- Lead problem resolution for complex infrastructure issues and proactively drive root-cause analysis to prevent recurrence.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with R&D, Customer Success, Operations, and IT Infrastructure Team to align infrastructure with business needs and compliance requirements (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, DORA).
- Optimize performance and cost-efficiency of cloud services, storage, and networking.
- Contribute to IT strategy, evaluating emerging technologies and advising on standards, policies, and best practices.
Qualifications & Experience
- Proven experience (3+ years) managing modern IT infrastructure in a hybrid cloud environment.
- Strong expertise in Microsoft 365 & Azure, including identity management, conditional access, Intune, and device compliance.
- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (routing, switching, DNS, DHCP, VPN, SD-WAN) and cloud networking concepts.
- Proficiency in automation and scripting (PowerShell, Python, or similar).
- Strong grasp of cybersecurity principles and experience implementing security controls in line with frameworks like ISO 27001 or NIST.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work across global teams.
- Bachelor's degree in IT, Computer Science, or equivalent professional experience.
Preferred Skills
