End User Computing Engineer Jobs in Georgia (NOW HIRING)

Job Description

Reporting to the SVP, Enterprise Architect - Infrastructure & User Enablement, the VP, Lead Engineer - Infrastructure Operations is a senior technical leadership role responsible for the design, operation, and continuous improvement of Antares' enterprise infrastructure services - including cloud-hosted server environments, endpoint management, identity services, and network operations. This position carries full accountability for end-to-end infrastructure operations, combining deep technical expertise with people leadership and operational ownership.

Antares' infrastructure leverages cloud-hosted environments to support enterprise application services. The Lead Infrastructure Operations Engineer is responsible for managing server and endpoint environments at the operating system level - including patch management, software installation and configuration, permissions management, troubleshooting services, and connectivity - while partnering with cloud engineering teams responsible for resource provisioning and connectivity. This clear separation of duties ensures operational focus and accountability between teams.

This role oversees onshore and offshore engineering resources supporting day-to-day infrastructure operations. For network operations, this role serves as the primary internal technical counterpart to managed services partners, coordinating operational support, incident response, and network monitoring. The Lead Infrastructure Operations Engineer is expected to be the highest-level technical escalation point within Infrastructure Operations - navigating complex incidents, coordinating vendor response, and driving accountability for service delivery across systems, cloud, and networking domains.

This role operates under a segregation-of-duty model from application teams, providing direct infrastructure support while ensuring proper cross-functional coordination.

Responsibilities

Infrastructure Operations

• Lead the day-to-day operation, support, and continuous improvement of enterprise infrastructure services - spanning cloud-hosted server environments, endpoint management, identity services, and enterprise application infrastructure.
• Manage and maintain cloud-hosted servers running enterprise directory services, database platforms, and business applications - owning the operating system layer while cloud engineering owns resource deployment and connectivity.
• Lead patch management, software installation, configuration management, permissions management, and services troubleshooting across all server and endpoint environments.
• Ensure reliable operation and patch compliance of server operating systems through enterprise patch management tooling and oversee endpoint management platforms to maintain a consistent and secure end-user computing environment.
• Lead vulnerability management prioritization and standard remediation workflows for infrastructure assets, operating under segregation of duty from application teams while ensuring proper cross-functional coordination and system availability.
• Oversee identity and directory services operations including service account management, group lifecycle, certificate-based authentication, and related operational processes in partnership with Cybersecurity.
• Monitor infrastructure health, capacity, and performance across all environments - proactively identifying risks, capacity constraints, and improvement opportunities before they become incidents.
• Coordinate with cloud engineering to ensure resource deployments, connectivity configurations, and infrastructure changes are aligned to operational requirements and do not disrupt production services.

Network Operations

• Own routing and network-level operations across enterprise firewall, remote access, SD-WAN, switching, wireless, and network access control platforms - coordinating with managed services partners for operational support and incident response. Partner with Cybersecurity, for access control policies, firewall rule management, policy changes, and platform upgrades - providing technical expertise and operational insights to support seamless cross-team execution.
• Serve as the primary internal technical counterpart to managed services partners for network operations - driving monitoring, escalation management, and continuous service improvement.

Leadership, Governance & Vendor Management

• Serve as the highest-level technical escalation point for complex infrastructure incidents, outages, and critical changes - coordinating resolution across internal teams, managed services partners, vendors, and offshore resources.
• Establish and enforce domain engineering standards: configuration baselines, change management guardrails, operational documentation, and infrastructure-as-code patterns across systems and network disciplines.
• Coordinate incident response, problem management, and root cause analysis activities - driving recurring issue reduction and operational maturity across the team.
• Lead disaster recovery and business continuity planning for infrastructure services - ensuring DR runbooks are current, tested, and aligned to recovery objectives.
• Partner with enterprise governance bodies and Cybersecurity to ensure infrastructure changes are governance-approved, compliant, and aligned to enterprise architecture.
• Manage service provider and vendor relationships - tracking licensing, support contracts, renewals, and professional services engagements.
• Lead and develop onshore and offshore engineering resources through coaching, mentoring, performance management, and technical guidance - building independence, accountability, and technical maturity across the team.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of progressive experience in enterprise infrastructure engineering spanning systems administration, cloud infrastructure, and network operations.
• 5+ years of experience leading technical teams, projects, or operational functions with direct people management responsibility, including experience managing offshore or distributed resources.
• Strong experience with enterprise server operating system administration, directory services, group policy management, and enterprise patch management platforms.
• Demonstrated experience managing server workloads in cloud-hosted IaaS environments, including OS-level management, patching, software installation, and configuration.
• Experience administering enterprise endpoint management technologies.
• Experience with enterprise identity and directory services, including service account management, group lifecycle, and certificate-based authentication.
• Experience with enterprise monitoring and observability tools for infrastructure health, capacity planning, and performance management.
• Strong hands-on experience with enterprise-grade switching, wireless, firewall, remote access, and SD-WAN platforms.
• Strong knowledge of routing protocols, VLANs, DHCP, DNS, and network access control solutions.
• Experience managing managed services provider relationships for network monitoring, incident escalation, and operational support coordination.
• Experience serving as a senior escalation resource for complex, multi-site infrastructure environments.
• Proven ability to independently research, diagnose, and resolve complex technical issues - including in unfamiliar technologies and without existing documentation.
• Strong knowledge of change management, operational governance, and risk-aware engineering practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Cloud platform certifications (e.g., Azure, AWS, or equivalent).
• Endpoint management certifications.
• Experience with database platform administration in support of enterprise application infrastructure.
• Experience with infrastructure automation, scripting (PowerShell, Python), and Infrastructure-as-Code concepts.
• Experience supporting hybrid identity and directory services across cloud and on-premises environments.
• Experience with enterprise monitoring and observability platforms.
• Experience supporting Linux-based systems including enterprise workloads.
• Experience with disaster recovery planning, testing, and business continuity operations.
• Experience operating within financial services or similarly regulated environments with audit, compliance, and segregation-of-duty requirements.
• Multi-site infrastructure experience includes new office buildouts and telecommunications coordination.
