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
