Job description

Infrastructure Systems Engineer | $120,000 to $140,000 + Bonus | US-Based | Remote

We are partnering with a leading professional services organization seeking an Infrastructure Systems Engineer to join its established infrastructure team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an infrastructure engineer with strong enterprise storage experience who wants to take ownership of critical infrastructure while also helping modernize the organization’s disaster recovery and automation capabilities.

The Role

The Infrastructure Systems Engineer will support and develop a mixed on-premise and cloud infrastructure environment, with a particular focus on enterprise storage, disaster recovery, virtualization and Windows infrastructure.

A key part of the role will be managing the existing storage environment while helping the organization evolve its disaster recovery capabilities from established manual processes toward a more automated, resilient and ransomware-ready approach.

Responsibilities will include:

• Managing and maintaining enterprise storage platforms, ideally Dell and/or Pure Storage, including technologies such as Unity and FlashBlade
• Supporting the development and modernization of disaster recovery processes, including greater automation and on-demand failover capabilities
• Supporting backup and recovery technologies, with exposure to Rubrik, Commvault or similar platforms
• Administering and troubleshooting VMware virtualized environments
• Supporting Windows Server infrastructure and associated hardware
• Managing virtual machines across both data center and cloud environments
• Supporting cloud infrastructure, ideally within Microsoft Azure
• Working closely with Information Security around patching, updates, access and infrastructure resilience
• Using scripting and automation to improve repeatability and reduce manual administration
• Monitoring infrastructure performance and proactively resolving issues
• Producing and maintaining technical documentation
• Participating in an on-call rotation for business-critical infrastructure issues

What We’re Looking For

The successful candidate will ideally bring:

• 3+ years of infrastructure engineering experience, with 5+ years preferred
• Strong hands‑on experience with enterprise storage technologies
• Experience with Dell and/or Pure Storage highly preferred
• Strong understanding of backup and disaster recovery
• Experience with VMware or comparable virtualization technologies
• Exposure to Azure or another cloud environment
• Experience with scripting, automation or infrastructure tooling
• Exposure to Rubrik, Commvault, Veeam or similar backup/DR technologies would be beneficial
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving capabilities
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to operate effectively within a collaborative infrastructure team

We are particularly interested in candidates who are strong across storage and disaster recovery, even if their VMware or broader server experience is lighter. Equally, experienced infrastructure professionals are welcome, provided they have kept pace with modern cloud and automation technologies.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

The role offers the chance to take ownership of core enterprise infrastructure while having a meaningful impact on how the organization approaches resilience, disaster recovery and automation.

Rather than simply maintaining an established environment, you will have the opportunity to help modernize key processes and work across storage, virtualization, cloud and infrastructure security.
