OverviewAs a Senior Infrastructure Engineer - Hosting you will be responsible for the design, implementation, and management of hosting environments, DevOps pipelines, and data center infrastructure. Yes, a lot of your work is behind the scenes...but everything you do should have the customer in mind. This role involves maintaining the performance, security, and scalability of both on-premise data centers and cloud-based systems. They will automate system deployments and updates, monitor infrastructure performance, and resolve any issues related to hosting, server management, or network connectivity to ensure that business-critical applications are always available and performant.
A key aspect of this position is working with cross-functional teams to implement DevOps best practices, including Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment pipelines, infrastructure as code, and automated provisioning tools. The engineer will also be tasked with managing cloud resources, optimizing data center operations, and ensuring the security and compliance of both physical and virtual environments. A deep understanding of traditional data center operations, IT, and infrastructure is essential to support our customers.
