Role Overview
The Infrastructure Engineering team is looking for a well-rounded Infrastructure Engineer who can work across a broad, integrated technology stack spanning virtualization, storage, operating systems, collaboration platforms, and emerging AI-enabled tooling. This role is not focused on a single specialty; you will balance operational support, project delivery, and continuous improvement in a fast-paced, multi-priority environment.

  • Support Microsoft Teams Rooms / AV environments, including Crestron-based hardware, room systems, monitoring, and modernization initiatives.
  • Provide operational support for telephony platforms (Cisco and Avaya), including VoIP and analog systems.
  • Coordinate cross-team activities and manage timelines, risks, and dependencies for infrastructure changes and projects.
  • Balance incidents, problems, and project work through strong time management and prioritization, ensuring stable operations and reliable service delivery.
  • Contribute to backup and recovery processes (e.g., Cohesity) for key platforms such as SAP, Oracle, and PostgreSQL where applicable.
  • Participate in the administration of Nutanix Prism Central and Nutanix-based infrastructure where required.
  • Collaborate on Linux (Red Hat) and Kubernetes (Nutanix Kubernetes Platform or equivalent) initiatives as part of a cross-functional team.
  • Use automation and scripting (PowerShell, Ansible) to streamline repetitive tasks, standardize configurations, and improve operational efficiency.
  • Leverage AI tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) to assist with scripting, troubleshooting, documentation, and optimization of day-to-day operations.
  • Maintain and enhance file shares and storage platforms (e.g., CIFS/SMB, NetApp) and Microsoft 365 services (Exchange Online, licensing, identity tools) as needed.
  • Contribute to documentation, runbooks, and knowledge articles to support operational excellence and cross-team learning.
