The Role

Build the infrastructure that engineering and business teams rely on. Take new systems, network, and cloud capabilities from design to production, using automation and reusable patterns to make each build easier to deliver and support.

Key Responsibilities

Design and deliver new infrastructure for services, environments, and sites, balancing reliability, security, capacity, and cost.
Build connected systems, network, and cloud foundations, including compute, storage, identity, connectivity, and core network services.
Automate provisioning, configuration, upgrades, and retirement through reusable infrastructure-as-code modules, scripts, and APIs.
Create tested delivery pipelines and self-service tools, with version control, review, drift detection, secure defaults, and rollback.
Build and support internal AI tooling that helps teams automate work and access approved AI capabilities. Partner with the AI Platform Engineer on secure integrations and reusable infrastructure, with appropriate access controls and human review for consequential actions.
Validate builds before handoff, including connectivity, monitoring, backups, recovery, and failover. Resolve recurring problems through engineering improvements and share knowledge with the team.

Required Qualifications

6+ years of experience in infrastructure or platform engineering, including ownership of new builds from design through production.
3+ years building infrastructure automation with infrastructure as code (such as Terraform or Ansible) and scripting in Python, PowerShell, or Bash.
Hands-on experience deploying infrastructure on at least one major cloud platform, such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
Strong systems or networking expertise, with working knowledge of operating systems, virtualization, storage, identity, DNS, DHCP, firewalls, and connectivity.
Experience delivering repeatable infrastructure changes through Git, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, and configuration validation or drift detection.
Ability to build secure internal tools and API integrations, manage permissions and secrets, document designs, and communicate technical tradeoffs clearly.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with new-site builds, hybrid environments, or infrastructure delivery in a growing engineering or manufacturing organization.
Experience delivering internal AI tools or agent workflows with evaluations, access controls, and appropriate human review.
Relevant cloud, networking, or automation certifications; experience building self-service platforms used by multiple teams.

Additional Requirements

Available to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
