Position Overview
MetroSys is seeking a highly experienced Senior Nutanix Solutions Architect to lead the architecture, planning, and technical execution of a large-scale enterprise infrastructure migration for one of our clients.
This individual will serve as the primary technical authority for the Nutanix migration initiative, responsible for evaluating the existing infrastructure, designing the target Nutanix environment, developing migration strategies, and providing architectural leadership throughout implementation.
The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in Nutanix HCI technologies, enterprise virtualization, infrastructure modernization, and complex data center migrations. This is a hands-on, client-facing architecture role requiring the ability to translate business and technical requirements into scalable infrastructure designs while providing direct technical guidance to engineering and migration teams.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the technical architecture, planning, and design of a large-scale enterprise migration to Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure.
Assess existing virtualization, compute, storage, networking, application dependencies, and infrastructure configurations to establish migration requirements.
Design scalable, resilient, and high-performance Nutanix environments utilizing AOS, AHV, Prism Central, and supporting technologies.
Develop the overall migration strategy, including workload assessment, migration sequencing, dependency mapping, cutover planning, rollback procedures, and risk mitigation.
Architect migration solutions for workloads transitioning from VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, or other existing virtualization environments.
Establish technical standards, architectural documentation, migration methodologies, and implementation best practices.
Provide technical leadership to Nutanix Engineers and infrastructure teams throughout deployment, migration, testing, and production cutover activities.
Evaluate migration tooling, including Nutanix Move, and determine appropriate migration approaches based on application requirements and infrastructure dependencies.
Architect backup, disaster recovery, replication, and business continuity solutions within the Nutanix environment.
Identify architectural risks, performance bottlenecks, compatibility challenges, and potential migration issues before implementation.
Lead technical design reviews, architecture workshops, and migration readiness discussions with client stakeholders.
Serve as the senior escalation resource for complex migration, virtualization, storage, and infrastructure issues.
Collaborate with application owners, network architects, security teams, and infrastructure leadership to ensure successful platform integration.
Oversee post-migration validation, performance optimization, environment stabilization, and transition into ongoing operations.
Deliver architecture diagrams, technical design documents, migration roadmaps, implementation standards, and knowledge transfer materials.
