📋 Description

• Architect and oversee enterprise server and infrastructure environments — Windows, Linux, and Unix servers, virtualization platforms, and storage. • Design and improve mission-critical ISP services for high availability and redundancy at large customer scale. • Build advanced automation and orchestration frameworks — tools, pipelines, and processes using Ansible, Terraform, and Python — that standardize deployments and remove manual intervention. • Lead vulnerability management, incident response, and compliance programs (FCC, PCI, SOC 2). • Guide system hardening and risk mitigation, and design and regularly test disaster-recovery, backup, and failover procedures. • Act as the highest-level technical escalation point and lead large cross-department infrastructure projects with senior network and engineering teams. • Drive adoption of emerging technologies, mentor junior and mid-level administrators, and produce executive-level documentation and reporting.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of server or networking experience • Expert knowledge of TCP/IP, ISP network architecture, and core protocols — routing, switching, and IP addressing • Mastery of managing and troubleshooting servers through shell commands and scripting • Deep automation and orchestration experience (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Python) • A security-first approach: vulnerability management, intrusion detection, incident handling, and compliance (FCC, PCI, SOC 2) • Proven ability to architect large-scale systems and lead complex root-cause investigations • Experience leading cross-functional initiatives and mentoring engineers • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field — or equivalent experience • Even better if you have Senior-level certifications: RHCE, Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE), Cisco CCNP/CCIE, or VMware Certified Professional (VCP) • Data-center and ISP-backbone design experience • A record of setting infrastructure strategy and standards at scale.

🏖️ Benefits

• Group health & dental insurance • 401(k) program with company match • Generous PTO program • Company wellness program • Employer-paid short- and long-term disability • And much more!
