Job Description

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
