Job Description

VMWare is designing a visionary new Clustered Operations workflow for managing the ESXi hypervisor on servers and Smart NICs. This requires a re-imagination of how ESXi clusters are managed at scale. There is an urgent need for engineering talent to help the team with implementing this significant transition.

Overview on SDDC: Pioneered by VMware and recognized by the industry and analysts alike, SDDC extends the virtualization concepts you know abstraction, pooling and automation to all data center resources and services. Software-defined data center technology helps attain new levels of infrastructure utilization and staff productivity, significantly reducing both capital expenditures and operating costs. VMware ESXi Server provides platform for running your VMware vSphere environments, allowing you to automate and deliver a virtual infrastructure with confidence. Our team is focused on providing support for Lifecycle operations of ESXi Server.

Roles & Responsibilities

From a host centric way of doing things, we are moving to a cluster-focused approach that lends itself to scale out well for Cloud, OnPrem and Edge deployments.

* The ideal candidate for this role will be technically savvy about technologies being used in the project and be focused on delivering high quality products.

* This is a ground-floor opportunity to get in on a large-scale system design, that will impact and determine the course of our premier vSphere product for many years to come! We are interested in quality engineers who are keen on actively participating in energized technical discussions, excited about the technical challenges that need to be solved and not hesitant about rolling up their sleeves to get in the trenches to implement and troubleshoot interesting solutions.

* The responsibilities for this role are the following:

* Help in assessing quality of the project deliverables, lead and implement manual and automated tests for innovative new solutions for our domain managing clusters of ESXi hypervisors at scale.

* Participate with the team in technical discussions, architectural decisions and problem-solving exercises, including (but not limited to) test designs, execution and automation plans, CI/CI and pre-checkin pipelines.

* Interact with peers in the team (and outside the team) on issues dealing with our product solution. These interactions may be with Development/test Engineers, interoperability teams, Product Managers, Documentation specialists, Technical Marking etc.
