About

About the Role We’re looking for a Lead IT Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of our core technology environment and ensure that our systems are robust, secure, and scalable. You’ll lead infrastructure strategy, oversee daily operations, and guide a small team of engineers to deliver reliable, high-performing IT services that power our business. This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who thrives on designing, improving, and maintaining complex infrastructure environments — and who enjoys mentoring others while still staying close to the technology. Key Responsibilities * Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of on-premise and cloud infrastructure (e.g. Azure, AWS, VMware, Hyper-V). * Ensure high availability, performance, and security across all IT systems and networks. * Manage and develop the IT infrastructure team, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement. * Oversee backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies. * Drive automation and infrastructure-as-code initiatives (e.g. Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell). * Monitor system performance, identify areas for optimization, and deliver proactive improvements. * Collaborate with Cybersecurity, DevOps, and Application teams to align infrastructure with business needs. * Manage vendor relationships and budget planning for hardware, software, and cloud services. About You * Proven experience in a senior or lead infrastructure engineering role. * Deep technical expertise in networking, virtualization, storage, and cloud technologies. * Strong background in Windows and/or Linux server environments. * Demonstrated experience with infrastructure automation and CI/CD integration. * Familiarity with ITIL principles and enterprise monitoring tools. * Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills. * Certifications such as Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect, AWS Certified SysOps Administrator, or VMware VCP are desirable
