Description

Position: VMWare Infrastructure Engineer
Work Location: 100 Community Pl, Crownsville, MD 21032. This position follows a hybrid work schedule (work remotely up to 3 days per week).
Interview Mode: Virtual via MS Teams

The client is seeking a VMware Infrastructure Engineer who will be responsible for implementing and maintaining a highly available, secure, and resilient enterprise virtualization environment supporting our state client. This individual will play a critical role in ensuring operational stability across VMware-based infrastructure platforms, supporting production systems that require strict uptime, security, and disaster recovery standards. While familiarity with the skills listed is important, the candidate needs to be highly proficient in Windows Server operating system vulnerability remediation. The client has an existing patching team, but the resource must be able to resolve issues when automated OS patching fails.

Responsibilities:

Log Analysis: Expert-level parsing of CBS.log, DISM.log, and WindowsUpdate.log (via PowerShell).
Servicing Stack Knowledge: Deep understanding of Component-Based Servicing (CBS) and the WinSxS folder.
Repair Tool Mastery: Advanced use of DISM (including /RestoreHealth with external sources) and SFC utilities.
PowerShell Scripting: Ability to automate the resetting of the Windows Update Agent and clearing the SoftwareDistribution cache.
Environment Management: Proficient in Tanium
Storage & Partitioning: Troubleshooting disk space issues within the System Reserved Partition and Volume Shadow Copies.
Security Interoperability: Identifying conflicts between the Trusted Installer service and EDR/Antivirus agents
