We are constantly striving to improve the working environment and personal development opportunities for our more than 800 staff and teachers, who are among the most recognized experts in their respective fields.

The Infrastructure & Cloud Engineer is responsible for maintaining the reliability, security, and performance of EHL's hybrid IT infrastructure, managing servers, virtualization, storage, backup solutions, and core platform services while supporting the organization’s ongoing migration to Microsoft Azure. Working within an established IT team alongside a Cloud Engineer and specialized external partners, the role combines hands-on operational responsibilities with platform ownership, including troubleshooting issues, coordinating technical experts, evaluating proposed solutions, and ensuring that critical knowledge and decision-making remain within EHL. As a permanent position, it will also play a key role in the upcoming hardware renewal program and help define EHL's future infrastructure strategy, with a strong long-term focus on cloud technologies.

• Shape requirements, options, sizing, proofs of concept and recommendations during the upcoming 12-18-month renewal.
• Coordinate and challenge specialist infrastructure, cloud and network partners, follow delivery and internalise critical knowledge and documentation.
• Apply patching, hardening, access, backup and disaster recovery practices, and support level-3 incidents and problems.
• Automate recurring tasks with PowerShell and, progressively, infrastructure as code; maintain documentation and share knowledge.

Who are you ?

• You have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT Engineering, or a related field. Relevant certifications such as Microsoft Azure (AZ-104, AZ-305), virtualization, storage, or security certifications are considered a strong asset.
• You have strong experience managing hybrid infrastructure environments, including virtualisation, Windows Server, storage, backup and recovery solutions.
