You will design and manage a hybrid environment using Entra ID-joined systems managed through an Azure control plane. Key responsibilities include leveraging Azure Arc, Azure Files, and AWS S3 for storage, while championing Infrastructure-as-Code via Terraform and Ansible. You will optimize high-performance storage from Pure Storage, NetApp, and VAST Data while troubleshooting complex outages. The role requires expertise in VMware vSphere, PowerShell, Python, and Bash to maintain reliable manufacturing infrastructure and support application deployment across complex, high-stakes environments.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain the full stack of on-premises infrastructure supporting factory operations.
  • Install hypervisors, configure storage pools, and manage patch cycles for physical servers.
  • Design and manage a hybrid environment using Entra ID and an Azure control plane.
  • Provision and manage on-premises assets using Azure Arc, Azure Files, and AWS S3.
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Terraform and Ansible.
  • Monitor and optimize high-performance storage systems and virtual environments.
  • Act as the primary escalation point to troubleshoot and resolve complex infrastructure outages.
  • Maintain clear documentation of infrastructure designs and procedures for development and security teams.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in IT infrastructure engineering with a focus on on-premises systems.
  • Expert-level knowledge of the VMware vSphere suite of products.
  • Hands-on experience architecting or managing Entra ID-only join environments and migrating from Active Directory.
  • Proficiency using Azure as a management plane for on-prem resources including Azure Arc, Policy, Monitor, and Files.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS services such as EC2, IAM, VPC, and S3.
  • Hands-on experience administering Pure Storage and NetApp (ONTAP) SAN/NAS solutions.
  • Experience with automation and scripting in PowerShell, Python, or Bash.
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform or Ansible.
