Key skills for this role
Join Pitney Bowes as Senior Advisory Software Engineer
Years of experience: 8–10 years
We are looking for a hands-on, senior infrastructure architect who owns the reliability of our on-premises data center estate – the compute, virtualization, hyperconverged, storage, and network-security backbone that our production services depend on. This is a role for someone who has designed, operated, and hardened enterprise data centers at scale, and who can raise the resilience bar of an established 24/7 Enterprise Operations Center. You will not simply keep the lights on; you will critically evaluate the estate, expose hidden risk, and drive permanent, architectural fixes.
We actively look for prospects who demonstrate:
Deep expertise across on-premises data center infrastructure – hyperconverged (Nutanix), virtualization (VMware vSphere/ESXi), and software-defined networking and security (VMware NSX)
The ability to assess redundancy, high availability, and disaster recovery (DR) posture across data centers, and to close the gap between designed resilience and actual resilience
A rigorous, evidence-driven approach to reliability: DR testing, failover validation, failure-mode analysis, and validated recovery
Strong grounding in compute, storage, and network architecture, including capacity planning and performance optimization
The instinct to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and prompt effective investigations rather than accept surface-level explanations
Strong ownership of blameless post-mortems and the discipline to convert incidents into permanent, systemic fixes
Collaboration: Partnering closely with SRE, engineering, network, security, and cloud teams, and advising leadership on infrastructure resilience strategy and risk.
Problem-solving: Tackling complex, ambiguous challenges in data center design, virtualization, resilience, scalability, and performance across a hybrid estate.

Efficiency: Driving automation, standardization, and permanent remediation to reduce operational toil and recurring incidents.
If this sounds like you, then you may be a great fit for Pitney Bowes.
Education: B.E./B.Tech/MCA or equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. 8–13 years of progressive experience in data center infrastructure, virtualization, and hyperconverged platforms, including significant time operating large-scale, mission-critical on-premises environments. Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills in English. Self-motivated and able to prioritize and drive outcomes independently across multiple stakeholders. Relevant certifications (e.g., Nutanix NCP/NCM, VMware VCP/VCAP – DCV or NV, ITIL) are a strong plus.
Operate as a senior data center and virtualization architect within the Enterprise Operations Center (EOC), a 24/7 corporate IT operations and security function responsible for the availability, performance, and resilience of production services running across on-premises data centers (KDC, PDC, MDC) and AWS Cloud. You will independently evaluate the architecture of the on-premises estate – Nutanix hyperconverged clusters, VMware vSphere/ESXi hosts, and NSX network-security fabric – expose single points of failure, and validate that redundancy and DR mechanisms actually work as designed, not just on paper.
You will design and lead DR tests and failover exercises, mature the team's reliability practices, review and elevate runbooks, and set the standard for high-quality post-mortems and permanent remediation. Working alongside SRE, network, and cloud teams, you will ask the incisive questions that steer investigations to true root cause and ensure fixes are architectural rather than temporary. You will advise leadership on infrastructure risk and roadmap, and help embed observability, automation, and resilience-by-design across the estate (New Relic, Grafana, LogicMonitor, Site24x7, CloudWatch; ITSM via JIRA/JSM).
Exposure to AWS Cloud – core compute, networking, storage, and hybrid connectivity between on-premises and cloud (secondary to the on-prem focus of this role).
Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and hybrid platform integration.
Nutanix (NCP/NCM) and VMware (VCP/VCAP – DCV or NV) certifications, or equivalent.
Experience defining and running formal DR programs and enterprise resilience frameworks.
Exposure to security tooling and practices (e.g., CrowdStrike, Zscaler, CyberArk) in a hybrid environment.
Experience with AI-driven operations (AIOps) – alert correlation, anomaly detection, and AI-assisted PIR/RCA workflows.
Experience mentoring engineers and influencing architecture across multiple teams.
Automation and scripting skills (e.g., PowerShell/PowerCLI, Python, Ansible) for infrastructure operations and remediation.
Hands-on with observability and monitoring tooling (e.g., LogicMonitor, New Relic, Grafana, Site24x7) and with ITSM platforms (JIRA/JSM).
Primarily a senior advisory/architecture role, with participation in a rotational on-call escalation model for major incidents.
Weekend and public-holiday on-call escalation support as required.
