Job description

SmartLight Analytics is building a modern, automation-first infrastructure platform to support secure healthcare analytics at scale.
We are hiring a Senior Infrastructure Automation & Security Engineer to take ownership of our hybrid environment spanning Hyper-V and Microsoft Azure. This is a hands-on senior engineering role responsible for automation, security hardening, reliability, and compliance alignment across production systems operating under SOC 2 and HIPAA.
This role is a platform engineering role focused on reducing operational friction, strengthening security posture, and building repeatable, automated infrastructure.
If you enjoy modernizing environments, eliminating manual work, and designing secure systems in regulated industries, this role offers meaningful ownership and impact.

Applicants for employment in the US must have work authorization that does not now or in the future require sponsorship of a visa for employment authorization in the United States.

Scope of Ownership
Hybrid Infrastructure Engineering

Own Hyper-V lifecycle management and integration with Azure workloads
Optimize VM performance, storage, and resource allocation
Establish and enforce infrastructure configuration standards
Reduce configuration drift across environments
Design and operate Azure workloads across compute, networking, identity, and security
Increase operational visibility and control traceability across the hybrid platform

Automation at Scale

Architect Python and PowerShell automation across infrastructure workflows
Replace manual provisioning with API-driven orchestration
Integrate Azure, Microsoft Graph, and security tooling APIs
Build repeatable infrastructure validation and compliance checks

Security Engineering

Harden systems to CIS and Microsoft security benchmarks
Design logging and monitoring strategies aligned to control objectives
Translate SOC 2 and HIPAA requirements into enforceable engineering controls
Implement continuous control validation rather than audit-period preparation

Reliability & Risk Reduction

Improve backup architecture and validate restore capabilities
Increase platform resilience and reduce single points of failure
Establish measurable infrastructure standards and SLO-driven improvements

What Success Looks Like
Within 12 months:

Manual operational tasks materially reduced through automation
Azure governance model standardized and documented
Hybrid platform hardened with measurable reduction in configuration drift
Continuous compliance validation integrated into operations
Reduced MSP dependency for engineering-level decisions

Required Skills and Qualifications:

7+ years in infrastructure engineering or platform engineering
Deep Azure experience across networking, identity, and security
Strong Windows Server expertise (Active Directory, DNS, Group Policy)
Strong Hyper-V or enterprise virtualization experience
Advanced PowerShell engineering
Production-grade Python automation experience
Experience operating within regulated environments (SOC 2, HIPAA, or similar)

Preferred Qualifications:

SQL Server infrastructure support
Defender for Endpoint or similar EDR platforms
CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
Infrastructure as Code exposure (Terraform or equivalent)
