About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Principal Cloud Architect to lead the design phase of a complex enterprise cloud transformation for a key client. In this role, you will work directly with the client's engineering team to define and document a complete VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF 9.1) solution — spanning virtualization, networking, storage, containers, and monitoring — and serve as the primary technical authority throughout the engagement.

What You'll Do

Lead multiple design workshops with the client's engineering team over several weeks to define the full VCF solution architecture
Design an end-to-end VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 environment covering vSphere (virtualization), NSX (networking), vSAN (storage), VKS (containers), and the full Aria/vRealize monitoring stack (vROPS, vRNI, vRLI)
Define the integration architecture between VCF and the client's existing cloud services — including compliance, authentication, and security systems
Adapt and design provisioning systems to enable automation aligned with VCF standards, covering VM and container creation workflows
Produce detailed engineering and architecture documents to serve as deployment references for the implementation team
Interface with client stakeholders to ensure the solution meets both technical and business requirements

Requirements

What You Bring

7+ years of enterprise cloud infrastructure architecture experience
Hands-on VMware Cloud Foundation experience (VCF 4.x/5.x required; VCF 9.x strongly preferred)
Deep expertise across two or more VCF pillars: vSphere, NSX-T, vSAN, VKS/Tanzu
Experience with vROPS, vRNI, and/or vRLI monitoring platforms
Proven ability to lead technical workshops and produce architecture/engineering documentation
Strong communication and client-facing skills
Must be local to Michigan (hybrid engagement)

Nice to Have

VMware certifications: VCDX, VCAP-DCV, VCP-VCF, or NSX specialist
Experience with infrastructure automation (Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
Broadcom partner network background

Benefits

$80/hr on a 1099 basis
