Job Description

Senior Hybrid Cloud Engineer (Infrastructure)
Indianapolis, IN | Hybrid (on-site Tuesday through Thursday) | Direct Hire

About the Opportunity

A growing manufacturer of consumer products is hiring a senior infrastructure engineer who is equally comfortable planning systems and running them. Acquisitions have grown the company's server count sharply and brought in many different legacy build standards. This person will help work through that environment, decide what to keep and what to retire, and move what remains onto one consistent standard.
The environment covers Windows, Linux, on-premises virtualization, and public cloud. Expect roughly 60% of your time on running and supporting what is already in place and about 40% on project work, with the mix changing from week to week.

What You Will Do

Assess inherited server environments and Client out plans for consolidation, migration, and decommissioning
Run core Windows services (Active Directory, DHCP, DNS, file and print), with Linux support alongside
Deploy, patch, upgrade, and harden servers at several sites
Maintain VMware and Nutanix clusters, from configuration and hardening through patching and performance
Build and support AWS workloads (compute, storage, databases, monitoring, and security), including serverless solutions, plus some Azure
Automate builds and configuration with Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell, and Python, while still handling console work when that is the faster path
Write scripts, integrations, and reports that cut manual steps out of daily operations
Own backup, retention, and DR for assigned systems, test recovery on a schedule, and keep results within RTO and RPO targets
Track capacity, availability, and cloud spend, and recommend changes before problems surface
Keep runbooks, standards, and system documentation current
Contribute to lifecycle planning and budget input for hardware refreshes and modernization
Follow ITIL practices for incident, change, request, and problem handling
Engage business users directly, question requirements when needed, and propose better options
Coordinate with outside vendors, consultants, and in-house network, security, and application teams
Help support infrastructure for manufacturing (OT) systems at plant locations
Participate in a light on-call rotation and scheduled maintenance windows

Required Experience

5+ years of hands-on server and data center infrastructure work (desktop or endpoint engineering does not count toward this)
Strong background with Windows Server, Active Directory, and DNS/DHCP across multiple sites, along with working Linux skills
Administration of VMware or a comparable virtualization platform
Practical AWS experience; Azure is helpful
Scripting in PowerShell, Python, or shell
Working knowledge of Terraform and Ansible
Solid grasp of patching, monitoring, backup and recovery, DR, and hardening
Interest in doing the hands-on work yourself, from design through build and troubleshooting
Clear communication with non-technical users and the confidence to push back on a request that will not hold up
Bachelor's in a technical field, or equivalent experience

Nice to Have

Nutanix administration
Azure or AIX experience
Other automation and configuration tools such as Jenkins, Puppet, or SaltStack
Post-merger consolidation, cloud migration, or similar modernization projects
Certifications such as VMware VCP, AWS SysOps Administrator, Red Hat, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, or Microsoft Azure Administrator
Exposure to manufacturing or plant-floor infrastructure

What Success Looks Like

First 90 days: build working relationships with key users and deliver a discovery and migration plan for one business unit
By six months: operating independently and delivering solutions without day-to-day guidance

Work Arrangement

Hybrid schedule with Tuesday through Thursday on-site in north Indianapolis and Monday and Friday remote. On-call is informal and light, typically a call or two per month, plus a few planned after-hours maintenance events each year. This is an individual contributor role on a small, collaborative team.
