Azure Cloud VDI Engineer
** This position is eligible for up to a 30k sign on bonus**
We are looking for a highly skilled and driven Azure Cloud VDI Engineer to architect, build, and optimize our next-generation global Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution in the Microsoft Azure cloud environment. This engineer will be responsible for the design, deployment, performance tuning, and cost optimization of Citrix-based VDI services running in the cloud, with a critical focus on scalability, reliability, and user experience.
This is not a maintenance-only role. We're seeking someone who thrives on innovation, continuously pilots new technologies, and refuses to settle for "good enough." You will be responsible for building smart, automated, and scalable systems that enable just-in-time provisioning of desktops for a global end user community—delivering maximum performance with minimal cloud cost.
Key Responsibilities:
• Architect and deploy Citrix VDI services in the Azure cloud to support global end user computing needs.
• Design, implement, and maintain dynamic scaling and automation to support just-in-time desktop provisioning and efficient resource usage.
• Engineer and optimize Azure cloud resources (compute, networking, storage, identity) to support scalable and secure VDI infrastructure.
• Conduct benchmark testing of VDI images, analyze performance metrics, and implement tuning measures to ensure a high-quality user experience.
• Collaborate with security, network, and support teams to ensure VDI services meet compliance and availability standards.
• Evaluate and pilot alternative VDI platforms (e.g., Azure Virtual Desktop, VMware Horizon Cloud) to compare performance, cost, and manageability.
• Monitor, analyze, and continuously improve the VDI environment to ensure optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
• Maintain documentation for architecture, deployments, performance baselines, and configuration standards.
• Stay current with industry best practices, emerging technologies, and evolving cloud VDI trends.

Azure Cloud VDI Engineer must have:
● Education: Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science

● Technical skills:
● Must be willing to support an on-call rotation
● Security clearance level: TS/SCI w/Poly

● Certification Required: 8570 compliant with a Security + certificate
