[Hiring] Cloud Infrastructure Engineer @Trinetix

Role Description

We are seeking a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to own and evolve a predominantly Azure-based infrastructure environment. This is a hands-on, senior-level individual contributor role with high autonomy and responsibility across cloud infrastructure, identity, endpoint management, and security.

The right person serves as a technical authority across the Microsoft ecosystem, responsible for designing, operating, and continuously improving a cloud-first environment that supports a distributed workforce and field operations at scale. This role requires ownership, proactive communication, and the judgment to prioritize without constant direction.

Environment Overview

• Cloud: Azure IaaS (primary platform) - VMs, Networking, Storage Accounts, Key Vaults, Azure Virtual Desktop
• Identity & Access: Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, RBAC, Conditional Access, MFA
• Data: SQL Server, Azure SQL Managed Instances
• Endpoints: ~2,000 Windows 11 field devices + ~800 Zebra Android handhelds
• Productivity: Microsoft 365 E5 - Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Defender suite
• Network: All-Fortinet; day-to-day management handled by third-party vendor
• Security: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, EDR, Vulnerability Management via M365 E5 stack

Core Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day administration of Azure IaaS infrastructure - virtual machines, networking, storage, Key Vaults, and Azure Virtual Desktop
• Manage Entra ID and Active Directory: user lifecycle, RBAC, Conditional Access policies, MFA, and SSO integrations
• Administer SQL Server and Azure SQL Managed Instances including patching, performance monitoring, and availability
• Lead endpoint management across Windows 11 and Android (Zebra) devices via Microsoft Intune - policy configuration, compliance, app deployment, and the ongoing Zebra rollout
• Maintain and optimize Microsoft 365 E5 services: Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and the Defender security suite
• Perform patch management, vulnerability remediation, and security baseline enforcement across the server and endpoint fleet
• Execute and maintain disaster recovery and backup procedures; participate in DR testing and unplanned outage response
• Develop and maintain PowerShell automation to reduce manual operational overhead for the team
• Document system configurations, architecture decisions, and change history; maintain operational runbooks
• Participate in on-call rotation; support planned maintenance windows and off-hours patching
• Act as escalation point for infrastructure issues from the broader IT team

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on Windows Server administration in production environments
• 4+ years of Azure IaaS experience - VMs, VNets, NSGs, Storage, Key Vaults, Azure Virtual Desktop
• Strong Entra ID (Azure AD) expertise: RBAC, Conditional Access, identity governance, hybrid identity
• Production experience with SQL Server and/or Azure SQL Managed Instances
• Proficiency in PowerShell scripting for infrastructure automation and operational tooling
• Experience with Microsoft 365 administration - Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint
• Familiarity with Microsoft Defender suite and endpoint security operations within M365 E5
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, firewall concepts, VPN, routing)
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously - self-direct priorities, manage workload without daily oversight
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills; comfortable in vendor and stakeholder calls

Preferred Qualifications

• Fortinet experience - hands-on FortiGate administration or FortiManager familiarity is a strong differentiator
• Microsoft Intune & endpoint management - Intune policy authoring, compliance baselines, app deployment across Windows and Android devices
• Vulnerability management - experience with Defender Vulnerability Management or equivalent within the M365 E5 stack
• Android / mobile device management - prior Zebra or ruggedized Android device deployment experience a plus given the active rollout
• Relevant certifications - AZ-104 (Azure Administrator), AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect), SC-300 (Identity & Access), MS-102 (M365 Administrator) or equivalent

On-call expectations

• Participation in a shared on-call rotation (~1 week every few weeks)
• Occasional off-hours maintenance windows for patching and upgrades
• Low-to-moderate incident volume, with a focus on proactive stability

What Makes a Great Fit

• You treat infrastructure as a product - documented, repeatable, and improvable over time
• You proactively identify gaps and surface them with proposed solutions, not just problem reports
• You can context-switch between strategic architecture discussions and hands-on troubleshooting in the same day
• You communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders and hold your ground constructively in vendor conversations
• You are comfortable owning work streams end-to-end with minimal hand-holding

Why This Role Matters

• Own and shape a 99% Azure IaaS environment with minimal on-prem footprint
• Drive improvements across identity, endpoint management, and security posture
• Operate in a high-autonomy environment with direct impact on infrastructure direction
• Work with enterprise-scale systems supporting thousands of endpoints and users
• Influence standards, automation, and long-term infrastructure strategy
