Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer

Job Title

Job Description

We are seeking a seasoned Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer to join our dynamic Enterprise Infrastructure team. The ideal candidate will combine strong software development, integration, and automation skills with a solid background in IT operations or systems operations, and hands-on experience with modern cloud-native platforms, GitOps, and observability.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and maintain scalable, reliable automation and integrations across AWS, GCP, and Azure, SaaS platforms, and custom services (including APIs and event-driven workflows).

• Design, implement, and operate CI/CD using Jenkins, Dagger, Terraform, and Docker, with repeatable pipelines for applications and platform components.

• Work in a Git-centric workflow (branching, reviews, collaboration) and contribute to infrastructure-as-code and GitOps delivery models.

• Build, operate, and troubleshoot workloads on Kubernetes, using Kustomize and Helm, and platform tooling such as Argo CD, Argo Workflows, Argo Events, Argo Rollouts, Crossplane, and related controllers (External Secrets, Sealed Secrets, cert-manager, ingress such as Traefik, AWS Load Balancer Controller, External DNS) as appropriate to the environment.

• Support configuration management and fleet-style operations with Ansible where applicable, alongside cloud APIs and automation.

• Develop and maintain REST (and SOAP where legacy systems require) APIs and integrations between services, data stores, and identity systems.

• Program in Python, Go, and TypeScript/JavaScript (Node.js) (and other languages as needed) for tooling, integrations, and platform automation.

• Apply Agile practices to prioritize work, collaborate with stakeholders, and deliver incremental value with clear operational outcomes.

• Design and operate event-driven patterns using managed services (e.g. Lambda, SQS, SNS, API Gateway) and/or Kubernetes-native and workflow platforms (Knative, workflow engines, integration with n8n or similar) to improve responsiveness and scale.

• Contribute to observability and reliability: metrics, logs, and tracing aligned with stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Grafana Alloy (or equivalent), and operational dashboards for platform health.

• Where relevant, support developer portal and platform engineering initiatives (e.g. Backstage-style experiences), container registries (Harbor, artifact stores), and safe promotion patterns across environments.

Qualifications

• Minimum of five years of experience with a strong focus on automation, integration, and platform or systems engineering.

• Proficiency in AWS and GCP cloud services; familiarity with Azure is a plus. Strong hands-on experience with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code patterns.

• Extensive experience with Docker, Jenkins, and CI/CD; experience with Dagger or similar pipeline-as-code approaches is a plus.

• Strong programming skills in Python and Go; proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript for tooling or services is a plus.

• Experience with Git and collaborative development workflows.

• Experience building and consuming APIs (REST required; SOAP where legacy integrations exist).

• Familiarity with integration and low-code/automation tools (n8n, Zapier, or similar) for connecting systems and accelerating workflows.

• Familiarity with Single Sign-On, SAML, and OpenID Connect (OIDC); experience with identity platforms such as Okta is a plus.

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Helm/Kustomize, and GitOps (Argo CD or equivalent); exposure to Crossplane or multi-cluster patterns is a plus.

• Broad experience integrating SaaS products and cloud services into secure, auditable enterprise patterns.

• Experience with Agile methodologies, iterative delivery, and adapting to changing requirements.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to handle complex, cross-team initiatives and prioritize effectively.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to work with diverse teams and deliver high-quality, supportable outcomes.
