Senior Infrastructure Architect

Senior Infrastructure Architect – VMware UK | Home-Based | Permanent We're working with an established UK technology services business that's continuing to invest in its private cloud infrastructure and looking to bring in an experienced VMware Architect to help shape the next generation of its cloud platforms and managed services. This is an opportunity to take ownership of architecture across complex VMware environments, with a particular focus on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF 9+), private cloud, multi-tenancy, networking, security and platform automation. You'll be working closely with Product, Engineering and Architecture teams, helping to define technical direction, influence platform roadmaps and ensure solutions are secure, scalable and built for long-term operational success. What we're looking for:

• Strong architecture experience across VMware environments, particularly VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), vSphere, vSAN and NSX
• Experience designing complex private cloud infrastructure, including management and workload domains, multi-site environments and enterprise platform architectures
• Good understanding of VMware Cloud Director, VCF Operations and VCF Automation
• Experience with multi-tenant environments, network segmentation, micro-segmentation and security architecture
• Ability to produce technical designs, reference architectures, standards and implementation guidance
• Exposure to Kubernetes, platform engineering, Infrastructure as Code and automation
• Background working within managed services, service providers or complex enterprise environments
• Confidence working with technical stakeholders, challenging designs and influencing architectural decisions The opportunity This isn't simply about maintaining existing VMware infrastructure. You'll have the opportunity to influence how private cloud services evolve, including the adoption of VCF 9+, self-service automation, Kubernetes-enabled platforms and emerging Private AI capabilities. There's also scope for broader architectural leadership, contributing to technical strategy, governance and the development of other engineers and architects. Experience with VMware Private AI Foundation, NVIDIA GPU platforms or AI workloads would be advantageous, but isn't essential. If you're an experienced VMware Architect looking for more ownership, technical influence and the opportunity to shape modern private cloud platforms, I'd be keen to have a conversation.
