About The Role

We are looking for an experienced and versatile Infrastructure Engineer to join our team. This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who is comfortable operating across the modern infrastructure stack — spanning cloud platforms, virtualization, systems administration, automation, and network engineering.

This role replaces a traditional network-only function and reflects how we think about infrastructure today: as an interconnected discipline where networking, computing, security, and automation are inseparable. You will be a key contributor to the reliability, scalability, and security of our platforms, and a go-to escalation point for complex infrastructure challenges.

What You'll Do

Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure

• Support the maintenance of both on prem and cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, or GCP including compute, storage, networking, and identity services
• Manage and optimize hybrid connectivity between on-premises environments and cloud platforms (VPN, ExpressRoute/Direct Connect, Transit Gateway)
• Govern infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform or Pulumi, ensuring environments are reproducible and version-controlled

Networking

• Participate in ongoing management of network infrastructure including routers, switches, firewalls, and load balancers
• Manage and troubleshoot LAN/WAN, SD-WAN, VPN, BGP/OSPF, and VLAN environments
• Administer DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (IPAM) across hybrid environments
• Review and enforce network security policies, firewall rules, and segmentation strategies in collaboration with the security team

Systems & Virtualization

• Administer virtualized environments (VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, or equivalent) and container platforms (Kubernetes, Docker)
• Manage server operating systems at scale across Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu) and Windows Server

Monitoring, Reliability & Security

• Maintain observability tooling including infrastructure monitoring, alerting, and log aggregation (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, Splunk, or similar)
• Participate in an on-call rotation for infrastructure-level incidents, driving timely resolution and thorough post-incident reviews
• Contribute to backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning and testing
• Partner with the security team on vulnerability management, patching cadences, and hardening standards

Automation & Continuous Improvement

• Identify and drive automation opportunities to reduce toil and improve consistency across the infrastructure estate
• Contribute to capacity planning and infrastructure roadmap discussions
• Mentor P1/P2 engineers and share knowledge through internal documentation and team sessions

What You'll Bring

Experience & Skills

• 4–7 years of experience in infrastructure, network engineering, or a related discipline
• Strong networking fundamentals and hands-on experience with enterprise network platforms (Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, Fortinet, or similar)
• Proven experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) — ideally with a cloud associate-level certification or equivalent practical experience
• Experience managing Linux and Windows Server environments in production
• Familiarity with containerization concepts and platforms (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience with monitoring and observability tooling in a production environment
• Strong troubleshooting skills across network, compute, and storage layers
• Comfortable working in an on-call capacity for infrastructure incidents

Nice to Have

• Working knowledge of infrastructure as code and configuration management tools (Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
• Experience with SD-WAN platforms (e.g. Meraki, Viptela/Cisco SDWAN, VMware VeloCloud)
• Scripting proficiency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation
• Exposure to DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines
• Experience in a zero-trust network architecture project
• Relevant certifications: CCNA/CCNP, AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator (AZ-104), CKA, or equivalent

Compensation And Benefits

The salary range for this position is $115,000 – $173,000 per year, which represents the base pay the company reasonably and in good faith expects to pay for this role. Actual pay within this range will be determined based on factors such as relevant experience, skills, and qualifications.
