We are looking for a Senior Horizon Engineer to improve and evolve our global, large-scale Omnissa Horizon environment. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role with strong emphasis on platform automation, repeatability, and data-driven decision making. You will be responsible not only for keeping the platform stable, but for improving how it is operated over time through automation, standardization, and evidence-based optimization.

This is a specialist Horizon engineering role, not a generic Modern Workplace position.

What you'll do

• Operate and support production VMware Horizon (Omnissa) environments
• Own and execute Horizon platform upgrades (agents, pods, components) with minimal user impact
• Troubleshoot and remediate performance, stability, and user-experience issues using metrics and evidence, not guesswork
• Diagnose and resolve authentication and login-related issues (AD, GPOs, certificates, SSO, MFA integrations)
• Design and implement repeatable processes using PowerShell-first automation, APIs, and infrastructure-as-code principles where applicable
• Use monitoring and operational data to drive capacity planning, tuning, and remediation decisions
• Work closely with infrastructure, networking, and security teams on cross-domain issues and improvements
• Analyse and address resource contention across compute, memory, storage, network, and vGPU where applicable
• Participate in remediation initiatives related to performance degradation, login latency, session instability, and user-impacting incidents
• Continuously reduce manual operational effort through scripting, standardisation, and platform improvements

Who you are

• A senior, hands-on Horizon engineer with 7+ years of real production experience
• Comfortable taking ownership of both technical outcomes and operational quality
• Experienced in applying automation and infrastructure-as-code thinking to improve reliability and consistency (even if not everything is fully codified)
• Data-driven in how you troubleshoot, optimize and justify changes
• Execution-focused, with a strong bias toward fixing root causes rather than symptoms
• Calm and methodical under pressure, especially during incidents
• Clear communicator who can explain technical decisions using evidence and impact

• A senior engineer with 7+ years of experience operating virtual desktop or EUC infrastructure platforms in production environments
• Experienced troubleshooting session-based desktop environments, including login flows, authentication dependencies, and desktop performance issues
• Comfortable working across infrastructure layers including virtualization, storage, networking, identity services, and endpoint images
• Experienced in applying automation and infrastructure-as-code thinking to improve reliability and operational consistency
• Data-driven in how you troubleshoot and optimise systems, using metrics and evidence rather than assumptions
