System Engineer

Who We Are Looking For

Our System Engineer position requires a technically strong problem solver to design, build, and evolve our infrastructure platforms across Windows and Linux environments. This role focuses on developing scalable, secure, and standardized systems, including containerized platforms and Kubernetes-based orchestration, with a security-first approach to infrastructure design. Our environment includes both on-premises and cloud infrastructure, supporting modern application workloads. The ideal candidate thrives in solving complex infrastructure challenges, driving automation, and establishing patterns that improve reliability, performance, and operational efficiency.

What It Takes

• Proven background designing and building physical and virtual infrastructure platforms
• Expertise with Linux-based (Ubuntu, RHEL, etc.) and Windows-based server environments
• Demonstrated capability in designing and supporting enterprise Windows Server services (e.g., Active Directory, DNS, Group Policy, identity integration)
• Experience integrating Linux systems with Active Directory, including authentication concepts and related troubleshooting techniques
• Background working with virtualization platforms and managing hybrid environments
• Proficiency with container technologies (Docker, Podman, containerd, etc.) and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, RKE2, etc.), including cluster design, deployment, and operations, along with a strong understanding of container networking, storage, and automation principles
• Working knowledge of Azure/Entra ID hybridization, failover, and cloud workloads
• Applied experience with system and network hardening (e.g., CIS benchmarks, security best practices)
• Knowledge of container and Kubernetes security, including image vulnerability management, RBAC and identity controls, and network segmentation policies
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible, etc.) is a plus
• Capability to design and implement reusable infrastructure patterns and platform standards
• Solid understanding of networking concepts (DNS, load balancing, segmentation, and general network fundamentals)
• Proven ability to diagnose and resolve system, performance, and connectivity issues
• Ability to manage and prioritize multiple systems and tasks effectively
• Strong problem-solving and analytical capabilities
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

What YOU Will Be Doing

• Design, build, and evolve scalable, standardized infrastructure platforms across on-premises and cloud environments to support modern, container-based applications
• Establish and implement infrastructure standards, including reusable builds, templates, and configuration practices to drive consistency and efficiency
• Design and standardize physical and virtual infrastructure platforms, including system builds, configurations, and lifecycle management strategies
• Support and operate container platforms across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments, including orchestration, scaling, service management, and platform components such as networking, ingress, and load balancing
• Provide high-level support and participate in on-call rotations
• Assist clients through scheduled virtual meetings by assessing their infrastructure and troubleshooting connectivity and runtime issues
• Establish observability frameworks and metrics standards across infrastructure platforms
• Analyze and optimize system performance, scalability, availability, and reliability to ensure resilient, highly available, and recoverable infrastructure
• Architect and standardize Windows Server platforms and enterprise services, including identity, policy, and hybrid environment integration
• Partner with development and technical teams to drive continuous improvement of systems and platform capabilities
• Document infrastructure designs, configurations, and operational procedures to support maintainability and knowledge sharing
• Foster a collaborative team environment and facilitate communication between development and infrastructure teams
• Leverage AI-assisted tools to enhance infrastructure automation, monitoring, and operational efficiency (e.g., anomaly detection, intelligent alerting, code generation)
• Assist in the installation, maintenance, and movement of server and desktop hardware as necessary
