The incumbent serves as a Senior Hybrid Cloud Engineer and Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the engineering, implementation, and Tier 2/3 support of the organization's integrated hybrid infrastructure. The incumbent is the technical authority for bridging these environments, ensuring seamless interoperability, high availability, and the extension of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) from the local data center to the public cloud. The incumbent plays a pivotal role in managing the total lifecycle of virtualized assets, from on-premises hypervisors to cloud-native instances, ensuring a unified security and operational posture. - Engineering and managing enterprise on-premises virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Nutanix AHV) to support mission-critical legacy and modern workloads. - Architecting and maintaining hybrid cloud connectivity using technologies such as Azure Arc, AWS Outposts, or Google Anthos to create a unified management plane across local and public data centers. - Leading the migration and refactoring of workloads from on-premises virtual environments to Azure, AWS, GCP, or OCI using "lift-and-shift," "re-platforming," or "cloud-native" strategies. - Managing software-defined data center (SDDC) components, including virtualized networking (NSX/AVS) and storage (vSAN), to ensure high performance and hardware abstraction. - Automating hybrid infrastructure delivery through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform and Ansible to provision resources consistently across on-premises and multi-cloud providers. - Designing cross-environment Disaster Recovery (DR) and Backup solutions that utilize cloud storage (e.g., S3, Azure Blob) as targets for on-premises virtual machine snapshots and stateful data. - Extending Zero Trust security models to the on-premises perimeter by implementing micro-segmentation, identity-based access, and consistent firewall policies across the hybrid fabric. - Optimizing compute resource allocation by monitoring hypervisor contention on-premises and right-sizing elastic instances in the public cloud to balance cost and performance. - Performing Tier 3 diagnostic analysis on complex "gray failure" issues, such as latency between local virtual switches and cloud VPCs, or synchronization errors in hybrid storage arrays. - Managing the integration of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) with cloud-native APIs to facilitate seamless resource scaling during peak demand periods. - Mentoring technical staff on the convergence of traditional systems administration and cloud-native engineering, developing guides for hybrid operational excellence. - Ensuring federal compliance (NIST SP 800-53) across the entire stack, maintaining security controls for both physical host hardware on-premises and ephemeral resources in the cloud. - Performing other duties as assigned. Qualifications - Attention to Detail: Is thorough when performing work and conscientious about attending to detail. - Customer Service: Works with clients and customers to assess their needs, provide information or assistance, resolve their problems, or satisfy their expectations. - Oral Communication: Expresses information effectively, considering the audience and nature of the information; makes clear and convincing oral presentations. - Problem Solving: Identifies problems; determines accuracy and relevance of information; uses sound judgment to generate and evaluate alternatives, and to make recommendations. Requirements - Applicants must have at least one full year (52 weeks) of specialized experience which is in or directly related to the line of work of this position. - Experience as a Subject Matter Expert in on-premises virtualization (VMware/Hyper-V) and multi-cloud engineering (Azure/AWS/GCP/OCI). - Managing highly technical projects as directed supporting the Cloud and VDI capability reporting status and compliance as required. - Coordinating and maintaining relationships with all necessary internal and external groups supporting related services. - Expertise in automating infrastructure across local and public data centers. Benefits - Familiarity with the Federal Judiciary and AO policies is a plus. Certifications - VMware Certified Professional (VCP) - Azure solutions architect - AWS solutions architect - GCP Professional cloud architect - OCI solutions architect
