TL;DR · Kubernetes Platform Infrastructure Architect

The Kubernetes Platform Infrastructure Architect joins the Modern Workloads Platform Engineering team to accelerate the adoption of VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service as an enterprise-grade platform for modern applications in private clouds. This customer-facing role involves acting as a trusted advisor to design, validate, and deploy software-defined data centers while integrating physical-to-virtual network fabrics. You will lead technical workshops, conduct complex Proof-of-Concepts, and build reusable reference architectures and deployment patterns. The role requires deep expertise in VMware Cloud Foundation, vSphere, vSAN, and SDDC Manager operations. Key technologies include Kubernetes Platform Engineering (EKS, AKS, RH OCP/OPP, Rancher), advanced networking fabrics like VMware NSX, and cloud-native networking constructs such as CNI multi-tenancy, ingress controllers, and egress controls. You will solve complex infrastructure, networking, and containerization issues within Kubernetes and Supervisor environments to drive data center modernization.

What you'll do

  • Act as a trusted advisor to guide enterprise customers through the design and deployment of VMware Kubernetes solutions.
  • Lead architecture workshops, technical deep-dives, and complex Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) to accelerate platform adoption.
  • Design resilient solution architectures for Kubernetes networking, including IPAM, ingress/egress traffic, and microservices routing.
  • Develop customer proposals in collaboration with product teams to address virtualization scaling and workload placement.
  • Create and standardize reusable reference architectures, deployment patterns, and technical assets for customer use.
  • Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, networking, and containerization issues across the entire technology stack during pilot phases.
  • Translate complex infrastructure requirements into clear business terms for executive decision-makers.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10+ years of experience in technology engineering or consulting roles with depth in enterprise IT architecture or private cloud infrastructure.
  • Proven expertise in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) core products including vSphere, vSAN, and SDDC Manager.
  • Experience with Kubernetes Platform Engineering using EKS, AKS, RH OCP/OPP, or Rancher.
  • Deep knowledge of enterprise networking fabrics such as VMware NSX and cloud-native networking constructs like CNI and ingress controllers.
  • Ability to travel up to 60% of the time for on-site workshops and client deployments.
  • Desirable certifications include VCP/VCAP, Cisco CCIE/CCNP, or Kubernetes (CKA/CKAD) and Red Hat OpenShift certifications.
  • Strong communication skills to translate complex infrastructure technicalities into business terms for executive decision-makers.
