Virtualization

• Support the virtualization environment during the migration from VMware to Nutanix
• Administer Nutanix hardware and software, building toward ownership of the virtualization platform over time

What You Bring

• 3+ years of experience as a Systems Administrator or in a similar infrastructure role
• Strong PowerShell scripting skills, including writing, maintaining and troubleshooting scripts
• Solid Windows Server administration experience, including automated patching and security updates
• Hands-on Veeam administration and backup troubleshooting
• Advanced Microsoft 365 and Azure administration experience
• Virtualization experience with Nutanix, VMware, or both
• Ability to work independently, take ownership and collaborate well with a senior teammate

Nice to Have

• Hands-on Nutanix administration (AHV, Prism)
• Experience with Quantum backup hardware
• Experience supporting a VMware-to-Nutanix migration
• Certifications such as VMCE (Veeam), NCP (Nutanix) or Microsoft Azure/M365

Benefits

• Competitive salary of $75,000-$100,000 plus bonus
• Health insurance
• Retirement plan
• Paid time off
• Disability insurance
• Life insurance
• Flexible daytime schedule

Why Apply

• Play a key role in a major VMware-to-Nutanix modernization project
