Lead Virtualization Engineer

📍 Pune 🏷️ Software Development 💰 ₹147,500 / month

About the Role

Hinjewadi in Pune has a Lead Virtualization Engineer opening, full time, on site, with a software team managing virtualized infrastructure across the organization. Eleven years of experience is the expectation, and this lead role carries real authority over virtualization architecture decisions.

A Day in This Job

The work covers designing and building software components, working closely with product and QA teams, reviewing code, and troubleshooting issues reported by users, all applied to a virtualized environment. A lead engineer here reviews resource allocation decisions from other engineers, since overprovisioning or underprovisioning both cause real problems at scale.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Own virtualization architecture decisions
  • Review resource allocation decisions from other engineers
  • Troubleshoot complex virtualization issues
  • Mentor other engineers on virtualization best practices

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with practical, hands-on project experience and proven proficiency in the relevant languages and frameworks.

Skills That Matter

  • VMware or Hyper-V at an expert level
  • Virtualization concepts
  • Troubleshooting

Good to Have

Experience managing a genuinely large virtualized environment, familiarity with a hybrid cloud virtualization setup, and any background where a resource allocation mistake was caught and corrected before causing a real outage.

Why This Role

Hinjewadi is one of Pune's largest IT clusters, and this team's virtualized infrastructure supports systems across the organization, giving a lead engineer's decisions real, wide-reaching impact. Naukri Mitra has listed a few software roles from this employer, and lead engineers who've joined recently describe resource allocation review as the part of the job requiring the most judgment, since both over- and under-provisioning cause genuine problems that aren't always immediately obvious.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a technical round on virtualization architecture and a discussion of a past resource allocation decision. Candidates who describe learning from a past miscalculation tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance covering the employee and immediate family
  • Paid time off
  • Performance-linked bonuses
  • On-site cafeteria facilities and cab or commute support

Location & Pay

This role is based at Hinjewadi, Pune, pin code 411057, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to ₹1,47,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six weeks.
