Job Description Sutherland is looking for a Senior Virtualization Engineer where you have deep hands-on expertise in Proxmox VE and Nutanix (AOS/AHV), and strong VMware knowledge, to lead platform assessment and migration of VMware workloads to Nutanix and/or Proxmox. You will own day-to-day platform engineering tasks across assessment, migration planning & execution, and Day-2 operational stabilization, working closely with a cross-functional team of infrastructure, network, security, and application owners. Key Responsibilities - Lead technical assessment of current VMware estate (inventory, dependencies, criticality, constraints) and define target architecture for Proxmox and/or Nutanix. - Define success criteria, test plans and validation steps across compute, storage, network, backup/DR, monitoring, and security. - Build and configure lab/PoC environments (clusters, storage, networking, management tooling) and document findings and recommendations with risks and trade-offs. - Design migration waves, cutover approaches, validation steps, and rollback plans; coordinate change approvals and maintenance windows. - Execute workload migrations from VMware to Nutanix AHV and/or Proxmox (VM conversion, network/storage mapping, guest OS readiness, post-migration verification). - Troubleshoot migration issues across hypervisor, storage, network, and guest OS layers; drive problem resolution to closure. - Establish operational runbooks and standards: patch/upgrade process, backups, DR tests, monitoring/alerting, capacity/performance management, and incident response. - Ensure high availability and resiliency configuration (cluster HA, live migration, storage redundancy); perform failover and recovery drills. - Produce documentation and deliver knowledge transfer to internal teams (admin guides, SOPs, architecture diagrams). - Automate provisioning and configuration where feasible (Ansible/IaC; scripting) and standardize templates for VM builds. - Integrate with enterprise services (directory services, DNS/DHCP, NTP, PKI) and align security hardening requirements. - Work with application owners to plan migrations, validate functionality and performance, and minimize downtime. - Communicate progress, risks, and decisions clearly to stakeholders; contribute to project status and technical documentation. - Work as part of a global team and capability to travel globally (up to 5% of the time) to support engineering activities. Experience & Skills - Proven hands-on administration of Proxmox VE in production: clustering, HA, KVM/QEMU, LXC, storage (Ceph and/or ZFS), networking (bridges, VLANs, bonding), upgrades and troubleshooting. - Proven hands-on administration of Nutanix: AOS, AHV, Prism (Element/Central), cluster deployment/expansion, storage/container concepts, networking and security constructs, LCM upgrades, and troubleshooting. - Strong VMware vSphere background (ESXi/vCenter) and experience migrating workloads from VMware to alternative hypervisors. - Robust Linux administration (Debian/Ubuntu and/or RHEL-based), shell scripting, and automation mindset (Ansible; Terraform/PowerShell beneficial). - Backup/restore and DR concepts; experience integrating platforms with enterprise backup tooling (e.g., Veeam). - Solid understanding of datacenter networking and storage fundamentals (DNS/DHCP/NTP, TCP/IP, firewalls, iSCSI/NFS, multipath). - Strong documentation, troubleshooting and stakeholder communication skills; able to work independently in a contractor capacity. Good-to-Have - Nutanix ecosystem components such as NCM/Calm, Flow/Flow Security, and/or NC2 (Nutanix Clusters in the Cloud). - Monitoring/observability tooling (Dynatrace or similar). - Security hardening experience for Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., STIG-aligned practices). - Experience with enterprise-scale migrations and regulated .
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
