We are seeking a Systems Engineer 3 to be a part of our Information Technology team at SOM. Reporting to the Associate Director of Infrastructure Services, this engineer will be responsible for designing, managing, and optimizing enterprise IT infrastructure across cloud and virtualized environments. Key functions include maintaining storage and virtualization platforms, ensuring system availability and disaster recovery readiness, and managing infrastructure through Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and Packer.
The position also focuses on automation, security, and operational support. Responsibilities include automating deployments and configuration with Ansible, managing secrets and access controls, administering Windows and Linux systems, maintaining monitoring and logging systems, supporting infrastructure incidents, documenting processes and system architecture, and may lead and direct the work of others.

 * Infrastructure as Code & Secure Lifecycle Management - Owns full infrastructure lifecycle management using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles. Leverages Terraform and Packer for automated provisioning and standardized builds, utilizing GitHub (or similar repositories) for version control, peer review, and CI/CD-driven deployments. Embeds security controls directly into infrastructure pipelines to ensure consistent, auditable, and compliant system builds.
 * Automation, Configuration & Secrets Management - Develops and maintains automation frameworks using Ansible Automation Platform to orchestrate deployments, configuration management, patching, and compliance enforcement.

 * Cross-Platform Systems Administration & Compliance - Provides administration and support across Windows and Linux environments with a strong emphasis on security hardening and standardized configuration baselines. Partners with security teams to remediate vulnerabilities, enforce CIS-aligned controls, maintain patch compliance targets, and eliminate legacy or insecure protocols.
 * Monitoring, Logging, Operational Support & Documentation Excellence - Oversees infrastructure monitoring, centralized logging, and audit trail integrity to ensure traceability of system and configuration changes. Conducts regular backup validation and recovery testing across hypervisor and storage platforms. Participates in a rotating infrastructure support model to resolve escalated service desk tickets, non-automated permissions issues, and infrastructure projects.
