We're hiring for a large-scale infrastructure migration moving thousands of servers from Azure to Google Cloud Platform. This is a hands-on engineering role — not a "check the DevOps box" position — ideal for someone with a strong Windows systems administration background who's picked up cloud and automation skills along the way.

- Comfortable in a heavier PowerShell environment
- Must be local to or willing to relocate to the Irving, TX area
