Vmware Architect(VCF) with HPE Morpheus Experience

VMware Architect(VCF) with HPE Morpheus Experience

Seattle, WA

6 Months Contract

Role Summary

We are seeking a Senior Cloud Migration Architect / Engineer with deep, hands-on expertise in HPE Morpheus (formerly Morpheus Data, now part of HPE) to lead the migration of enterprise workloads onto and across our virtualized infrastructure. This role is intentionally structured for a highly independent, self-directed contributor the core infrastructure team is fully committed to the concurrent VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) build-out, so this person will own the Morpheus workload migration effort largely on their own, with minimal day-to-day oversight.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and drive end-to-end workload migration using HPE Morpheus, from discovery and assessment through cutover and validation
• Design and implement Morpheus-based migration blueprints and orchestration workflows to automate the movement of workloads from legacy (non-VCF) vSphere infrastructure into the new VCF environment, as well as across cloud and hybrid targets coordinating with underlying migration tooling (e.g., HCX, vMotion) where needed for actual workload transfer
• Configure and administer the Morpheus platform itself instances, provisioning, catalogs, policies, integrations, and RBAC as needed to support migration work
• Independently identify migration risks, dependencies, and sequencing, and build a migration plan without requiring close direction from the core infrastructure team
• Integrate Morpheus with underlying VMware infrastructure (vSphere 8 / VCF, Broadcom-owned) to enable workload visibility, provisioning, and lifecycle management across environments
• Build automation and tooling (scripts, IaC, orchestration) to make migrations repeatable, auditable, and low-touch
• Validate migrated workloads for performance, connectivity, and configuration parity; troubleshoot issues independently
• Document migration runbooks, decisions, and outcomes clearly enough that others can follow without live walkthroughs
• Proactively communicate status, blockers, and risks asynchronously, given limited bandwidth from the core team to sync in real time
• Coordinate lightly with the infrastructure/platform team on shared dependencies (network, storage, VCF timelines) without requiring them for daily execution

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong, hands-on HPE Morpheus experience platform administration, workload/application onboarding, and migration execution
• Demonstrated experience migrating production workloads in an enterprise environment (VM-based and/or containerized)
• Solid working knowledge of VMware vSphere 8 / VCF (Broadcom) environments as a migration source or target, including familiarity with migration tooling such as HCX or vMotion
• Strong Infrastructure as Code skills to automate provisioning and migration steps
• Strong scripting/automation ability to reduce manual migration effort and build repeatable processes
• Proven ability to work independently with minimal guidance self-scoping, self-prioritizing, and unblocking own work
• Strong documentation and asynchronous communication skills

Nice to Have / Preferred

• Experience with the broader VMware/Broadcom ecosystem (VKS, Aria Suite, etc.) as a migration target/source
• Experience with GitOps/CI-CD tooling (GitHub Actions, Flux, Argo CD) to support migration automation
• Background in large-scale enterprise migration programs (data center consolidation, cloud migration, M&A infrastructure integration)
• Experience building migration runbooks/playbooks used by other teams

Engagement Details

• Type: Contract
• Level: Senior / Expert high autonomy required
• Primary Technology: HPE Morpheus (workload migration focus)
• Supporting Technologies: VMware vSphere 8 / VCF, IaC, automation/scripting
• Working Model: Largely independent; core infrastructure team is engaged on parallel VCF work and has limited availability for support

Thanks,

Vinod.
