Job Description
Job Description Insight Global is seeking a VMware Infrastructure Engineer for a top enterprise client supporting a critical infrastructure modernization initiative. This engineer will play a key role in designing, building, and deploying a new VMware 9.1 environment leveraging a modern 3-tier architecture. The ideal candidate has deep VMware expertise, strong storage and server infrastructure knowledge, and a proven track record of building environments from the ground up rather than simply maintaining existing systems. This individual will partner closely with a highly technical team to rebuild infrastructure using modern best practices and Infrastructure as Code methodologies, utilizing tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and Packer. This opportunity is ideal for an engineer who enjoys greenfield deployments, infrastructure automation, and enterprise-scale virtualization projects. This is a 4-8 month contract and pays $55-$65/hr. We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
