[MSO] Senior Infrastructure/Platform Engineer (VMware & NetApp)

Project – the aim you’ll have

We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with strong VMware and NetApp expertise to join a Dutch engineering team delivering private cloud services to government and regulated-market customers in the Netherlands. The client is a managed services provider operating that platform.

You will work on a large production environment, covering both day-to-day operations and larger infrastructure projects, in close cooperation with the client’s engineers in the Netherlands. We are looking for someone who takes ownership naturally: able to pick up a bigger problem or project, propose how to approach it, and carry it through to the end.

Role – how you’ll contribute

- Administer, maintain and troubleshoot the VMware (vSphere / ESXi) environment – vCenter, clusters, HA/DRS, vMotion - Manage and maintain NetApp storage – ONTAP administration, volume and LUN provisioning, NFS/iSCSI/CIFS, replication and snapshots - Run larger infrastructure projects and resolve complex technical problems independently - Handle day-to-day operational work: incidents, changes and service requests - Own capacity, performance and lifecycle management of the virtualisation and storage platforms, including patching and firmware upgrades - Run backup and restore operations, and verify that recovery actually works - Produce and maintain technical documentation and runbooks - Take part in the stand-by rota - Work directly with the client’s engineers in the Netherlands, including knowledge sharing in both directions

Expectations – the experience you need

- 10+ years in IT infrastructure support and projects - Strong hands-on experience with VMware (vSphere / ESXi) in production, including upgrades and lifecycle management - Hands-on experience with NetApp ONTAP in production - Ability to troubleshoot across the stack – compute, storage and network together – rather than within a single layer - SAN and Fibre Channel - Linux and Windows system administration - Backup and restore in a production environment - Scripting for automation (PowerShell or Python) - Experience working with ticketing and change management tooling (ServiceNow or equivalent) - Willingness to take part in a stand-by rota and to travel to the Netherlands for onboarding and knowledge sharing - English at C1 – the working language with the client

How you work with others:

- Takes ownership: picks up a problem or project, decides how to approach it, and sees it through without needing to be chased for progress - Keeps people informed: says where something stands, flags a delay early, and does not let a problem go quiet - Builds working relationships at a distance – most contact with the Dutch team is remote, so trust comes from reliability and clear communication rather than corridor conversations

Additional skills – the edge you have

- OpenStack or Proxmox, or a genuine willingness to learn both - VMware vSAN or Site Recovery Manager - Backup tooling such as Veeam - Infrastructure as code (Ansible, Terraform) - VMware (VCP) or NetApp (NCDA) certification - Any level of Dutch

What we offer:

- Flexible and remote cooperation options - International projects with leading global clients - Travels related to international projects - Non-corporate atmosphere - Access* to language classes - Access* to knowledge-sharing initiatives - Access* to private healthcare and life insurance - Access* to multisport card

*The availability and terms of individual benefits may vary depending on the chosen form of cooperation.
