Key Responsibilities

Design scalable, secure, and resilient Cloud Native and virtualization architectures for complex enterprise environments.
Architect and deploy Kubernetes and container platforms, leveraging OpenShift, Rancher, Rafay, or equivalent solutions.
Design enterprise virtualization solutions with VMware, Red Hat Virtualization, KVM, Hyper-V, and Nutanix as appropriate.
Integrate Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Software-Defined Storage (SDS) technologies into infrastructure designs.
Work directly with customers to gather business, security, scalability, and operational requirements and translate them into practical architectures.
Provide hands-on technical leadership through architecture, design, implementation, and transformation efforts.
Conduct technical workshops, architecture reviews, assessments, and customer consultations.
Support pre-sales and solutioning activities while remaining actively involved in delivery and technical execution.
Apply infrastructure automation and Infrastructure-as-Code practices using tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
Collaborate with engineering, delivery, operations, and customer teams across multiple regions to ensure consistent, high-quality outcomes.

Qualifications

Typically 15–20+ years of overall technology experience; this role expects strong senior-level experience (20 years indicated).
Minimum 10+ years of hands-on Infrastructure Architecture experience with proven technical delivery (strategy-only backgrounds are not sufficient).
Deep expertise in Cloud Native Architecture, Kubernetes, and enterprise container platforms (OpenShift, Rancher, Rafay).
Strong virtualization background with VMware and/or Red Hat Virtualization; familiarity with KVM, Hyper-V, and Nutanix is desirable.
Demonstrated experience with SDN and SDS technologies and designing resilient, secure infrastructures.
Proven customer consulting, stakeholder management, and presentation skills; ability to engage with senior stakeholders and lead large programs.
Experience with infrastructure automation and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible) and a strong scripting/automation mindset.
Ability to operate effectively across globally distributed technical and business teams, and flexibility to accommodate varying schedules and work models
