Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on VMware experience in enterprise environments, focusing on implementation, migration, and execution.
  • 1–3+ years of practical experience with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF).
  • Hands-on implementation experience with VCF 9 is highly preferred; VCF Lab or POC experience will be considered.
  • Strong automation and scripting skills, including VMware Aria Automation and Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Ansible, Terraform, SaltStack).
  • Solid enterprise VMware infrastructure background, including vSAN Storage and VMware NSX.
  • Excellent troubleshooting and analytical problem-solving skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, delivery-oriented consulting setting.

What We Offer

  • Work on exciting enterprise-scale Broadcom VMware Cloud Foundation projects.
  • Fully remote position with flexible work arrangements.
  • Clear contract-to-hire pathway with strong intent to convert to full-time employee after ~6 months.
  • Opportunity to grow your career under the mentorship of experienced senior architects.
  • Collaborative team environment focused on successful customer delivery.
