Design or contribute extensively to an automation framework that configures hypervisor hosts and guest VMs at scale.
Cover the workflow from bare-metal bootstrap through host configuration, VM configuration, and VM/image lifecycle management.
Be able to propose and defend architecture decisions around the automation.

Core Hypervisor Experience – Mandatory

ESXi: hands-on production experience, including vSphere API/vR OPS, PowerCLI, etc.; OR
KVM-based platform: production expertise in at least one platform such as Proxmox, oVirt, Morpheus, OpenStack/libvirt-based environments.
Evidence of managing and setting up hypervisor hosts at scale. The attached JD targets 100s–1000s of hosts, not only a few centralized systems.

Declarative / IaC – Mandatory

Declarative or idempotent tooling/programming to configure hypervisor hosts and define VM state as code.
Automation that communicates directly with hypervisor-native APIs or CLIs rather than only public-cloud resources.

Testing and plan-before-apply / dry-run discipline before production changes.

Understanding of Git repository structures, state files, modules, environments, drift detection and reconciliation.
Must understand how the hypervisor automation flow is built; design input is strongly valued.

Bare-Metal / Hardware Automation – Mandatory

PXE/iPXE boot automation; kickstart or autoinstall files.
BMC protocol experience: Redfish APIs and/or HPE iLO, Dell iDRAC, or equivalent vendor BMC exposure.
Firmware/BIOS configuration through APIs is relevant.

Networking & Storage as Code – Mandatory

Declarative automation involving vSwitch/distributed switch or Linux bridge/OVS, VLAN and/or VxLAN.
Storage provisioning such as datastores, LVM, ZFS or Ceph as part of the automation pipeline.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

OpenStack / oVirt / libvirt.
Python / Go / PowerShell.
VM lifecycle automation.
Drift detection / reconciliation.
Technical architecture experience.
The attached JD also identifies VM lifecycle management via API and programming experience as useful additional signals.
