Role Summary
We are seeking an Infrastructure Lead who will design, build, and operate a new Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 environment from the ground up.

You will drive hands-on engineering work while providing leadership, structure, and direction in a rapidly evolving IT landscape.
The Infrastructure Lead will architect core infrastructure services, implement governance and security standards, and guide the transition of future acquisitions into the new environment. This is a highly technical, sleeves-rolled-up position where you will directly build landing zones, networking, identity, monitoring, and operational processes.

• Perform hands-on audits, troubleshooting, and incident management across cloud, network, server, and endpoint systems
• Define infrastructure standards, architecture patterns, and operational frameworks to support reliability, security, and scalability
• Lead infrastructure components of strategic projects such as migrations, site deployments, and security initiatives
• Collaborate with cross functional teams to ensure infrastructure supports application, data, and service delivery needs
• Identify and implement automation opportunities using PowerShell and infrastructure-as-code practices
Key Requirements
• 7 plus years of hands-on infrastructure engineering or administration experience with increasing responsibility
• Deep, practical experience with Azure infrastructure including landing zones, VNets, firewalls, subscriptions, governance, and hybrid identity
• Strong technical background in Microsoft 365 including Entra ID, Intune, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and endpoint security
• Strong understanding of networking concepts including routing, switching, VPNs, firewalls, and advanced troubleshooting
• Experience operating or building hybrid AD environments, DNS, DHCP, certificates, backup, and DR solutions
• Proven ability to lead complex incident response efforts with clear communication and structured root cause analysis
• Experience with Jira and familiarity with AI driven solutions to enhance automation and streamline user support
• Excellent communication, analytical thinking, ownership mindset, and ability to work autonomously in a greenfield environment
