Now Hiring: Infrastructure/IT Architect | Healthcare IT Leadership Opportunity

We're looking for a seasoned Infrastructure/IT Architect who knows what it takes to keep complex technology systems running smoothly — and more importantly, evolving smartly. If you've been the go-to person for high-stakes backend infrastructure, enjoy solving messy, mission-critical problems, and know the ins and outs of Microsoft’s cloud and on-prem stack, this might be your next move.

What employees are saying:

• I felt valued and supported by my managers throughout the entire duration of my tenure.
• Hands down one of the most rewarding career experiences I have ever had!
• Excellent place to work, atmosphere is great, people are friendly, excellent benefits!

What makes this role different:

This isn’t a cog-in-the-machine role. You’ll have real input, ownership, and influence. You'll work across departments and with affiliate sites — all while building something that matters in a clinical, high-impact environment.

Title Infrastructure/IT Architect

Location: Stamford, CT Hybrid

The role in a nutshell:

You’ll be a key player behind the curtain — designing, supporting, and evolving the IT backbone that helps clinical teams deliver care. This means streamlining operations, leading technical planning for projects, managing hybrid environments (cloud + on-prem), and owning high-level troubleshooting (think level 3 support). The systems you touch — like Active Directory, Azure, O365, DNS, user lifecycle management. This role has reach, impact, and a direct line to decision-makers.

This role might be a great fit if you:

• Are deeply familiar with Microsoft technologies and how they’re actually used in enterprise IT — not just the textbook.
• Understand infrastructure isn’t just about uptime, but also about scalability, security, and smart automation.
• Like to think a few steps ahead — helping organizations not just fix, but evolve their tech.

A few core responsibilities:

• Help plan our future IT footprint — both cloud and on-prem.
• Lead and resolve complex system issues across Active Directory, Azure AD, Exchange Online, file and DNS services.
• Partner with IT security teams to manage user identity, access, and lifecycle.
• Create tools, scripts, policies, or automation that make life easier for the whole IT org.
• Evaluate new tech and help make the case (or not) for its adoption.
• Work closely with vendors and internal stakeholders to align goals and resolve infrastructure issues.

Experience we’re looking for:

• 5+ years in IT infrastructure/architecture roles — healthcare experience strongly preferred.
• Deep familiarity with Azure, Office 365, AD, DNS, SMTP, Windows Server, and Microsoft Identity.
• You’ve scripted your way out of more than a few tight spots (PowerShell, Python = great to have).
• Bachelor’s in IT, engineering, electronics, or equivalent hands-on experience. Military technical experience also welcomed.
