What You’ll Do

Are you ready to take on a high-impact role at the intersection of server operations, cloud management, and enterprise security? As a Server Engineer II, you’ll play a key role on our global Server Operations team, supporting and advancing a hybrid infrastructure with a strong emphasis on Linux-based systems across on-premises datacenters and cloud environments, including Microsoft Azure.

This role focuses on day-to-day Linux server operations, drive proactive security remediation, and optimize cloud infrastructure to ensure reliability, scalability, and performance. You’ll partner across teams to deliver enterprise-scale solutions while maintaining a secure and resilient environment that supports critical business operations.

Server Operations & Support – Provide advanced administration and Level 2 support for global Windows and Linux environments; manage hypervisors including VMware vSphere, Nutanix Acropolis, and Hyper-V.
Identity & Directory Services – Administer and maintain Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, GPOs, and Certificate Services to ensure secure, reliable access and identity management.

Documentation & Knowledge Sharing – Maintain accurate operational procedures, system documentation, and reports to support continuity and stakeholder transparency.

The schedule for this position is:

Monday through Friday from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Participation in an on-call rotation and response to after-hours emergencies as required
Weekend maintenance windows, planned in advance, to support patching, upgrades, and infrastructure changes with minimal business impact

What You’ll Bring

Education – Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent work experience.
Experience – 5–7 years of progressive IT infrastructure experience, with at least 3+ years supporting large-scale Windows and virtualization environments.
Virtualization Expertise – Hands-on experience with VMware vSphere/ESXi, Nutanix Acropolis, and Hyper-V.
System Administration Skills – Proficiency with Windows Server (2016–2025) and Linux distributions such as RHEL and Ubuntu.
Cloud Knowledge – Strong background in Microsoft Azure (IaaS, Entra AD Connect, RBAC, ASR, Backup); Oracle Cloud Infrastructure familiarity a plus.
Directory & Identity Management – Skilled in Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, GPOs, and Certificate Services.
Monitoring & Configuration Tools – Experience with SCOM, Zabbix, SCCM, and Ansible Tower.
Security & Scripting – Strong understanding of vulnerability remediation, patch management, and compliance best practices; advanced proficiency in PowerShell scripting.
Professional Competencies – Clear communicator across technical and non-technical audiences; strong problem-solving abilities; ability to prioritize, stay resilient under pressure, and work collaboratively in a global team.
