We seek a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to oversee and enhance our cloud IT infrastructure, including networks, identity, storage, cloud services, and enterprise applications. This is a senior individual contributor role—no direct people management, but you will provide technical guidance, mentorship, and drive infrastructure strategy across the organization.
Key responsibilities include:
**Technical Strategy & Collaboration:** Develop infrastructure best practices, standards, and policies for security, performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. Collaborate with IT teams and stakeholders to define and execute the infrastructure roadmap aligned with business goals. Research and recommend new tools and automation to improve IT operations. Participate in incident response and post-incident reviews for complex infrastructure issues.
**Infrastructure Management & Operations:** Design, deploy, and maintain networking, identity management, storage systems, and cloud-based services. Ensure high availability, security, and performance of applications and data, including backup and disaster recovery planning. Manage user identity and access controls enforcing security best practices. Deploy infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD practices. Optimize and maintain enterprise applications (SaaS and internal). Work with security teams to monitor, assess, and remediate infrastructure vulnerabilities.
**Support & Troubleshooting:** Act as escalation point for critical infrastructure issues. Provide hands-on support for network, cloud, identity, and end-user device issues. Collaborate with internal IT staff and external vendors to resolve technical challenges efficiently.
Required qualifications: 6+ years IT infrastructure engineering experience. Deep expertise in Zscaler/DNS/AWS VPCs, MS Entra ID or Okta/SSO/AWS IAM, Terraform or equivalent IaC, Kubernetes or equivalent, AWS, and Datadog or equivalent monitoring. Strong scripting/automation in Python, Bash, or PowerShell. Solid experience with CI/CD tooling, backup/disaster recovery planning, storage systems, secrets management, and enterprise application administration. Familiarity with security best practices and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001). Strong troubleshooting, communication, and project leadership skills. Relevant certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, CKA, Security+) are a plus.
