Job Responsibilities
- Architect virtualization cluster designs across global pools, including software-defined compute and storage.
- Automate provisioning, configuration, patching, compliance enforcement, and decommissioning using platform scripting languages and APIs.
- Benchmark compute and storage performance using industry-standard tooling to validate changes and guide capacity decisions.
- Diagnose full-stack issues across compute, storage, networking, clustering, and hypervisor layers using structured troubleshooting methods.
- Evaluate proposed server bills of materials for suitability, providing performance-focused feedback on CPU, memory, storage, and network characteristics.
- Harden environments by partnering with security teams to remediate vulnerabilities and enforce platform baselines at scale.
- Document reference architectures, decision records, and operational runbooks to improve repeatability and auditability.
- Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and technical guidance that raises the bar for platform quality.
- Use enterprise-authorized AI capabilities to accelerate analysis of complex infrastructure signals and document mitigation options, validating outputs and handling operational data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
- Lead reuse-first adoption of AI-assisted practices across delivery and automation routines to reduce recurring issues, ensuring changes are validated, traceable, auditable, and aligned to resiliency and security expectations.
