About this role
Employer-provided description, formatted for easier reading.
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
