• At least three years of direct engineering management experience and five years of hands‑on platform, infrastructure, or software engineering experience.
• Experience administering virtualized on-premises environments, especially VMware vSphere or ESXi.
• Experience with virtual desktop infrastructure or remote access systems.
• Experience deploying and operating workloads on a major cloud platform; Google Cloud is preferred.
• Working knowledge of Linux administration, containers, and CI/CD pipelines, with the ability to plan and communicate engineering work.

Nice to have

• Experience extending or migrating on‑premises workloads to Google Cloud, or using Terraform and Terraform.
• Familiarity with regulated or security‑sensitive environments such as FedRAMP, CMMC, or SOC 2, and identity protocols such as SSO, OIDC, or SAML.

• Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, with the employer covering 85–100% of monthly premiums for employees and family.
• Traditional and Roth 401(k) options with an employer match, flexible leave, and 12 paid federal holidays.
