Job Description

Job Description

Our mission is to create the Experience of a Lifetime for our employees, so they can, in turn, create the Experience of a Lifetime for our guests. We own and operate the most renowned destination resorts in the world as well as regional and local ski areas outside major cities, and connect them all through one unrivaled network. We are looking for ambitious leaders, innovators and creators to join our talented team. If you’re ready to pursue your fullest potential, we want to get to know you!

Candidates for year-round positions are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applications will be accepted up to 90 days after the posting date, or until the position is filled (whichever is first).

Job Summary :

You’ll lead the migration of legacy virtualized workloads (VMware, Nutanix) to modern cloud‑native and container platforms, and architect an automated, continuously‑updated DR playbook that is embedded in our entire development lifecycle. Your expertise will help Vail Resorts keep guests safe, staff productive, and revenue streams resilient—no matter what the future holds.

  • Virtualization Migration :

  • Own and execute VMware‑to‑Nutanix, VM‑to‑Container, and VMware / Nutanix‑to‑Cloud‑Native migrations.
  • Implement “lift‑and‑shift” as well as re‑platforming strategies, guiding teams to move workloads to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Container Instances, or serverless where appropriate.
  • Criticality & Dependency Mapping :

  • Conduct systematic assessments of system criticality, create dependency matrices, and identify fail‑over boundaries.
  • Translate organizational risk profiles into concrete DR controls.
  • Business Continuity & Exercises :

  • Design, schedule, and run full‑scale DR drills across environments.
  • Post‑exercise retrospectives, gap analyses, and corrective action plans.
  • Automation & Knowledge “Source of Truth” :

  • Build a dynamic, version‑controlled recovery playbook using DevOps tooling (Git, Terraform, ARM / Blueprints, Azure Policy).

  • Champion DR as a pillar of the development lifecycle and product delivery.
  • Thought Leadership & Continuous Improvement :

  • Stay ahead of emerging DR / Cloud technologies, industry standards (IRIS, ISO 22301, NIST), and vendor roadmaps.
  • Mentor architects and engineers in DR best practices.
  • Job Requirements : Experience :

  • 10+ years in IT architecture, with 5+ in disaster recovery, cloud migration, or resiliency engineering.
  • Proven record of delivering multi‑cloud DR solutions at scale.
  • Technical Expertise :

  • Hands‑on proficiency with VMware vSphere, Nutanix AHV, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and PowerShell / Bash scripting.
  • Experience orchestrating large‑scale VM conversions to containers or cloud‑native deployments.
  • Architectural Thinking :

  • Ability to assess system criticality and map intricate inter‑service dependencies.
  • Comfortable designing end‑to‑end recovery paths that balance RTO / RPO with cost and operational constraints.
  • Business Continuity :

  • Track record of developing, testing, and maintaining business‑continuity plans in regulated or high‑availability environments.
  • Automation & DevOps :

  • Comfortable using Git CI / CD, IaC, and configuration management to create “source of truth” recovery artefacts.
  • Communication & Leadership :

  • Excellent written and verbal communication.
  • Skilled at leading cross‑organizational initiatives and mentoring teams.
  • Education :

  • Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).
  • Certified Azure Solutions Architect Expert or equivalent.
  • VMware Certified Professional (VCP) and Nutanix Certified Administrator (NCA).
  • Experience managing DR for high‑traffic public‑facing services (e.g., reservation engines, mobile app backends).
