Role Summary
We're seeking a Senior Network / Infrastructure Engineer with strong experience designing,
deploying, and supporting enterprise networks and modern infrastructure platforms. This hands-on
role focuses on secure data transfer, infrastructure optimization, and day-to-day management of
networking hardware, virtualization, and cloud workloads, with a strong bias toward automation
and operational rigor.
Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure Management
? Own day-to-day operations of the VMware environment (vSphere/ESX/ESXi): lifecycle
management, capacity, performance tuning, patching, upgrades, backup/DR coordination,
and incident response.
? Partner on the virtualization roadmap, including planning and execution for migration from
VMware to Nutanix (or Nutanix-based platforms), minimizing downtime and risk.
? Operate and optimize storage and compute platforms (e.g., Cisco UCS, SAN/NAS such as
NetApp FAS/AFF, FlexPod), including performance troubleshooting and resilience planning.
Cloud & Platform Operations
? Manage and optimize Microsoft Azure workloads: networking, compute, storage, security
controls, cost optimization, and operational monitoring.
? Operate Kubernetes environments (cluster upgrades, reliability, networking, ingress,
policy, and workload troubleshooting).
? Build, deploy, and support Docker containerized applications and supporting infrastructure
(registries, image hygiene, runtime security, scaling).
? Implement and maintain load balancing solutions (L4/L7), including TLS configuration and
operational monitoring.
Network Engineering & Communications
? Design, implement, and support enterprise data/voice/video networks across
LAN/WAN/Wi-Fi.
? Configure and support routing/switching and core network services (TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF,
VLANs, QoS, DHCP/DNS).
? Administer and harden firewalls/VPNs (SonicWall, Cisco ASA, Palo Alto) and support
secure remote access patterns.
Security, Secure Transfers, and Compliance Support
? Maintain secure internal and external data transfer mechanisms (e.g., SFTP/managed file
transfer), including certificate/keys, access controls, and auditing.
? Support vulnerability remediation, security hardening, and practical control
implementation aligned to customer/security expectations (e.g., PCI/SOC-related controls
where applicable).
? Own SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle management across infrastructure components.
Operational Excellence & Automation
? Build repeatable, automated operations (Infrastructure-as-Code and configuration
management preferred), reducing manual work and increasing reliability.
? Improve observability and troubleshooting practices (monitoring, alerting, packet capture,
traffic analysis) and drive root-cause prevention.
? Participate in on-call/after-hours support rotations as needed for high-priority incidents
and maintenance windows.
Collaboration
? Collaborate across internal teams and external vendors/clients to plan changes, execute
upgrades, resolve incidents, and document outcomes.
? Create and maintain clear technical documentation (runbooks, diagrams, standards) to
improve operational consistency and knowledge sharing.
Required Qualifications
? 5+ years in a senior network/infrastructure engineering role supporting enterprise
environments (hybrid datacenter + cloud).
? Strong, hands-on experience with Kubernetes, VMware (vSphere/ESX/ESXi), and Microsoft
Azure (these are must-haves).
? Proven experience designing/supporting enterprise networks: LAN/WAN/Wi-Fi,
routing/switching, VPNs, QoS, and troubleshooting (packet capture/traffic analysis).
? Firewall administration experience with one or more of SonicWall, Cisco ASA, and Palo Alto
(policy, VPN, logging/triage).
? Experience with virtualization operations and performance tuning (compute, storage,
networking).
? Windows Server administration experience (including legacy environments as needed),
Active Directory, Group Policy, and Exchange in enterprise contexts.
? Working knowledge supporting SQL Server environments (AlwaysOn preferred).
? Strong operational habits: change management discipline, incident response,
documentation, and clear communication.
Preferred Qualifications
? Bachelor's degree in a related field and significant datacenter operations experience.
? Certifications such as CCNA/CCNP, VCP, Nutanix (NCP), Azure (AZ-104/AZ-305), Security+,
or equivalent experience.
? Experience with Cisco UCS, NetApp FAS/AFF, and FlexPod architectures in production
environments.
? Familiarity with IIS/Tomcat administration and email security tooling (e.g., SpamTitan).
? Experience with tools such as Jira, Kace, SolarWinds, PRTG, Cerberus SFTP, Zerto, Trend
Micro, WSUS, and related monitoring/endpoint/security platforms.
Compensation & Benefits
? Competitive salary commensurate with experience and qualifications.
? Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
? Paid time off and holidays.
? Retirement savings plan options.
? Opportunities for career advancement and professional growth
