Our Promise to Our Teammates: Truliant strives to provide all teammates with an enjoyable place to work where they feel valued, empowered and rewarded for all that they do.

Why this role matters

At Truliant Federal Credit Union, reliable and secure technology helps our teams serve members with confidence. As Director of IT Data Center and Network Engineering, you'll shape the strategy behind our data center, cloud, network, and telecom environments while ensuring they can scale with the business.


This is an opportunity for a technology leader who enjoys building strong teams, modernizing complex infrastructure, and turning long-term strategy into dependable day-to-day performance.


What you'll do

In this role, you'll lead the teams and strategy responsible for Truliant's core infrastructure. You'll balance operational stability, security, scalability, and cost while advancing cloud-first capabilities and keeping technology aligned with business priorities.


Day to day, you'll:

Beyond that, you'll identify opportunities to automate and simplify work, review operational and risk metrics, influence enterprise technology decisions, and serve as an escalation point when teams need a practical path forward.


What you bring

We're looking for a strategic, hands-on technology leader who can connect infrastructure decisions to business outcomes, communicate clearly with technical and executive audiences, and create an environment where teams can do their best work.


This role is a great fit if you have:

  • Work with cloud computing protocols and standards across Azure, AWS, or GCP, and support infrastructure decisions spanning on-premises and cloud environments.
  • Interpret technical documentation, research technology issues, analyze complex problems, and implement practical efficiency improvements.
  • Manage budgets, capacity, vendors, contracts, risk considerations, and executive-level operational reporting.
  • Communicate clearly in English, verbally and in writing, and translate technical priorities for executives, department leaders, engineers, and business partners.

Education/Certifications:
  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or a related field, or a Bachelor of Arts degree.

You should also be comfortable making independent decisions, adjusting resources and priorities as needs change, working with minimal supervision, and maintaining a strong commitment to excellent member service.

  • A visible leadership opportunity to shape infrastructure strategy that supports Truliant's member-focused mission.
  • The chance to modernize a broad technology environment spanning data center, cloud, network, telecom, disaster recovery, and emerging capabilities.
