About The Position

The Infrastructure & Security Engineer is a key technical role on DSI’s IT team, responsible for the hands-on execution of infrastructure operations and cybersecurity defense across a multi-warehouse logistics environment. You will also contribute to desktop engineering and participate in the team’s rotating helpdesk coverage—areas shared across the IT group, not carried solo. DSI’s IT team operates a structured Lean IT model that protects dedicated deep-focus time for infrastructure and security project work every day, while maintaining responsive, customer-facing support during scheduled rotation blocks. The ideal candidate brings strong systems and networking fundamentals, a security-aware mindset, and the willingness to grow into areas where they don’t yet have deep expertise. We invest in our people through mentorship and a team culture that values learning over perfection.
