Description du poste

Strativ is partnering with a fast-growing, venture-backed defence technology company building AI-driven autonomous systems used in operations around the world. They're looking for a Staff Infrastructure Engineer to join their Cloud & Infrastructure team and help shape the foundations that will support their next phase of growth.

This is a senior, hands-on role. You'll set the standards for secure, scalable and resilient infrastructure across offices, engineering sites, data centres and hybrid cloud, while still rolling up your sleeves on the technical work.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading the design and operation of Active Directory and core identity services (Group Policy, DNS, authentication, replication, cloud identity integration)
• Engineering enterprise compute, virtualisation and storage platforms, including GPU-accelerated infrastructure, VDI and specialist engineering workloads
• Owning data centre and colocation deployments, from rack-level builds and capacity planning to hardware lifecycle
• Designing and testing backup, DR and resiliency solutions with clear RTO/RPO targets
• Building automation and repeatable deployment patterns with Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell, Python or Bash
• Supporting hybrid connectivity with AWS/Azure, plus containerised and Kubernetes workloads where needed
• Acting as an escalation point for critical incidents and taking part in on-call rotations
• Partnering with Cyber Security and Network Engineering, leading infrastructure projects end to end, and mentoring other engineers

What they're looking for:

• 8+ years engineering enterprise infrastructure in production environments
• Strong experience with virtualisation and storage (e.g. VMware, Hyper‑V, KVM, NetApp, Pure, Dell EMC)
• Solid Windows Server skills and working knowledge of Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu)
• Proven experience with backup, DR and business continuity planning
• Infrastructure-as-code and scripting experience
• Hybrid on‑prem and AWS/Azure experience
• A track record of leading complex initiatives and communicating clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice to have:

• Background in defence, aerospace, manufacturing or other mission‑critical environments
• GPU/HPC, Kubernetes or VDI (Horizon, Citrix, AVD) experience
• Exposure to regulated environments (NIST, CMMC)
• Certifications such as VCP, Microsoft, NetApp, AWS or Azure

San Francisco Bay Area, with regular on-site presence and occasional travel to other sites
