Vailexa · Seattle
At Vailexa, we’re not just hiring — we’re building thinkers, creators, and future leaders.
We believe in giving people the space to grow, the freedom to think, and the opportunity to create real impact from day one. If you’re someone who wants to learn fast, take ownership, and grow beyond limits, you’ll feel right at home here.
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
