Infrastructure Engineer

Overview:

WEI is seeking a motivated Infrastructure Engineer with 3-5 years of hands-on experience in VMware vSphere and a strong foundation in networking and storage technologies.

This position is ideal for an internal IT systems engineer or administrator who’s ready to take the next step into a customer-facing consulting role. The right candidate has a genuine passion for technology, thrives on solving complex problems, and takes pride in doing things the right way — not the quick or “half-done” way.

As part of WEI’s Professional Services team, you’ll deliver design, deployment, and support services across enterprise virtualization and private cloud platforms. You’ll collaborate closely with senior architects, gain hands-on experience with advanced VMware technologies such as VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and NSX, and work directly with customers across a range of industries.

This is a hybrid position based out of our Salem, NH headquarters, with an expectation to be on-site two days per week. Occasional travel to customer sites may be required for project delivery and onsite consulting engagements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver and support customer-facing projects involving VMware vSphere, vSAN, and NSX technologies.
• Assist senior consultants with the design, implementation, and validation of virtualization, storage, and network solutions.
• Troubleshoot issues across compute, network, and storage layers in customer environments.
• Support customer environments through Windows Server administration, including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy.
• Automate deployment and configuration tasks using PowerShell, Python, and VMware PowerCLI.
• Participate in backup and recovery strategy design using Veeam Backup & Replication or comparable platforms such as Commvault, Rubrik, or Cohesity.
• Create Visio diagrams, technical documentation, and as-built guides for customer deliverables.
• Collaborate with WEI’s senior engineers and architects to execute customer projects with precision and professionalism.
• Maintain strong attention to security, compliance, and performance best practices in all deployments.
• Go the extra step to ensure every solution is implemented correctly, fully tested, and aligned with WEI’s quality standards.

Qualifications & Skills:

Required:

• 3-5 years of experience supporting or implementing VMware vSphere environments (vCenter, ESXi).
• Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (VLANs, TCP/IP, routing, switching).
• Experience managing or integrating enterprise storage (NFS, iSCSI, or SAN).
• Proficiency with Windows Server and Active Directory administration.
• Working knowledge of PowerShell or Python for automation, scripting, and operational efficiency.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Visio for documentation and design diagrams.
• Experience with Veeam Backup or other enterprise backup solutions (Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity, etc.).
• Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and customer communication skills.

Preferred / Nice to Have:

• Exposure to NSX, vSAN, Aria Suite or VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF).
• Experience with Nutanix AHV or Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization platforms.
• Understanding of hybrid cloud architectures (Azure, AWS, or VMware Cloud).
• Certifications such as VCP, MCSA, or Network+.
• Prior experience in consulting, professional services, or project-based delivery.
• Experience with Ansible, Packer, or Terraform-style automation.
