Infrastructure Engineer (Automation & AI)

Marmon Holdings, Inc. • Carol Stream, IL

4d • $80,000 - $120,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

The Infrastructure Engineer is a hands-on team contributor role, not a leadership position. Reporting to the Director, IT Infrastructure, you will sit on a team of infrastructure engineers and work side-by-side with the Cloud Architect and the Security Manager to help define and build our approach to Infrastructure as Code (IaC), backup automation, and broader infrastructure automation across a hybrid Azure and on-prem environment. This role is an important part of a company growth initiative to build a more automated, resilient, and AI-enabled infrastructure practice.
You will script, build, and document automation in close collaboration with the Cloud Architect, the Security Manager, and the rest of the Infrastructure team, reducing manual work and strengthening our security and compliance posture. Because this role supports projects with real business impact, strong communication and collaboration skills are essential.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, related field, or equivalent hands-on experience
• 3–6 years of infrastructure engineering experience, with hands-on Azure experience across compute, storage, networking, and Entra ID
• Experience writing or supporting IaC (Terraform, Bicep/ARM, or equivalent) — repeatable, version-controlled deployments, not one-off scripts
• Experience with configuration management and automation tooling (Ansible, PowerShell DSC, Power Automate)
• Strong scripting ability in PowerShell and/or Python — automation is a core part of this role, not a nice-to-have
• Experience operating and integrating hybrid environments that bridge on-prem virtualization (Hyper-V/VMware) with Azure
• Familiarity with CI/CD tooling (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and Git-based version control
• Understanding of identity and Zero Trust concepts (Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM, SSO)
• Exposure to security/compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and CAB practices
• Excellent communicator who can translate automation and AI concepts into plain language for business stakeholders
• Genuinely enjoys project work with the business — comfortable being an active team member on initiatives with non-IT partners, not just working IT-to-IT
• Self-directed and curious; treats automation as a mandate and documentation as part of the job, not an afterthought
• Team player who thrives as part of a growing team — this role collaborates closely with the Cloud Architect and the Security Manager as teammates, executing alongside them rather than setting independent direction
• Logical, detail-oriented, and comfortable clarifying requirements before committing to a solution
• Low-ego and collaborative — willing to learn from others and share credit
• Comfortable with ambiguity and evolving requirements in a fast-moving technology landscape
• Strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills

Nice To Haves

• Preferred certifications: Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator Associate, Azure AI Engineer Associate, HashiCorp Certified Terraform Associate, or equivalent
• Exposure to AI or automation platforms — Azure AI Foundry, OpenAI/Copilot integrations, RAG architectures — a plus
• Experience with monitoring/observability tooling a plus
• Containers and Kubernetes experience
• Network automation (Cisco, Cloudflare, or similar programmable network platforms)
• PKI, HSM, or Key Vault / secrets management experience
• Experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment

Responsibilities

• Partner with the Cloud Architect and the Security Manager to help define, build, and maintain IaC (Terraform, Bicep/ARM, or equivalent) across our hybrid Azure and on-prem environment
• Support Azure implementation for compute, storage, networking, and identity (Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM), working closely with the Cloud Architect and the Security Manager
• Help build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure changes (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions), supporting version control and change control (CAB) practices
• Design and maintain automation for immutable backups and disaster recovery processes, in partnership with the Cloud Architect, the Security Manager, and the Infrastructure team
• Support AI-enablement tooling — RAG pipelines, Azure AI Foundry, Copilot/agent integrations — as directed, working with the software engineering and data teams
• Help automate identity, access, and security workflows with the Security Manager in support of Zero Trust initiatives (SSO, Conditional Access, endpoint automation)
• Script and automate recurring IT operations using PowerShell, Python, and Power Automate, following the team's automation-first mandate: do it twice, script it; do it three times, automate it and document it as an SOP
• Support monitoring, alerting, and self-healing automation to reduce manual intervention across hybrid workloads
• Document automation, architecture decisions, and SOPs mapped to SOC 2 / ISO 27001 control requirements
• Participate as a team member on cross-functional automation and AI projects with the business — helping translate requirements into working solutions
• Provide Tier 3 support for automation and Azure-related issues in partnership with the Cloud Architect and the Security Manager
• Perform other duties as assigned
• Follow established policies and procedures as outlined in Marmon Foodservice Technologies’ Quality Manual and associated documents
• Participate in quality assurance and business improvement activities, including training and improvement projects as defined by the organization

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, Vision, and Prescription Drug insurance plans
• Access to a Health Advocate who is an expert in Marmon’s health plan and can help you select the best health benefits for you and your family
• Tax advantaged spending accounts for health and dependent care expenses
• Wellness programs and resources including Telehealth, Mental Health, Fitness, and Family Planning
• Generous paid time off for personal use, holidays, and parental leave
• Company-sponsored life insurance
• 401(k) with fully vested company match; Marmon may also make an additional annual discretionary contribution to your account, whether or not you contribute on your own
