We are looking for an experienced Virtualization Engineer to design, administer, maintain, and optimise enterprise virtualisation environments with a strong focus on Nutanix, VMware, compute infrastructure, monitoring, and automation.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on expertise across Nutanix AOS, Nutanix AHV, VMware ESXi, and Cisco UCS compute infrastructure, along with strong troubleshooting and virtualisation administration capabilities. The role will also involve proactive infrastructure monitoring using AIOps and improving operational efficiency through PowerShell scripting and automation.

You will play a key role in maintaining highly available, reliable, secure, and high-performing virtualisation platforms supporting critical production workloads.

Key Responsibilities

• Administer and maintain Nutanix AOS and Nutanix AHV virtualisation environments.
• Manage and support VMware ESXi hosts, clusters, and virtual machine environments.
• Support Cisco UCS compute infrastructure, including configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
• Perform virtual machine provisioning, deployment, migration, resizing, resource allocation, and lifecycle management.
• Monitor virtualisation platforms for availability, performance, capacity, resource utilisation, and overall health.
• Troubleshoot VM, host, cluster, compute, hardware, and virtualisation-related incidents.
• Perform root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions for recurring infrastructure issues.
• Configure and maintain high-availability and resilient virtualisation environments.
• Support infrastructure patching, upgrades, firmware updates, configuration changes, and technology refresh activities.
• Implement and maintain AIOps-based proactive monitoring, alerting, and health-check mechanisms.
• Identify performance bottlenecks, capacity constraints, and potential infrastructure failures before they affect production.
• Develop and maintain PowerShell scripts to automate virtualisation administration and repetitive operational tasks.
• Identify opportunities to improve virtualisation operations through automation, standardisation, and process optimisation.
• Support capacity planning, resource forecasting, and performance optimisation across virtualisation environments.
• Assist with backup, disaster recovery, business continuity, and virtual machine recovery activities.
• Support virtualisation migrations, infrastructure consolidation, and platform modernisation initiatives.
• Maintain accurate configuration documentation, operational procedures, asset records, and technical standards.
• Collaborate with network, storage, security, database, application, and operations teams to resolve cross-functional infrastructure issues.
• Follow established change, incident, problem-management, security, and operational processes.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 4+ years of experience in virtualization engineering, infrastructure engineering, systems administration, or enterprise data-centre operations.
• Strong hands-on experience with Nutanix AOS and Nutanix AHV.
• Proven experience administering and troubleshooting VMware ESXi environments.
• Practical experience with Cisco UCS compute hardware and enterprise server infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of virtualization concepts including VMs, clusters, hosts, resource allocation, HA, capacity, and performance management.
• Experience with virtual machine provisioning, migrations, upgrades, patching, and lifecycle management.
• Strong knowledge of enterprise compute, storage, networking, and infrastructure operations.
• Experience with infrastructure monitoring, alerting, performance management, and capacity planning.
• Exposure to AIOps and proactive infrastructure monitoring.
• Strong hands-on experience with PowerShell scripting and infrastructure automation.
• Understanding of backup, disaster recovery, high availability, and business continuity concepts.
• Familiarity with infrastructure automation or Infrastructure as Code practices is an advantage.
• Strong troubleshooting, debugging, and root-cause analysis skills.
• Experience supporting production virtualisation environments with high availability and reliability requirements.
• Strong understanding of infrastructure change, incident, problem, and lifecycle management.
• Good communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work across multiple technical teams.
• Proactive approach to identifying infrastructure risks and improving platform performance and operational efficiency.
• Ability to independently own technical issues and drive them through resolution.
