Switches, Linux Bridge, Open vSwitch (OVS), VLANs, and VXLAN. • Experience with storage automation involving Datastores, LVM, ZFS, Ceph, or similar storage platforms. • Good understanding of Git-based Infrastructure as Code workflows, state management, modules, drift detection, and reconciliation. • Experience automating VM lifecycle management, including provisioning, cloning, snapshots, migration, image management, and template-based deployments. • Strong scripting/programming skills using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or Go for infrastructure automation. • Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, architectural design, communication, and stakeholder management skills. RESPONSIBILITIES: • Design, implement, and maintain scalable automation frameworks for provisioning and managing hypervisor hosts and virtual machines from bare-metal deployment through lifecycle management. • Build and enhance Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions to automate hypervisor configuration, VM provisioning, networking, and storage management. • Develop automation leveraging hypervisor-native APIs (vSphere, PowerCLI, libvirt, OpenStack, Proxmox, etc.) to manage infrastructure at scale. • Automate bare-metal server provisioning using PXE/iPXE, Kickstart, Autoinstall, and BMC technologies such as Redfish, iLO, and iDRAC. • Implement and manage virtual networking automation, including vSwitches, Distributed Switches, Linux Bridge, Open vSwitch (OVS), VLANs, and VXLAN. • Automate storage provisioning and lifecycle management for Datastores, LVM, ZFS, Ceph, and related storage platforms. • Design and implement Git-based Infrastructure as Code workflows, ensuring version control, drift detection, testing, and reconciliation before production changes. • Manage virtual machine lifecycle operations, including template creation, cloning, snapshots, migration, image management, and resource optimization. • Troubleshoot infrastructure, virtualization, networking, and automation issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement preventive improvements. • Collaborate with platform engineering, infrastructure, networking, and operations teams to deliver highly available, secure, and scalable virtualization platforms. • Contribute to architecture decisions, automation strategy, and platform modernization initiatives for enterprise virtualization environments. • Drive continuous improvements in infrastructure automation, operational efficiency, platform reliability, and engineering best practices.
