IT Infrastructure Manager

IT Infrastructure Manager (Hybrid, Linux, Google Cloud, Networking)
Los Angeles, CA| On-site

Position Summary

The IT Infrastructure Manager leads a team of ~12 and owns the design, security, and day-to-day operations of a hybrid infrastructure environment spanning on-prem systems and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This role is hands-on and operationally focused, with strong expectations in Linux administration, networking, and automation/scripting to improve reliability, reduce manual effort, and strengthen security and compliance.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership & Operations (Team of ~10)

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of infrastructure engineers/administrators; set priorities, manage workload, and build a strong on-call/incident response culture.
• Establish operational standards (runbooks, escalation paths, change management, problem management, capacity planning).
• Drive cross-functional coordination with Security, Engineering, Helpdesk, and business stakeholders.

Hybrid Infrastructure & Cloud (GCP)

• Own architecture and operations across hybrid environments (data center/on-prem + GCP), including connectivity, identity, and shared services.
• Manage GCP foundations: org/projects, IAM, VPCs, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud Logging/Monitoring, and cost controls.
• Plan and execute cloud migrations and modernization initiatives while maintaining stability and minimizing downtime.

Linux & Platform Reliability

• Oversee Linux fleet administration and hardening (patching, vulnerability remediation, performance tuning, configuration standards).
• Implement observability: monitoring, alerting, dashboards, SLIs/SLOs; ensure proactive detection and fast recovery.

Networking & Connectivity

• Own core networking strategy and operations: LAN/WAN, routing/switching, DNS/DHCP, VPNs, firewalls, load balancing, and segmentation.
• Ensure secure and resilient on-prem cloud connectivity (e.g., site-to-site VPNs, interconnect patterns as applicable).
• Partner with vendors/ISPs to manage circuits, performance, and escalations.

Automation & Engineering Discipline

• Drive automation through scripting/coding (e.g., Bash/Python) to standardize builds, reduce repetitive work, and improve reliability.
• Promote Infrastructure as Code and configuration management practices (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) and version-controlled change workflows.

Security, Compliance, and Continuity

• Enforce least-privilege access, secrets/key management, audit logging, and system hardening across cloud and on-prem.
• Own backup strategy and disaster recovery planning; run periodic recovery tests and document results.
• Lead incident RCA and implement preventative actions to reduce recurrence.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years in infrastructure/IT operations with hybrid environments, including 3+ years managing teams (experience leading ~8–15 person teams preferred).
• Strong hands-on Linux administration experience (Ubuntu/RHEL/CentOS), including troubleshooting and security hardening.
• Strong hands-on networking experience (DNS, DHCP, TLS, VPN, firewalls, routing, switching, segmentation, load balancing).
• Working experience in Google Cloud Platform (IAM, VPC, Compute, Storage, logging/monitoring).
• Scripting/coding experience (Bash and/or Python) used for automation and operational tooling.
• Demonstrated incident management experience (on-call, escalation, RCA, measurable reliability improvements).
• Strong documentation and stakeholder communication skills.

• The total compensation for this role is  $160,000 to $185,000.

• The exact starting compensation to be offered will be determined at the time of selecting an applicant for hire and will be dependent on a wide range of factors, including but not limited to geographic location, skill set, experience, education, credentials, and licensure when applicable.
