Job Description

SeniorInfrastructure Engineer — Hyper-V Virtualization & Infrastructure Engineering

We'relooking for a talented, senior engineering professional ready to taketheir career to new heights at one of the world's most influential companies.

Youwill engineer andoperateenterprise-scale Microsoft Hyper-V virtual infrastructure across global data centers. You will apply depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple domains — hypervisor platforms, storage, networking, clustering, performance engineering, and security compliance — to deploy,optimize, andmaintainvirtual infrastructure that supports tens of thousands of workloads across multiple regions.

This role sits within the Compute Engineering team, which owns the full lifecycle of virtual infrastructure: hypervisor deployment and upgrade, cluster operations, performance engineering, storage optimization, workload management, and compliance remediation. A separate hardware engineering function handles server certification, firmware lifecycle management, and hardware lab validation. You will collaborate closely with hardware engineering — evaluating hardware BOMs for performance characteristics specific to Hyper-V and providing technical feedback — but your primary focus is the virtualization platform layer and above. You will work across Windows Server and Hyper-V clustering, storage subsystems, and automation tooling —maintainingand extending a custom .NET-based workload management platform as needed. You will provide stewardship to other engineers through technical guidance, peer review, and design documentation. Experience with Hyper-V at enterprise scale is a strong differentiator.

Job Responsibilities

Architecture & Systems Design

• Design andmaintainHyper-V cluster architectures including failover clustering, live migration, storage configuration, and network topology across global data center pools.

• Evaluate hardware BOMs proposed by hardware engineering for Hyper-V performance characteristics — processor/memory ratios, storage throughput, network bandwidth, and overcommit suitability — and provide technical feedback to inform procurement decisions.

• Audit performance of complex virtual infrastructure across the full stack — compute, storage, networking, and hypervisor layers — andmaintainarchitecture artifacts (high-level design documents, decision records, diagrams) using firmwide tooling.

• Develop and document reference architectures and best practices for Hyper-V cluster deployment, storage configuration, and workload placement.

Coding

• Create andmaintainautomation for virtual infrastructure lifecycle management — provisioning, configuration, patching, compliance enforcement, and decommissioning of Hyper-V workloads — using PowerShell, WMI, and the team's .NET-based workload management platform.

• Write PowerShell scripts for host configuration management, inventory collection, cluster operations, and firmware deployment across the Hyper-V fleet.

• Maintain and extend the existing C# / .NET 8 workload management platform as needed — including the server-side orchestration API, distributed worker engine, and Windows client agent components.

• Provide stewardship to other engineers in support of quality delivery — peer reviewing automation scripts, infrastructure designs, and technical documentation.

Automation & Continuous Delivery

• Advocate for and implement infrastructure automation,identifyingopportunities to automate, combine, or simplify operational processes with a focus on scalability versus resource use.

• Develop andmaintainautomation for Hyper-V host configuration, cluster provisioning, rolling upgrades, and compliance enforcement using PowerShell DSC, scripts, and the team's workload management platform.

• Support and evolve CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure automation tooling, including multi-environment deployment and automated testing.

Distributed Systems Design & Development

• Plan and execute Hyper-V cluster upgrades, Windows Server rolling upgrades, and hypervisor patch rollouts across production environments with zero or minimal downtime.

• Troubleshoot production issues across the virtual infrastructure stack — hypervisor, clustering, storage, and networking layers — using structured logging, event tracing, performance counters, and vendor diagnostic tools.

• Consider all risks, potential environmental impacts, and FinOps implications when designing and implementinginfrastructure changes.

Data Fluency

• Identify appropriate data sources and apply appropriate methodologies when making data-based recommendations for capacity planning, performance optimization, and hardware procurement decisions.

• Conduct storage and compute performance benchmarking using industry and internal tooling (e.g., elbencho, VMFleet, diskspd) to validate hardware configurations and inform deployment decisions.

• Deliver against defined SLOs and SLAs; track and reduce events leading to errors or risks.

Cross-Functional

• Collaborate with hardware engineering on server platform evaluation, providing Hyper-V-specific performance requirements and validation feedback.

• Collaborate with vendor partners (Microsoft) on Hyper-V roadmap alignment, feature adoption, and escalation support.

• Collaborate effectively across infrastructure engineering, operations, security, and capacity planning teams.

• Leverage AI-assisted tooling for research, prototyping, and automation development to accelerate engineering cycles.

• Contribute to team and organizational goals.

• Champion the firm's culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering with demonstrated depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple domains (virtualization, storage, networking, Windows Server administration).
