Forward Deployed Engineer (Staff)
We are seeking a hands on, highly engaged Forward Deployed Engineer (Staff) specializing in Kubernetes, platform modernization, large scale stateful workload migration, and enterprise AI infrastructure. In this role, you will be embedded directly alongside enterprise client teams throughout the entire end to end lifecycle of an engagement. From initial architecture, bare metal/legacy re platforming, and AI cluster setup to live in the field troubleshooting and production rollout.
What you'll do:
- Direct Engineering to Field Collaboration: Act as an embedded engineering liaison across the Infrastructure Software Division, working directly with core software architects, product managers, and enterprise client developers to eliminate deployment friction.
- Rapid Iteration & Friction Reduction: Identify recurring migration blockers and platform usability gaps in real world customer environments, rapidly building and testing field fixes to shorten feature iteration cycles from months to days.
- End to End Engagement Ownership: Stay actively embedded with customer technical teams from pre migration discovery through go live and operational stabilization, ensuring successful platform adoption and high customer trust.
- Hands on Field Implementation & Troubleshooting: Work shoulder to shoulder with client engineers in production environments to write code, build manifests, debug live networking/storage/GPU failures, and optimize VKS performance.
- Engineering Feedback Loop & Feature Prioritization: Synthesize field tested code, architectural patterns, and customer pain points directly into core engineering requirements. Partner with product managers and core engineers to translate customer contributions into prioritized platform features.
- VKS & AI Infrastructure Architecture: Architect, deploy, and maintain production grade vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) clusters across VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and hybrid cloud infrastructure, optimized for both general purpose compute and accelerated GPU/NPU workloads.
