Company Overview:
Strive Pharmacy is a personalized compounding pharmacy built on a simple conviction: medicine should fit the patient, not the other way around. We started Strive because we believed the pharmaceutical industry was overdue for a more human approach-one that prioritizes individualized care, clinical nuance, and genuine partnership with patients and providers.
Compounding gives us the tools to do that. Every formulation we prepare is built to the specific needs of a specific person, and every interaction we have is guided by that same commitment to personalized care.
We're growing, and we're looking for people who share that conviction. If you're ready to be part of a pharmacy that takes the work seriously and the people even more seriously, we'd like to meet you.
Mission:
Strive exists to disrupt an industry long overdue for a more personal approach to care. We put the human element at the center of everything: every formulation, every patient interaction, every provider partnership. We're not just a compounding pharmacy. We're a team on a mission to change what personalized healthcare looks and feels like.

Position Overview:
The Infrastructure Manager is a senior leadership position responsible for the design, deployment, and management of the core hardware and software infrastructure that supports our compounding pharmacy operations. This is a hands-on management role; the successful candidate must be capable of leading a team of engineers while simultaneously architecting and implementing complex server and network projects. The Infrastructure Manager is the primary driver of our hardware consolidation strategy, moving the organization toward a fully self-hosted environment using Proxmox VE, Arista EOS, and OPNsense to ensure total control over our tooling and data.
Key Responsibilities:
- Team Leadership and Development: Manage, mentor, and train a team of infrastructure professionals. Foster a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
- Hands-on Project Architecture: Lead the design and implementation of new builds and network upgrades. Personally engage in the configuration of Proxmox clusters, Arista network fabrics, and firewall rules.
- Infrastructure Strategy: Develop long-term infrastructure roadmaps focused on performance, redundancy, and data sovereignty. Select hardware and software that avoid vendor lock-in and "paperweight" licensing models.
- Compliance and Best Practices: Ensure all infrastructure follows industry standards and regulatory requirements (FDA, DEA, HIPAA, PCI, cGMP). Implement rigorous security hardening and audit logging.
- Automation and Tooling: Drive the development of infrastructure automation scripts using Python, Go, and Bash. Oversee the implementation of monitoring and alerting systems.
- Documentation Mastery: Maintain meticulous documentation of all system architectures, network diagrams, and SOPs.
Required Qualifications:
- 10+ years of experience in IT infrastructure and network engineering.
- Mastery of Proxmox VE, including ZFS storage layouts, HA clustering, and ceph integration.
- Deep expertise in routing and switching and network automation.
- Advanced knowledge of OPNsense firewalls, HAProxy, VPNs (WireGuard and overlay), and Suricata.
- Strong proficiency in Linux (Debian/AlmaLinux) and FreeBSD administration.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience writing scripts in Python, Bash, and Go; familiarity with Elixir or Clojure is highly desirable.
Work Environment: This position is primarily based in a hybrid work environment. The role requires regular periods of sitting, standing, and computer use, with occasional lifting as needed. Reasonable accommodations may be made for individuals with disabilities.
