## Description

Position Description Summary The Senior Infrastructure Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and operating secure, scalable, and highly available infrastructure platforms with a strong emphasis on Microsoft Azure cloud services and enterprise Linux environments. This role supports cloud migration initiatives, infrastructure automation, and platform modernization across hybrid environments, while maintaining operational stability for critical business systems. Primary Job Responsibilities % Time Design, engineer, test, and implement infrastructure solutions across Azure IaaS/PaaS, Enterprise Linux, Microsoft 365, and other on premise platforms to meet availability, security, and performance requirements. 35% Collaborate with IT management and IT security to Develop and maintain architecture standards, technical documentation and operational runbooks, and strategic plans for Azure, M365, and Linux platforms. 30% Provide Level 2/3 operational support for infrastructure, We are seeking a senior-level, hands-on engineer. It's a generalist but the big ticket item is enterprise Linux experience. Someone who builds things, not just maintains them. The Must-Haves Real Enterprise Linux Experience: Someone who has actually designed and supported Linux in a corporate setting. Candidates have to know how to make Linux sync with Active Directory. Azure Skills: The team has a gap here. They need someone who can build out their Azure environment from the ground up - IaaS and PaaS, networking. Bonus if someone has experience with Azure VDI since they want to ditch their on-prem Citrix. Automation: The team is lean, so they automate everything they can. They're rolling out Ansible right now, so experience there is a big plus. The Fun Stuff (The Projects) This is not a boring job. The new person will get to: Finish the Ansible Rollout: Get Ansible Tower fully stood up and start creating playbooks for everything. Build the Azure Environment: This is a 2025 project
to create their Azure presence from scratch. Move a Data Center: Get involved in planning and executing a data center move next year. Figure out the VMware Situation: Help research and choose a new hypervisor now that Broadcom is changing things up. Logistics: In the Office: 3 days a week. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are fixed, the third day is flexible.
