The successful candidate will play a key role in designing, implementing and maintaining resilient and secure infrastructure, including on-premise and hybrid server environments as well as a variety of network environments.

Primary Responsibilities

• Design, deploy and maintain robust server and network infrastructure to support our clients' environments.

About You

You are an enthusiastic technology professional with 8+ years of experience keeping client-facing IT environments running with minimal interruption. You’re excited by the unknown, embracing messy situations and moving them to a stable solution. You analyze and design systems - including server, storage, and network environments - from a holistic perspective, not just a technical one. You don’t consider yourself an expert in any one IT sector - you appreciate that all systems are connected, and you leverage that idea to build even better solutions. You appreciate the simple yet resilient, scalable, maintainable solution just as much as the fancy solution with the newest features. You value teamwork and thrive in an environment where all viewpoints are heard. You relish opportunities to teach more junior team members, and you look forward to learning the newest technologies.
