Thin Technologies is a fast-growing Professional Services Provider that offers Enterprise-grade IT architecture, engineering, and deployment services to both US-based and global partners. With our Consulting practice currently experiencing accelerated growth, we are seeking to fill a position for a highly skilled Senior Infrastructure Deployment Engineer to lead and execute a coordinated refresh, migration, and upgrade project nationwide. Willingness to travel is a must. You will handle site readiness validation, physical server installations, and complex virtual workload migrations from VMware ESXi to Hyper-V. Because environments vary, you must excel at exception handling, troubleshooting undocumented infrastructure, and managing vendor or application dependencies on-site.
