- GPU compute, HPC scheduling, or container runtimes on Linux.
- Azure Virtual Desktop or another virtual desktop platform serving engineering workloads.
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform, Bicep or similar.
- Cloud-managed networking such as Cisco Meraki, and site-to-site VPN.

Job Description
As a Senior Infrastructure & Cloud Engineer you will own the systems the company runs on. That means Azure Government and Microsoft 365 GCC High, identity and endpoint management, the network, and a real on-premises estate: Linux servers, a virtualization and ZFS storage platform, GPU compute for AI and simulation work, and the version control and license systems engineering depends on every day. The environment is young enough that you will still be building it and established enough that people depend on it. You will take on the next phase of the buildout, including a second site, while owning reliability for everything already running. This is a hands-on engineering role. You will work directly with IT leadership on architecture, standards and the roadmap, in a company where speed and security both matter and the compliance program is operational rather than aspirational.
