We are seeking an Infrastructure DevOps Specialist to support our operations in Ontario, Canada. This is a results-driven DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer role with strong, hands-on experience across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to design, automate, and operate scalable, secure infrastructure in a hybrid environment.

You will build and maintain cloud-native platforms, implement modern DevOps practices, integrate observability and security tooling, and support compliance initiatives (PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, ISA/IEC 62443). This role is critical in driving operational excellence, reliability, and security across our hybrid environment.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Cloud & Infrastructure Engineering
• Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, and GCP using Terraform, Ansible, and related IaC tools.
• Implement standardized, reusable infrastructure-as-code templates to ensure consistency, security, and audit readiness.
• Manage and optimize virtual infrastructure across VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, and Oracle KVM environments.
• Configure and support core infrastructure services including Active Directory, load balancers, and related network components.
• Support disaster recovery (DR) and high availability (HA) design, testing, and documentation.

DevOps, Automation & CI/CD

• Develop, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines (primarily GitHub Actions, Jenkins) to automate build, test, and deployment workflows.
• Containerize and orchestrate applications using Docker and Kubernetes, including cluster configuration and lifecycle management.
• Create automation scripts and tools in Python, PowerShell, and Bash to streamline operational tasks and reduce manual effort.
• Collaborate with development and QA teams to integrate DevOps practices, improve release frequency, and enhance deployment reliability.

Security, Compliance & Incident Response

• Integrate and manage security tooling and cloud-native security services.
• Implement and maintain security controls aligned with PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and ISA/IEC 62443 requirements.
• Collaborate with security teams to conduct vulnerability assessments, remediate findings, and harden infrastructure configurations.
• Support incident response activities, including log analysis, evidence collection, and root cause investigation for security and infrastructure events.
• Contribute to the development and refinement of runbooks, security playbooks, and incident management processes.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

• 5+ years of professional experience in IT infrastructure, DevOps, or cloud engineering roles.
• Hands-on experience with at least two major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), including networking, security groups, IAM, and managed services.
• Strong proficiency with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and configuration management (Ansible or similar).
• Practical experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Working knowledge of security best practices, vulnerability management, and monitoring in cloud and hybrid environments.
• Familiarity with SIEM, logging, and monitoring tools.
• Scripting skills in Python and at least one of PowerShell or Bash.
• Experience with ITSM processes (incident, change, problem) and ticketing tools (e.g., Jira).
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills with a proactive approach.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document and explain complex technical concepts.

What Desired Skills You'll Bring:

• Experience in security operations or incident response, including log analysis, malware investigation, or digital forensics.
• Background working with compliance frameworks such as PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, or ISA/IEC 62443.
• Exposure to on-prem/hybrid datacenter operations and networking.
• Familiarity with C# or C/C++ is an asset for tooling and integrations.
