Why will you enjoy this new opportunity?

Your opportunity on this team is to collaborate with customers who face these challenges, and work closely with our amazingly talented group, to cut through ambiguity, plan roadmaps, measure and prove value during short yet impactful consulting engagements.

The process relies on your creativity to gather needed information, discover the root cause of technical concerns, and turn those insights into cohesive and flexible strategies that meet evolving customer expectations.

Short (hours, days or a handful of weeks) engagements mean an exciting, fast-paced set of conversations where you will up-level your technical and consulting skills while sharpening your storytelling capacities.

Short engagements also means a lot of iteration - a unique opportunity to practice your craft, help shape our team's template for success, and develop your eye for patterns in the industry.

Success in the Role:
What performance outcomes will you be working toward over the first 6-12 months?

You'll work closely with your peers right from the start to understand and iterate on our practices to make them more impactful, repeatable, and scalable as our team grows.
Within 30 days you'll understand the VMware and related platforms and products used by our customers.
Within two months, you'll join a team of Program Strategists and other Solutions Architects on a customer engagement. You'll interview customer engineers, run automated analysis tools, and help the team make decisions based on the data you collect. You'll get "hands on" with existing source code to improve it and/or modernize it in order to prove the value of our software and solutions.

The Work:
What type of work will you be doing? What assignments, requirements, or skills will you be performing on a regular basis?
While every customer engagement is different, you can expect a variety of the following:

Be part of short and impactful projects
from a few hours to six weeks (at most)
focused on helping customers determine and prove first viable steps in complex scenarios.
Use, improve and develop discovery and automated migration tooling to accelerate and derisk complex work
Lead internal initiatives that improve our delivery tooling and methodologies.
Lead workshops using Domain Driven Design, agile and lean techniques to understand system design and plan future state architectures.
Build and test microservices in Spring and Java or Steeltoe and.

NET core, and work hands-on (typically in a proof of value context) using customer codebases in a variety of languages, technologies, and frameworks.

Working knowledge of kubernetes and experience with build and deployment of workloads onto kubernetes
Basic understanding of infrastructure, network and storage technologies for onprem and/or public cloud
Write documentation and playbooks capturing concrete tactical patterns for modernizing large complex software systems that involve many teams, technologies, and platforms.
Contribute back to the VMware team through mentorship, giving talks, and experience reports.

What is the leadership team like? What is the structure and culture of the team?

We are big thinkers who generate a lot of ideas, debate with kindness, collaborate on initiatives that matter, and maintain a safe space for all.

We support each other by whatever means necessary, and trust each other to get the job done right, in a way that accommodates a flexible schedule to balance work and life.

We look forward to welcoming team members, and work hard to make sure the onboarding process is smooth.

Where is this role located?
Today the job is fully remote, and it's hard to accurately predict what the future may hold.

We prioritize project staffing based on requirements, skill, and location. We believe the fastest way to build customer rapport and authentic relationships is in person.

When we kickoff a project in person, working remotely with "new friends" is much easier, leading to happier and more productive remote days.

Once the pandemic is behind us, we expect this mode of occasional travel (10-30% overall) to start and close a project will be commonplace.

Having flexibility to accommodate this reality is important.
