TL;DR · Kubernetes Platform Infrastructure Architect

The Kubernetes Platform Infrastructure Architect joins the Modern Workloads Platform Engineering team to drive the adoption of VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service as an enterprise-grade platform for private cloud applications. 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 architecture workshops, conduct complex Proof-of-Concepts, and develop reusable reference architectures and deployment patterns. The role requires deep expertise in VMware Cloud Foundation, vSphere, vSAN, and SDDC Manager operations. Key technical requirements include experience with Kubernetes Platform Engineering (EKS, AKS, RH OCP/OPP, Rancher), advanced networking fabrics like VMware NSX, and cloud-native networking constructs such as ingress controllers and CNI multi-tenancy. You will solve complex infrastructure, networking, and containerization issues to facilitate data center modernization for enterprise clients.

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 to accelerate platform adoption.
  • Design resilient solution architectures for Kubernetes networking, including IPAM, ingress/egress traffic, and microservices routing.
  • Develop joint customer proposals with product teams to address virtualization scaling and workload placement.
  • Create and standardize reusable reference architectures and deployment patterns to accelerate customer success.
  • Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, networking, and containerization issues across the entire technology stack during pilot phases.
  • Translate complex technical 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.
  • 12+ 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 across platforms such as EKS, AKS, RH OCP/OPP, or Rancher.
  • Deep knowledge of enterprise networking fabrics like VMware NSX and cloud-native networking constructs for ingress, egress, and CNI.
  • Ability to lead complex troubleshooting across infrastructure, networking, and containerization layers in Kubernetes environments.
  • Strong communication skills to present technical complexities as business solutions to executive decision-makers.
  • Willingness to travel up to 60% of the time for on-site workshops and client deployments.
