About the Role
We’re looking for a Lead IT Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of our core technology environment and ensure that our systems are robust, secure, and scalable. You’ll lead infrastructure strategy, oversee daily operations, and guide a small team of engineers to deliver reliable, high-performing IT services that power our business.
This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who thrives on designing, improving, and maintaining complex infrastructure environments — and who enjoys mentoring others while still staying close to the technology.
Key Responsibilities


  • Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of on-premise and cloud infrastructure (e.g. Azure, AWS, VMware, Hyper-V).

  • Ensure high availability, performance, and security across all IT systems and networks.

  • Manage and develop the IT infrastructure team, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.

  • Oversee backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies.

  • Drive automation and infrastructure-as-code initiatives (e.g. Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell).

  • Monitor system performance, identify areas for optimization, and deliver proactive improvements.

  • Collaborate with Cybersecurity, DevOps, and Application teams to align infrastructure with business needs.

  • Manage vendor relationships and budget planning for hardware, software, and cloud services.

About You


  • Proven experience in a senior or lead infrastructure engineering role.

  • Deep technical expertise in networking, virtualization, storage, and cloud technologies.

  • Strong background in Windows and/or Linux server environments.

  • Demonstrated experience with infrastructure automation and CI/CD integration.

  • Familiarity with ITIL principles and enterprise monitoring tools.

  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills.

  • Certifications such as Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect, AWS Certified SysOps Administrator, or VMware VCP are desirable

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
