  • Troubleshoot platform issues and lead root cause analysis with an emphasis on reliability, observability, and continuous improvement
  • Plan and support upgrades, patching, and lifecycle activities across hybrid environments in collaboration with operations, security, and application teams
  • Standardize platform patterns and reduce manual effort through automation, orchestration, and repeatable engineering practices
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, recovery procedures, and implementation standards for cloud and hybrid platforms
  • Partner with security teams to identify and mitigate risk across cloud and on-prem services
  • Support disaster recovery planning, testing, and response for business-critical infrastructure services

What You Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, MIS, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 3+ years supporting enterprise infrastructure, cloud platforms, or hybrid environments
  • Experience with Azure cloud services and core platform capabilities across IaaS, PaaS, and identity services
  • Experience with automation and scripting such as PowerShell, Python, Ansible, Terraform, or similar tools
  • Experience with infrastructure as code, configuration management, and repeatable deployment practices
  • Experience with Kubernetes, containers, or modern application platform technologies
  • Familiarity with virtualization technologies such as VMware or Nutanix and their role in hybrid platform design
  • Knowledge of Windows Server and/or Red Hat Enterprise Linux administration
  • Experience with identity platforms such as Active Directory, LDAP, or Entra ID
  • Understanding of networking fundamentals including DNS, DHCP, routing, switching, and connectivity across hybrid environments
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with infrastructure automation, DevOps pipelines, monitoring, or cloud operations tooling
  • Familiarity with VDI, load balancing, identity platforms, or other technologies that support hybrid end-user and infrastructure services
  • Experience in regulated, compliance-driven, or mission-critical environments
  • Relevant certifications such as Azure, RHCE, Kubernetes, Terraform, or virtualization credentials
