  • Serve as the senior Tier III escalation point for complex incidents affecting infrastructure services; lead incident response, root-cause analysis, and long-term remediation planning.
  • Engineer and govern core identity and access management services, including directory services, hybrid identity, single sign-on, conditional access, and privileged access controls.
  • Lead major infrastructure initiatives such as cloud migrations, datacenter consolidations, directory redesigns, platform modernizations, and enterprise automation efforts.
  • Define, document, and enforce standards and reference architectures for system security, hardening, patch and configuration management, performance, and observability.
  • Design and validate backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity architectures, including runbooks, testing procedures, and recovery objectives.
  • Develop and maintain advanced automation, orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code solutions to improve consistency, scalability, and operational efficiency.
  • Partner with security teams on vulnerability management, tooling integration, compliance controls, and remediation of infrastructure-related findings.
  • Collaborate with network and application teams to ensure solutions are properly integrated, performant, and aligned with enterprise architecture and business objectives.
  • Provide senior-level technical leadership and mentorship to systems administrators and engineers, guiding design decisions, technical standards, and knowledge transfer.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies, perform proofs of concept, and contribute to infrastructure standards and multi-year technology roadmaps.

Required Qualifications

  • Eight or more years of progressively responsible experience in systems engineering or systems administration, including ownership of complex enterprise infrastructure.
  • Deep expertise in Windows Server, enterprise identity platforms, and Microsoft 365 or comparable enterprise collaboration environments.
  • Strong experience engineering infrastructure in Azure or an equivalent cloud platform, including compute, storage, networking, identity, monitoring, and security services.
  • Proven experience designing and implementing highly available and resilient architectures, including clustering, load balancing, redundancy, and recovery strategies.
  • Advanced automation and scripting skills using PowerShell and other relevant tools to build robust administrative and deployment workflows.
  • Solid understanding of enterprise networking and security concepts, including DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP, firewalls, TLS certificates, VPNs, and secure application publishing.
  • Demonstrated success leading major infrastructure projects from design through implementation and operational handoff.
  • Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills, with the ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions and design standards.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Advanced infrastructure, cloud, virtualization, or identity certifications from major vendors.
  • Experience supporting environments with formal regulatory, audit, or compliance requirements.
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management frameworks.
  • Experience contributing to enterprise architecture standards, platform strategy, and long-range infrastructure planning.
