Role Overview
eNGINE is hiring a VMware Engineer to support and evolve a large-scale virtual infrastructure operating in a Windows-based enterprise environment. This role supports approximately 100 ESXi hosts (with around 60 actively running production workloads) across a dynamic data center landscape.
This is not a “ticket-only” VM administration role. We are seeking a strategic engineer who understands the VMware ecosystem end-to-end, can plan upgrades, lead remediation efforts, and help shape the long-term direction of the virtualization platform. While some VM provisioning is required, the primary focus is infrastructure optimization, modernization, and lifecycle management of the VMware software stack.
Responsibilities
- Administer and maintain a large VMware environment consisting of ~100 ESXi hosts
- Perform upgrades, patching, and lifecycle management across the VMware software stack
- Lead remediation efforts for security findings, including validation of vulnerabilities and proper documentation of false positives
- Plan and execute VMware version upgrades with minimal downtime and strong rollback strategies
- Support and optimize VMware Aria (vRealize/Aria Operations) and VMware replication technologies (vRep)
- Evaluate infrastructure health and provide strategic recommendations for platform improvements
- Participate in data center initiatives including capacity planning, performance tuning, and architecture reviews
- Collaborate with Windows Server teams to ensure seamless integration of virtual infrastructure
- Document processes, configurations, and remediation steps in alignment with compliance standards
- Assist with occasional VM builds and infrastructure provisioning as needed
Qualifications
- 5+ years of hands-on experience administering VMware environments
- Strong experience managing ESXi hosts and vCenter in enterprise-scale environments
- Experience performing VMware upgrades, patching, and stack remediation
- Familiarity with VMware Aria (formerly vRealize) suite
- Experience with replication technologies (vRep or similar tools)
- Strong understanding of security patching, vulnerability management, and documentation best practices
- Experience operating within Windows Server environments
- Ability to analyze alerts and properly document remediation steps, including validation of false positives
- Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills
Preferred Experience
- Experience supporting 50+ host enterprise environments
- Experience developing VMware roadmap strategy and long-term infrastructure planning
- Exposure to data center modernization initiatives
- Familiarity with storage, networking, and backup integrations within VMware
- VMware certifications (VCP, VCAP, etc.)
