A company in Rushikonda IT SEZ, Visakhapatnam, is hiring an Associate Citrix Administrator for a full-time, on-site role. The position pays INR 63,500 a month.
Day-to-day responsibilities
- Manage and maintain the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment for end users
- Publish and configure applications so the right users have access to the right resources
- Monitor session performance, catching slowdowns before they turn into a wave of user complaints
- Troubleshoot login, connectivity, and application delivery issues reported by staff
- Support routine patching and updates to the Citrix infrastructure
A recent issue on the team: a published application disappeared from a subset of users' desktops right after a routine Citrix update, and it took some digging through delivery group assignments to find that the update had reset a policy filter tied to a specific Active Directory group. Once the pattern across the affected users clicked, the fix was simple, but getting there meant checking session details for each user until a pattern showed up. That kind of methodical checking comes up often in Citrix administration.
Skills needed
Citrix virtualization knowledge is the core requirement, along with real experience in application delivery and solid troubleshooting instincts. Someone stepping into this role should be comfortable diagnosing whether a problem sits with the Citrix environment itself, the network, or the underlying application.
A few additional skills would help an application stand out:
- Citrix Certified Associate - Virtualization (CCA-V) certification
- Familiarity with provisioning methods such as PVS or MCS
- Basic PowerShell scripting for routine administrative tasks
- Working knowledge of Active Directory and Group Policy management
Qualifications and experience
A bachelor's degree is required for this associate-level position. Hands-on exposure to the specific tools used in this role, even from a lab environment or a prior internship, is genuinely useful during the interview process. In terms of experience, this role requires 12 months of relevant work in virtualization or infrastructure support.
Pay and benefits
The role pays INR 63,500 a month. This listing on Naukri Mitra includes health insurance, paid time off, and provident fund contributions as standard. Since the position is on-site in Rushikonda IT SEZ, relocation assistance and accommodation support are also available for candidates relocating from other cities.
Working on this team
User-facing support work has a certain rhythm to it: quiet stretches of routine monitoring and configuration, punctuated by a scramble when a Citrix update or infrastructure change breaks something unexpectedly for a large group of users. Associates on this team get direct exposure to the full Citrix stack early on, rather than being confined to a single narrow piece, which tends to accelerate the pace at which someone builds real expertise.
How to apply
Send a resume that details any hands-on Citrix work you've done, whether through a job, an internship, or a personal lab setup. If you've configured a Citrix environment or troubleshot a delivery issue before, describe what you did and how you approached it. Shortlisted candidates will undergo a technical interview covering basic Citrix administration scenarios.
