VMware after Broadcom: the skills Australian employers are hiring for
Licensing changes have pushed many organisations to rethink their virtualisation estate. Here's what that means for VMware hiring.
The hiring landscape
What makes telecommunications hiring different
Networks are becoming software
5G core, network automation and virtualised network functions need engineers who are as comfortable with Kubernetes and Python as with routing and transport.
Critical infrastructure obligations
Telecommunications is covered by the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act and sector security rules, raising the bar for security and risk roles.
Large, time-boxed rollouts
Network builds and platform migrations often need teams to scale up fast and roll off cleanly — a fit for contract, SOW and volume hiring.
