Our client, a large systems integrator, is looking to hire a Senior VCF & NSX Consultant for a 12-month remote contract. The consultant will serve as the trusted technical advisor for modernizing customer data center infrastructure using the full VMware Cloud Foundation stack, with an expert-level focus on VMware NSX.

The consultant will also be driving Infrastructure as Code initiatives by automating VCF and NSX provisioning using tools like Terraform, Ansible, and Aria Automation.
