As a Hosting Virtualization Engineer you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining virtualized infrastructure using VMware ESXi, Windows, and Linux systems within an organization. This role involves configuring and managing virtual servers, network, and storage resources to support the organizations IT infrastructure needs.

Key responsibilities of a Hosting Virtualization Engineer include:

Designing and implementing virtualized infrastructure: Planning and designing virtualized environments using VMware ESXi, Windows Server, and Linux systems to meet the organizations requirements for scalability, performance, and availability.

Installing and configuring virtualization software: Deploying and configuring VMware ESXi hypervisors, vCenter servers, and virtual machines, as well as managing virtual networking and storage resources.

Managing virtual servers: Monitoring and managing virtual servers, including provisioning, configuring, and troubleshooting virtual machines to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Implementing virtualization security: Implementing security best practices for virtualized environments, such as access controls, encryption, and intrusion detection, to protect against cyber threats and ensure data confidentiality.

Performing system upgrades and patches: Applying software updates, patches, and upgrades to virtualization software, operating systems, and applications to maintain system stability and security.

Automation and scripting: Developing scripts and automation tools using PowerShell, Bash, or other scripting languages to streamline routine tasks, automate processes, and improve operational efficiency.

Troubleshooting and problem-solving: Diagnosing and resolving technical issues related to virtualized infrastructure, network connectivity, performance bottlenecks, and system failures to minimize downtime and ensure system availability.

Collaboration and communication: Collaborating with IT teams, system administrators, network engineers, and security specialists to ensure seamless integration of virtualized environments with other technologies and systems. Providing technical support and training to end users as needed. Participating in an on-call support rotation for escalations within the team as needed.

Experience with virtualization technologies: Candidates should have hands-on experience with virtualization platforms such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, or other virtualization solutions. Experience with VMware ESXi, vCenter Server, and vRealize Suite is particularly desirable.

Operating system knowledge: Familiarity with operating systems such as Windows Server and Linux is essential for a virtualization engineer, as virtual machines often run these operating systems. Knowledge of system administration tasks, networking, and storage concepts is also important.

Networking skills: Understanding of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, and firewall configurations, is crucial for setting up and managing virtual networks within a virtualized environment.

Storage expertise: Knowledge of storage technologies, such as SAN, NAS, and RAID configurations, is important for managing storage resources in a virtualized environment. Understanding of storage protocols like iSCSI, NFS, and Fiber Channel is beneficial.

Scripting and automation: Proficiency in scripting languages such as PowerShell, Bash, or Python is valuable for automating routine tasks, creating custom scripts for system management, and enhancing operational efficiency in a virtualized environment.

Problem-solving skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities are essential for diagnosing and resolving technical issues in a virtualized environment, such as performance bottlenecks, network connectivity problems, or system failures.

Communication and teamwork: Effective communication skills, both verbal and written, are important for collaborating with team members, presenting technical information to stakeholders, and providing support to end users. The ability to work well in a team environment is also crucial.

Continuous learning: Virtualization engineers should stay current with industry trends, new technologies, and best practices in virtualization. Pursuing ongoing training, attending conferences, and obtaining additional certifications can help enhance skills and knowledge in this field.

Added bonus if you have:
