Devops Engineer
Design, deploy, and optimize enterprise VMware environments and integrate them with hybrid cloud services, focusing on automation, monitoring, security compliance, and cost‑effective scalability.
Optiv is hiring an IT Cloud Engineer. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in VMware technologies (vSphere, ESXi, vCenter, NSX, vSAN) and the ability to integrate those environments with modern cloud services. This position plays a key role in building scalable, secure, and cost-effective hybrid solutions while improving automation, monitoring, and operational efficiency. This individual will work closely with infrastructure, security, and application teams to ensure a smooth migration process, maintain compliance standards, and support ongoing optimization of both VMware and cloud environments.
How you'll make an impact
Design, deployment, and optimization of enterprise VMware environments (vSphere, vCenter, ESXi) supporting hybrid and cloud migration strategies
