Python Developer - Infrastructure - VMWare - 12 month contract - Glasgow Hybrid (3 days onsite)

Are you a Python Developer and enjoy solving infrastructure challenges and automate infrastructure solutions? Then I have the project for you!

I am looking for a skilled Python Developer who wants to be part of a specialist engineering team leading a major transformation programme for a client in Glasgow. You'll have the chance to build and automate large-scale virtualisation platforms, working with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and related technologies to deliver reliable, scalable solutions across a global environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing Python-based tooling and Ansible playbooks to streamline installation, configuration, and management processes.
• Designing and implementing automation for enterprise-scale virtualisation environments.
• Building and integrating APIs to enable on-demand infrastructure services.
• Testing, validating, and certifying new hardware and software components.
• Working with stakeholders to define requirements and design robust technical solutions.
• Delivering projects to deadlines while maintaining a strong focus on quality and security.

I am therefore keen to speak with candidates who have

• Significant experience using Python to automate infrastructure processes.
• Hands-on knowledge of Ansible and Infrastructure as Code practices.
• Understanding of VMware technologies, ideally VCF and/or vSphere would be beneficial.
• Grounding in networking and operating systems (Linux, TCP/IP, DNS).
• Experience with API integration and hybrid infrastructure environments.
• Familiarity with modern development practices including version control and CI/CD.

Desirable extras:

• VMware suite expertise (VCF, vSphere, vSAN) in greenfield and brownfield settings.
• Knowledge of infrastructure testing approaches.
• Experience with other scripting or programming languages (e.g. Go, PowerShell, Bash).
