You are more than just your resume; you are a reflection of your achievements, the knowledge you've gained, and the personal interests that shape who you are.
Position Overview
Zelis is seeking an Infrastructure Operations Engineer to be the hands-on powerhouse behind our mission-critical data center infrastructure. If you're a traditional Systems Administrator ready to evolve into a Systems Engineer, thrive in on-prem environments, and take pride in solving real-world infrastructure challenges—not clicking around in the cloud console—this role is for you.You’ll work with cutting-edge Dell hardware, VMware virtualization, and Linux/Windows platforms, all while supporting our production environment with minimal downtime, proactive monitoring, and tight vendor partnerships.
Location Requirement: Candidates must reside within 45 minutes of Culpeper, VA and be available to visit the data center a minimum of 2x per month.
What You’ll Do
Own the VMware stack – Configure, manage, and troubleshoot complex vSphere environments (vDS, vSS, etc.) with a focus on performance, uptime, and smart scaling.
Command Dell compute and storage – Deploy, optimize, and maintain Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerStore storage, including zoning and fibre channel SANs.
Keep our data center humming – Oversee rack infrastructure, power, cooling, and network hardware, ensuring uptime and physical reliability.
Troubleshoot across Linux and Windows – Hands-on with RHEL and Windows Server OS—resolving incidents, patching, automating, and optimizing.
Automate everything – Script with PowerShell and PowerCLI to streamline repeatable tasks, improve response times, and reduce manual overhead.
Collaborate cross-functionally – Partner with IT, DevOps, Security, and Engineering to support critical infrastructure initiatives.
Document like a pro – Keep configuration records and SOPs up to date so the environment stays manageable and repeatable.
Continuously improve – Bring fresh eyes and new ideas to everything from capacity management to failover planning.
What You’ll Bring to Zelis
3–5 years in Infrastructure Operations, Systems Admin, or Systems Engineering roles.
Proficiency with VMware vSphere, Dell compute/storage, and Linux (RHEL) environments.
Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (VLANs, DNS, TCP/UDP, iSCSI, fibre channel, VMware vDS/vSS).
Experience working with data center equipment, including physical setup and vendor coordination.
Solid scripting ability using PowerShell and PowerCLI.
Excellent problem-solving instincts, ability to operate independently, and readiness to grow technically.
Nice to Have
Certifications: VMware VCTA/VCP, RHCSA, Dell server/storage certifications, or Microsoft Hybrid Admin.
Familiarity with VMware Aria Operations, storage capacity planning, and telemetry-based monitoring tools.
Understanding of Dell PowerStore automation modules and APIs.
What This Role Is Not
Not a cloud-only position – This is for engineers who love data center and on-prem environments.
Not entry-level – This requires hands-on depth and cross-platform knowledge, not just clicking through UIs.
Not purely Windows-focused – Linux experience is essential to succeed here.

We foster a hybrid and remote friendly culture, and all our employee's work locations are based on the needs of the position and determined by the Leadership team.
