Responsibilities
Lead the design, deployment, and lifecycle management of VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 instances, including management domains, workload domains, and stretched clusters
Deploy, configure, and optimize vSphere 9.0 environments: ESXi hosts, vCenter Server, clusters (DRS, HA, vMotion), storage policies (vSAN integration), and Supervisor Services for Kubernetes workloads
Implement and manage NSX 9.0 (formerly NSX-T) for software-defined networking: logical switching/routing, micro-segmentation, distributed firewalls, load balancing, VPC constructs (native in vCenter/VCF), Geneve overlays, and centralized/distributed connectivity

Perform capacity planning, performance tuning, risk analysis, and troubleshooting across vSphere, NSX, and vSAN components; conduct regular health checks and remediation
Enable secure, compliant environments: apply hardening (e.g., FIPS mode, NSX security policies), micro-segmentation, encryption, RBAC, and auditing aligned with frameworks like NIST, PCI DSS, HIPAA, or DISA STIG
Support hybrid/multi-cloud integrations (e.g., HCX for workload mobility) and modern workloads: Windows containers, GPU-accelerated AI tasks, and reduced vMotion downtime
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (security, DevOps, application owners) to translate requirements into infrastructure solutions; provide knowledge transfer, documentation, and training
Stay current with VCF 9.0 innovations (e.g., pre-installed NSX on ESXi hosts, live patching extensions, async Kubernetes releases, enhanced VPC automation) and contribute to best practices
