Job Description
Insight Global is seeking a VMware Infrastructure Engineer for a top enterprise client supporting a critical infrastructure modernization initiative. This engineer will play a key role in designing, building, and deploying a new VMware 9.1 environment leveraging a modern 3-tier architecture. The ideal candidate has deep VMware expertise, strong storage and server infrastructure knowledge, and a proven track record of building environments from the ground up rather than simply maintaining existing systems. This individual will partner closely with a highly technical team to rebuild infrastructure using modern best practices and Infrastructure as Code methodologies, utilizing tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and Packer. This opportunity is ideal for an engineer who enjoys greenfield deployments, infrastructure automation, and enterprise-scale virtualization projects. This is a 4-8 month contract and pays $55-$65/hr.
Skills and Requirements
- 4+ years of VMware engineering experience
- Bachelor's degree required
- Recent hands-on VMware (8 or 9/9.1 with VCF preferred). Has personally designed, built, and configured environments from the ground up using best practices, including SAN storage, networking (Ethernet and Fibre Channel), and compute in a 3-tier architecture. Includes server hardware and firmware management.
- Ansible/AAP. Has written playbooks to configure systems and can walk through specific, relevant examples.
- IaC (infrastructure as code) and Git, another repository tool or code samples. Can share a code sample or repository (GitHub, files, or similar) and walk through it. For some context, Git is a library where code lives so if they don’t use that then they’ll likely send the file(s) directly.
- Documentation and knowledge transfer skills. Leaves behind documentation our team can run with.
- Working Knowledge of the following:
- Terraform, Packer, and HashiCorp Vault/secrets management (these tie into IaC).
- CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Deployment). For some context, CI/CD automatically checks that any new code will actually run before it goes live.
- Automated Environments
- VMware/Red Hat certifications
- Vmware modernization
- Infrastructure transformation projects
