About this Role

The VM Migration Expert will be responsible for end‑to‑end execution of VMware‑based virtual machine migrations between datacenters using VMware HCX, ensuring minimal downtime, controlled cutovers, and stable post‑migration operations. The role requires strong hands‑on expertise across VMware, Windows, Linux, and close coordination with infrastructure and application teams.

In this Role, You Will:

· Perform pre‑migration checks (VMware Tools, snapshots, power state, disks, connectivity)

· Build and configure PowerFlex Grid using PowerFlex deployment and implementation tools

· Create and manage VMware HCX Mobility Groups and initiate Bulk/RAV replications

· Monitor replication health and remediate sync failures; complete cutover readiness checks

· Execute batch VM cutovers during approved migration windows and monitor HCX jobs

·  Power on migrated VMs at target DC and validate OS boot and service auto‑start

· Perform post‑migration validation (OS checks, DNS/NTP/LDAP reachability, application ports) and obtain app sign‑off

· Decommission source VMs post cutover, clean up orphaned VMDKs, and raise decom tickets per client process

· Maintain migration reporting (dashboards, wave completion, KPIs) and coordinate with Infra/App teams, CAB, and hypercare

Required Qualifications:

·       Demonstrated experience in datacenter infrastructure and VM migration operations, or equivalent experience gained through work, training, military service, or formal education.

Desired Qualifications:

·       8 to 10 years of hands‑on experience in VMware‑based infrastructure operations and migrations

·       Strong expertise in VMware vSphere, HCX (Bulk, RAV), vCenter, ESXi

·       Proven experience migrating Windows and Linux virtual machines across datacenters

·       Solid understanding of VM lifecycle, snapshots, disk layouts, and VMTools

·       Working knowledge of storage platforms (PowerFlex preferred) and datastore management

·       Ability to troubleshoot migration failures related to replication, connectivity, and OS boot issues

·       Good understanding of network fundamentals (VLANs, IP changes, DNS, firewall dependencies)

·       Experience working in change‑controlled enterprise environments with CAB participation

·       Strong coordination and communication skills for working with infra and application stakeholders

·       VMware certifications (VCP / HCX exposure) and automation exposure (PowerCLI / scripting) are a plus

· 

Work Environment & Benefits:

• Hybrid Work Model: Combination of on-site and remote work, depending on business needs.
• Collaborative Culture: Work closely with cross-functional teams, vendors, and senior leadership.
