The Role
Operate and improve production infrastructure that supports engineering and business teams. Apply established systems, network, or cloud patterns, automate recurring work, and keep services dependable. Handle routine changes independently within agreed limits, seeking review for unfamiliar designs or higher-impact work.
Key Responsibilities
- Operate assigned infrastructure services, maintaining configurations, dependencies, inventory, and approved access controls while coordinating service needs with engineering and business partners.
- Provision resources using established infrastructure-as-code patterns and automate recurring tasks with maintainable, reviewable scripts; request review for unfamiliar designs.
- Monitor health, capacity, configuration drift, and resource use; investigate incidents and escalate unfamiliar failures or broader risks with diagnostic evidence.
- Deliver scoped patches, upgrades, and configuration changes with impact checks, peer review, validation, rollback guidance, and documented recovery exercises.
- Maintain runbooks, backup and configuration-recovery workflows, and incident records; share service knowledge and turn recurring operational problems into reusable improvements.
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of infrastructure, systems, or cloud engineering experience, including hands-on administration and troubleshooting of production services within an assigned domain.
- Practical knowledge of operating systems, networking, or cloud services, including related dependencies and recognizing when specialist support is needed.
- Ability to use version control, infrastructure definitions, and scripting to deliver repeatable changes with understandable error handling and reviewable implementation.
- Experience using monitoring and diagnostic evidence to investigate incidents, assess capacity or resource use, and communicate findings to service partners.
- Ability to carry out controlled changes and restore or configuration-recovery procedures, including validation, rollback planning, and applying approved access controls.
- Clear documentation and collaboration skills, with sound judgment about assigned service responsibilities, timely escalation, and follow-through on operational improvements.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience supporting connected infrastructure across on-premises and cloud environments, including understanding their operational dependencies and constraints.
- Experience improving shared infrastructure-as-code modules or reusable operational workflows through peer-reviewed contributions and clear documentation.
- Experience using incident and maintenance findings to reduce repeated manual work and improve operational runbooks.
Additional Requirements
- Available to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
