Software Engineer — Hyper- V

Location's: Seattle, WA Palo Alto, CA New York, NY New Jersey Plano, TX Work Type: Contract (9 months) Redapt Inc. is a pioneering world-class data center infrastructure integrator, technology engineering firm, and cloud services provider. Our teams focus on delivering innovative solutions and services that power our customers' most demanding applications and enable them to extract powerful insights from data that drive true business value.

You will engineer and operate enterprise-scale Microsoft Hyper-V virtual infrastructure across global data centers. You will apply depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple domains — hypervisor platforms, storage, networking, clustering, performance engineering, and security compliance — to deploy, optimize, and maintain virtual infrastructure that supports tens of thousands of workloads across multiple regions.

Responsibilities

Architecture Systems Design Design and maintain Hyper-V cluster architectures including failover clustering, live migration, storage configuration, and network topology across global data center pools. Evaluate hardware BOMs proposed by hardware engineering for Hyper-V performance characteristics — processor/memory ratios, storage throughput, network bandwidth, and overcommit suitability — and provide technical feedback to inform procurement decisions. Audit performance of complex virtual infrastructure across the full stack — compute, storage, networking, and hypervisor layers — and maintain architecture artifacts (high-level design documents, decision records, diagrams) using firmwide tooling.

Develop and document reference architectures and best practices for Hyper-V cluster deployment, storage configuration, and workload placement. NET-based workload management platform. Write PowerShell scripts for host configuration management, inventory collection, cluster operations, and firmware deployment across the Hyper-V fleet.

NET 8 workload management platform as needed — including the server-side orchestration API, distributed worker engine, and Windows client agent components. Provide stewardship to other engineers in support of quality delivery — peer reviewing automation scripts, infrastructure designs, and technical documentation. Automation Continuous Delivery Advocate for and implement infrastructure automation, identifying opportunities to automate, combine, or simplify operational processes with a focus on scalability versus resource use.

Develop and maintain automation for Hyper-V host configuration, cluster provisioning, rolling upgrades, and compliance enforcement using PowerShell DSC, scripts, and the team's workload management platform. Support and evolve CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure automation tooling, including multi-environment deployment and automated testing. Distributed Systems Design Development Plan and execute Hyper-V cluster upgrades, Windows Server rolling upgrades, and hypervisor patch rollouts across production environments with zero or minimal downtime.

Troubleshoot production issues across the virtual infrastructure stack — hypervisor, clustering, storage, and networking layers — using structured logging, event tracing, performance counters, and vendor diagnostic tools. Consider all risks, potential environmental impacts, and FinOps implications when designing and implementing infrastructure changes. Data Fluency Identify appropriate data sources and apply appropriate methodologies when making data-based recommendations for capacity planning, performance optimization, and hardware procurement decisions.
