Requirements

Must:
We require an experienced enterprise Citrix Subject Matter Expert (SME) and engineer who is comfortable being the highest point of escalation for Citrix issues in a high uptime and change-controlled environment. Candidates should have a strong engineering-level background in Citrix and VDI permanent roles; we're not considering consultants, freelancers, or self-employed individuals. You must demonstrate strong experience with our Citrix technology stack, which includes a new Citrix DaaS, two legacy CVAD environments, VMware-based on-prem hosting transitioning to XenServer, ShareFile, and a dedicated storage infrastructure built on PureStorage arrays. We seek individuals who are self-sufficient, resourceful, and possess troubleshooting abilities across server, virtualization, storage, and networking technologies that support Citrix/VDI. Collaborating well with other SMEs within the team is essential.

Additionally, you will manage and maintain the VDI Work Plan and oversee the delivery of the VDI Annual Continuous Service Improvement Plan. This position primarily focuses on operating, managing, and continuously improving the existing Citrix environment, with limited scope for project work outside of this framework.
