Role OverviewYou'll own the architecture and day-to-day health of a VMware vSphere estate of more than 2,000 virtual machines across two disconnected DoD enclaves in Chantilly, VA. You'll lead a host consolidation and refresh that moves the environment onto fewer, denser hosts in a smaller footprint, without disrupting the test events the program depends on.
What You Will Do
Lead design and operation of vSphere 8 clusters, vCenter, vSAN and NSX across two enclaves, plan and run a consolidation and right-sizing program, plan the path from vSphere 8 to VMware Cloud Foundation 9, automate VM builds and configuration with Terraform, Packer and Ansible in GitLab CI, keep hosts and VMs patched and STIG-compliant, and support RMF evidence for authorizations.
Why It Might Be a Fit
Must have 10 or more years designing and operating VMware vSphere, including environments of 1,000 or more VMs, a professional-level VMware certification (VCP-DCV or higher) or equivalent experience, experience leading a host consolidation, hardware refresh or data center migration, hands-on automation with Terraform, Ansible or PowerCLI, U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain the investigation DHA designates for privileged access, DoD 8140 qualification for a privileged infrastructure role, or the ability to earn it within six months.
