• Align with engineering standards, reference architectures and security requirements.
• Operate and maintain Nutanix AHV clusters once deployed.
• Manage Prism Element and Prism Central.
• Perform lifecycle management activities, including upgrades, patching and compatibility checks.
• Ensure high availability, performance and resilience of workloads.
• Manage VM lifecycle activities, including snapshots, backup integration and performance tuning.

• Experience with platform lifecycle operations, including patching, upgrades, backups, certificate renewal and disaster recovery, is an asset.

Profile:

• 4+ years of experience in virtualization and infrastructure engineering.
• Proven hands-on experience with Nutanix AHV in project or production environments is mandatory.
