DevOps Engineer ( VMware vSphere/ESXi )

Overview

Contribute to the IDR department as a DevOps Engineer designing, building, and maintaining scalable, reproducible lab environments that support third-party vendor integrations. Enable fast, reliable integration onboarding through production-like environments, automation, and debugging support.

What you'll do

• Design and build isolated, secure, reusable lab environments across cloud, on-premises, or hybrid deployments.
• Create multi-component setups including controllers, agents, databases, and endpoint systems.
• Support SaaS, VM-based, and containerized vendor deployment models.
• Ensure lab environments represent production scenarios where needed.
• Build and manage environments using Infrastructure as Code, including Terraform, ARM/Bicep, and CloudFormation.
• Develop automated provisioning pipelines for repeatable lab setups.
• Maintain standardized templates and golden images.
• Version-control infrastructure and configurations using Git-based workflows.
• Build and consume REST APIs and contribute to a platform where provisioning is driven programmatically through a shared API used by the UI and CLI.
• Configure and troubleshoot virtual networks, subnets, routing, load balancers, NAT gateways, VPNs, firewalls, and proxy configurations.
• Simulate restricted or segmented networks and multi-region or cross-tenant deployments.
• Support integration workflows involving REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, and event-driven systems including Kafka, Event Hub, and MQTT.
• Enable testing of OAuth2, API keys, certificates, failure scenarios, retries, and rate limits.
• Build mock services and simulators for vendor dependencies.
• Implement logging, monitoring, and tracing using tools such as ELK, Grafana, and Azure Monitor.
• Provide debugging support through traffic inspection, API tracing, and log correlation.
• Assist teams in diagnosing and resolving integration issues.
• Ensure secure lab configurations through credential and secrets management, network isolation, and access control.
• Enforce internal security and compliance policies.
• Partner with engineering, product, and external vendors to support integrations.
• Create and maintain setup guides, architecture diagrams, runbooks, and troubleshooting documentation.
• Enable self-service usage of lab environments for development teams.

What you'll need

• 4+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or similar roles.
• Hands-on Python scripting capabilities.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling: Terraform for VM provisioning, Packer for VM templating, and Ansible for configuration management.
• Experience writing and maintaining Ansible roles, modules, and playbooks in a team setting with PR-based review.
• Practical experience deploying and managing workloads on at least two of VMware vSphere/ESXi, AWS, Azure, GCP, or Proxmox.
• A solid understanding of VM lifecycle, networking, and snapshots.
• Linux system administration skills, including shell scripting and/or Python, for automating provisioning and configuration tasks.
• Ability to build and consume REST APIs and work in a platform where provisioning is driven programmatically rather than through manual console steps.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and version control, including Git/GitHub, pull-request-based contribution, and peer review workflows.
• A collaborative engineering mindset, including writing environment definitions, playbooks, or modules that other engineers will read, reuse, and build on.
• Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills.
• Experience using monitoring or observability tooling such as Splunk, Grafana, or Nagios to validate environment health and performance.

Nice to have

• Working knowledge of containerization and orchestration, including Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift.
• Experience supporting enterprise-scale virtualization deployments such as VMware Horizon, App Volumes, or vSphere across regulated or large client environments.
• Security domain knowledge sufficient to build environments meaningful for detection engineering and SOC workflows.
• Exposure to attack scenarios, incident response, or threat-informed defence.
• Experience with Windows Active Directory environments, including designing, deploying, or troubleshooting AD, DNS, DHCP, and Windows Server infrastructure.
• Background in incident and change management practices, including pre-production review steps to minimize downtime.
• Cloud certifications such as AWS SysOps or Terraform Associate.
• Virtualization certifications such as VCP, VCAP, or VCIX.
