Platform Engineer - Datacenter Infrastructure

What You’ll Do

• Support hypervisor operations across a global datacenter footprint and provide VM management services, such as patching, backups, and monitoring through automation and at scale.

• Create and manage reusable Terraform modules and Ansible playbooks to ensure consistent, repeatable, and version-controlled deployments of all core services.

• Apply GitOps principles for managing all infrastructure and service configurations, using pull requests for changes and enabling automated reconciliation.

• Lead the architecture, automation, and operational management of core infrastructure services, including enterprise DNS, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and NTP.

• Design, build, and maintain a centralized log aggregation to feed observability platform for infrastructure and applications.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate the testing, validation, and promotion of changes to core service configurations and infrastructure.

• Embed security and compliance into the entire service lifecycle, including secret management, certificate lifecycle automation, and vulnerability scanning.

• Implement monitoring, alerting, and dashboards for all managed services, and apply SRE principles to improve their reliability and performance.

• Collaborate with network, security, and application teams to ensure seamless integration and consumption of core services.

• What You’ll Bring

• +5 year experience working as a systems engineer or site reliability engineer supporting on-premise datacenter infrastructure and core infrastructure services

• Proficient with hypervisor technologies that support operating systems and containers (e.g., VMware, Nutanix, Openshift)

• Proficient with automation and management of Windows Server and Linux VMs (eg Ubuntu, Redhat, Debian, etc)

• Deep hands-on experience engineering and automating core infrastructure services within a large-scale data center environment (e.g., DNS/BIND, Active Directory Certificate Services/PKI).
