We are looking for a skilled Senior Nutanix Engineer with
at least 5+ years of experience to design, deploy, and manage Nutanix Cloud
Clusters (NC2) on Azure. The role involves end-to-end cluster provisioning
including node setup, networking, storage, routing, and scale-out architecture,
along with secure integration with Azure and on-premises environments. The
candidate will also lead migration of applications and production workloads
from on-prem to Nutanix, ensuring seamless connectivity, minimal downtime, and
adherence to enterprise security and networking standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Deploy
Nutanix clusters including full cluster initialization and configuration. - Configure
and provision Nutanix nodes, including compute, storage, disk
configuration and cluster scale-out/expansion. - Perform
Nutanix-side network configuration including VLANs, IP addressing,
subnets, and virtual networking setup. - Implement
routing and hybrid connectivity between Nutanix, Azure, and on-prem
environments using VPN/ExpressRoute and BGP. - Configure
whitelisting rules and access control policies to allow secure
communication between Nutanix, Azure services, and on-prem systems. - Set
up and manage Nutanix Flow / Flow Gateway for traffic inspection,
microsegmentation, and east-west traffic control. - Coordinate
and validate Azure networking configurations (VNet integration, UDRs,
NSGs, firewall routing) required for Nutanix connectivity. - Plan
and execute end-to-end migration strategy for applications and production
workloads from on-premises to Nutanix. - Perform
application discovery and dependency mapping to identify migration scope
and interdependencies. - Migrate
workloads using Nutanix Move and other migration tools, including
physical-to-virtual (P2V) and virtual-to-virtual (V2V) migrations. - Handle
migration of systems across multiple operating systems including Windows
Server and Linux distributions. - Execute
pre-migration validation, including resource sizing, compatibility checks,
and network readiness. - Perform
test migrations and pilot runs to validate performance, connectivity, and
application behavior. - Manage
cutover activities, including downtime planning, data synchronization, and
final switchover. - Conduct
post-migration validation and optimization, ensuring applications are
fully functional and performance is optimized. - Troubleshoot
migration-related issues such as network latency, routing gaps, firewall
blocks, and application dependencies. - Validate
and troubleshoot end-to-end connectivity, including routing paths,
firewall rules, and network flows. - Perform
cluster health monitoring, capacity planning, and performance optimization
using Nutanix Prism tools. - Collaborate
with cloud, network, and security teams to ensure proper hybrid
architecture and secure deployment.
