Experience Requirement:

Description

Infrastructure Engineers (IEs) analyze, construct, refine, document, and maintain internal networks that the team depends on — separate from corporate IT-administered networks. You'll upgrade, maintain, and document critical orchestration systems, and you'll own the documentation and upkeep of the data collection architecture and the in-house network.

This is a hands-on operator/engineer role: you're the person who keeps the wiring, the boxes, and the virtualization stack running well for the rest of the team.

A degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Cyber Operations, Computer Networks, Cybersecurity, Information Security, Information Assurance, or Network Administration is applicable for LCAT level determination.

Responsibilities

• Analyze, construct, refine, document, and maintain internal networks.

• Upgrade, maintain, and document critical orchestration systems.

• Document and maintain the data collection architecture and in-house network.

• Work across operating systems (macOS, Linux — Red Hat and Debian-based, Windows).

• Configure and operate network infrastructure devices (Cisco, Juniper, Huawei).

• Support software-defined networking (Cisco ACI) and integration architecture across the environment.

Skills Requirements

• Working knowledge of macOS, Linux (Red Hat and Debian-based distributions), and Windows.

• Hands-on experience with Cisco, Juniper, and/or Huawei network infrastructure devices.

• Cisco ACI Software-Defined Networking experience.

• VMware cloud virtualization — ESXi, vSphere, and/or Horizon.

• Linux KVM–based cloud virtualization.

• Solid grasp of overall integration architecture across these components.

Nice to Haves

• Automation experience with Ansible, Puppet, or Terraform.

• Familiarity with observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk).

• Scripting fluency (Python, Bash, PowerShell).

• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Prior experience running a mixed-hypervisor environment.

• Comfort building and following runbooks under time pressure.
