Hewlett Packard Enterprise is looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to help shape the virtualization platform powering hybrid cloud solutions for large enterprises. The role involves scaling, optimizing, and evolving the virtualization platform, influencing the direction of HPE's Private Cloud solutions.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with KVM, libvirt, and QEMU in enterprise-scale production environments.
• Experience building and supporting high-availability virtualization clusters at scale.
• Familiarity with open-source stacks like oVirt, OpenStack, Proxmox, or Red Hat Virtualization.
• Solid understanding of virtualization networking (e.g., SR-IOV, macvtap, bridges) and storage technologies (e.g., Ceph, LVM, iSCSI, NFS).
• Experience in performance tuning, monitoring, and availability architecture for virtualized infrastructure.
• Strong knowledge of system architecture, design principles, and translating product requirements into technical tasks.
• Expertise in Java, Groovy, or other JVM-based languages.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and expand the virtualization layer of HPE’s KVM-based Private Cloud product line.
• Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis for issues such as VM performance degradation, cluster outages, and storage failures.
• Engineer advanced virtualization features, including live migration, snapshotting, hot-swappable vCPUs, dynamic memory management, and NUMA-aware scheduling.
• Tune system performance using tools like hugepages, CPU pinning, macvtap, and VirtIO, with deep expertise in Linux internals (e.g. memory management, CPU affinity).
• Configure and optimize shared storage for high-availability (HA) setups using technologies such as Ceph, LVM, NFS, iSCSI, GFS2, or OCFS2.
• Develop high-performance virtual networking topologies, including virtual bridges, SR-IOV, VLANs, and Open vSwitch.
• Work cross-functionally with product, operations, and customer teams to define requirements and deliver production-grade virtualization solutions.

Other

• This role has been designed as ‘Hybrid’ with an expectation that you will work on average 2 days per week from an HPE office.
• Collaborate with senior engineering leaders to shape the product roadmap, evolve system architecture, and evaluate emerging technologies.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership within the virtualization domain.
• Assist with customer issues as needed and ensure technical standards and documentation requirements are met.
• Collaborate with sales engineering and operational teams to understand customer needs and recommend solutions.
