We are seeking a highly motivated and technically deep Senior Infrastructure & Automation Engineer to focus on automating, scaling, and securing our core hybrid cloud, on-premise, and endpoint infrastructure. This role is crucial for developing and maintaining our Infrastructure as Code (IaC) pipelines, evolving our private cloud, and ensuring the stability and performance of our foundational systems.

The ideal candidate has a strong engineering mindset and a proven track record of using scripting and automation tools to eliminate manual toil and drive infrastructure modernization.

Key Responsibilities

Hybrid Cloud & Infrastructure:

• Lead the management and evolution of our Private or Hybrid Cloud infrastructure (e.g., VMware, Nutanix), focusing on stability, performance, and automation.
• Provide expertise in one or more major public cloud platforms: Azure, AWS, or GCP.
• Manage and optimize DNS for both internal and external resources, utilizing platforms such as Windows DNS and Route 53.
• Experience securing and maintaining our file share infrastructure (Nutanix) and cloud file share services (Gdrive, Onedrive, etc.)

Automation, IaC, & Endpoints:

• Design, implement, and maintain automation solutions across the entire infrastructure lifecycle, including Windows 11-based medical desktop devices.
• Develop and manage IaC using tools like Ansible, Terraform, or Pulumi.
• Write and maintain complex scripts using PowerShell, Bash, and Python to automate provisioning, configuration management, and patching.
• Experience utilizing modern configuration/automation and deployment tools such as Intune, Automox, SCCM, PDQ Deploy & Inventory, or similar platforms.

Security & Compliance:

• Implement and enforce security hardening standards across the environment (e.g., CIS Benchmarks), including robust patch automation.
• Operate within a regulated environment, strictly adhering to change management processes and documentation standards.
• Familiarity with building and managing Linux systems (CentOS, RHEL, Rocky).

Foundational Knowledge:

• Provide foundational Network knowledge (DHCP, Radius, vLANs, whitelisting, vNets, ACLs, etc.) to inform infrastructure and security decisions (a strong plus).
• Knowledge of disaster recovery solutions (e.g., Rubrik, Barracuda, or Code42) is a plus.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive, hands-on experience in IT Infrastructure, Automation, and DevOps-like roles.
• Expert proficiency in using PowerShell, Python, and/or Bash to automate complex tasks.
• Proven hands-on experience developing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with tools like Terraform or Ansible.
• Deep expertise in managing Hybrid Cloud infrastructure (e.g., VMware, Nutanix).
• Demonstrable understanding of how automation and core infrastructure directly supports large, integrated SaaS application portfolios and federated identity platforms (e.g., Okta/Azure AD).
• Exceptional clear communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks/projects concurrently and work well in a team environment.
• Willingness to work on an array of projects that require planning, research, and testing.

Desired Skills (Bonus)

• Experience administering or automating in federated identity platforms like Okta.
• Familiarity with administration and automation within major SaaS platforms like Google Workspace (GWS) or Microsoft 365 (O365).
• Experience managing or automating Windows 11 endpoint devices using tools like Intune, Automox, SCCM, or PDQ Deploy & Inventory.
