• Working knowledge of secure engineering, policy-as-code, secrets management, auditability, and automated control evidence within infrastructure delivery.
• Experience designing or operating reliable, production-grade infrastructure capabilities with attention to observability, resilience, maintainability, and lifecycle ownership.
• Ability to independently deliver complex infrastructure solutions while contributing to shared standards, reusable patterns, technical documentation, and architecture decisions.
• Curiosity and a growth mindset, including ability to learn emerging practices, seek feedback, share knowledge, and treat ambiguity as an engineering opportunity.
• Experience reviewing technical work, mentoring less-experienced engineers, and explaining the reasoning behind engineering decisions.
• Awareness of responsible applications of AI-assisted engineering and intelligent automation within governed enterprise platforms.
• Relevant industry certifications in cloud, infrastructure, automation, security, reliability, or architecture.

Responsibilities

• Work toward operational targets that have a major impact on infrastructure engineering department or job-area results and contribute to developing goals for the area of responsibility.
• Design, build, manage, and implement enterprise infrastructure technology platforms and systems across cloud, network, database, storage, platform, computing, or middleware domains.
• Develop and apply automation, monitoring, and optimization techniques to support infrastructure availability and performance.
• Manage large infrastructure projects and programs aligned with organizational strategy and regulatory requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external partners to integrate technologies and continuously improve infrastructure standards and processes.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues affecting infrastructure performance and reliability.
• Ensure compliance with technology strategies, standards, and governance to mitigate risks and support regulatory adherence.
