This role will support broad Systems Infrastructure needs across virtualization, storage, backup and data protection, Active Directory, Windows and Linux administration, automation, monitoring, and Infrastructure as Code.

- Build pipeline-based deployment patterns for repeatable image delivery across Nutanix, VMware, and Azure environments.
- Advance Infrastructure as Code and DevOps practices using Ansible, Red Hat Satellite, Terraform, Bash, PowerShell, and source control.
- Partner with Architecture, Networking, Security, and infrastructure teams on complex implementations, upgrades, migrations, and platform refreshes.
- Perform advanced Level 3 troubleshooting across virtualization, storage, backup, operating systems, identity, network-adjacent, and automation domains.
- Support performance tuning, capacity management, platform consistency, and standards adoption across the technology estate.
- Participate in architecture and design reviews, aligning on-premises infrastructure with networking, cloud, and security operating models.

Qualifications:

- 3-5 years of experience engineering infrastructure in a large, complex, hybrid, or multi-site enterprise environment.
- Strong hands-on experience with Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux administration, standards, hardening, patching, and lifecycle management.
- Experience defining or improving operating system build standards, golden images, hardened baselines, or automated provisioning patterns.
- Strong automation and Infrastructure as Code experience using Ansible, Red Hat Satellite, Terraform, Bash, PowerShell, and source control practices.
- Broad infrastructure experience across VMware vSphere, Nutanix AHV, enterprise storage, SAN/NAS/HCI, backup, recovery, disaster recovery, Active Directory, Entra ID, and monitoring.
- Working knowledge of compliance-driven infrastructure standards, including PCI DSS, NIST guidance, and CIS Benchmark hardening, including Level 2.
- Understanding of hybrid enterprise network design, IPv4, segmentation, identity security, access management, and PKI concepts.
- Experience working collaboratively with Infrastructure Architecture, Networking, Security, and other technical teams in a complex enterprise environment.
