This role is a hybrid of high-level systems architecture and hands-on technical leadership, specifically supporting core Client sites. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of enterprise virtualization—from drafting complex Bills of Materials (BoM) and designing net-new ESXi clusters to managing high-availability physical security clusters. By bridging the gap between on-premises VMware stacks and modern cloud identity through Azure AD (Entra), you will ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of transit-critical technology environments in a fast-paced, mission-driven atmosphere.Core ResponsibilitiesArchitectural Design & Deployment: Lead the net-new design, BoM specification, and full-stack installation of VMware ESXi clusters across primary regional sites. Cluster Management: Maintain and optimize a high-stakes physical security cluster consisting of 6 ESXi hosts and 15+ Windows Server 2022 VMs. Lifecycle Operations: Manage critical firmware upgrades, VMware core OS updates, and storage array maintenance to ensure 24/7 system availability. Performance Optimization: Conduct regular health checks, failover testing, and workload balancing to maximize resource allocation and HA (High Availability) stability. Data Protection & Recovery: Design, implement, and rigorously test comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solutions to ensure zero-loss data integrity. Security & Compliance: Oversee vulnerability management and patch cycles while collaborating with security partners to harden the infrastructure. Documentation & Strategy: Create and maintain SOPs, best-practice guides, and detailed system configuration diagrams for cross-functional team alignment. Qualifications & Technical ProfileExperience: 4+ years of dedicated expertise in designing, implementing, and managing VMware vSphere, ESXi, and iSCSI SAN storage. Core Infrastructure: Proficiency in Windows Server 2022, Linux OS, and fundamental networking protocols (TCP/IP routing, DNS). Identity & Cloud: Strong functional knowledge of Azure AD (Entra) and exposure to Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) or VMware Horizon/Desktop. Storage Expertise: Hands-on experience with SAN environments; specific familiarity with HPE Alletra storage arrays is highly desirable. Tooling: Experience utilizing ServiceNow for ITSM and familiarity with Citrix environments or Equinix/co-lo facility procedures. Soft Skills: Proven ability to communicate complex technical specs to business partners and collaborate with diverse technology infrastructure teams.","company":"Veracity Software","rawCompany":"veracity software","city":"Washington","state":"DC","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-04-09T15:42:11.663Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1299.08","title":"Computer Systems Engineers/Architects","slug":"computer-systems-engineers-architects"},{"code":"15-1244.00","title":"Network and Computer Systems Administrators","slug":"network-and-computer-systems-administrators"},{"code":"15-1241.00","title":"Computer Network Architects","slug":"computer-network-architects"}],"industries":[{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"},{"code":"541513","title":"Computer Facilities Management Services","slug":"computer-facilities-management-services"},{"code":"541519","title":"Other Computer Related Services","slug":"other-computer-related-services"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Senior Infrastructure Engineer (VMware & Cloud)","description":"Contract roleLocation: Washington, D.C, hybrid Working as a Senior Infrastructure Engineer (VMware & Cloud) for a Randstad client in Washington, D.C., puts you at the center of critical infrastructure modernization.
