• Define and implement inter-site network architecture, IP schemes, and DR solutions using tools like Zerto and Dell RecoverPoint.
• Ensure high availability, performance, and redundancy for enterprise systems such as analytics, middleware, and data platforms.
• Establish standards for infrastructure monitoring, logging, and alerting using Dynatrace, VMware vRealize, and EFK stack.
• Architect scalable backup and recovery strategies using SAN/NAS and orchestration tools like Perpetuuiti with clear RTO/RPO objectives.

Technical Skills

• Expertise in VMware vSphere, vSAN, and hyper-converged infrastructure platforms.
• Experience architecting infrastructure for Red Hat OpenShift and containerized workloads.
• Proficient in SAN/NAS provisioning, backup architecture, and integration with enterprise platforms such as Oracle, Cloudera, and ArcGIS.
• Solid understanding of data center networking—firewalls, load balancers, DNS, SD-WAN, VPNs, and inter-site connectivity.
• Hands-on with automation and configuration tools like Ansible, Terraform, Workspace ONE UEM, and backup/replication tools (e.g., Zerto, Dell RecoverPoint).
• Familiarity with monitoring and logging stacks like Dynatrace, EFK, IBM Guardium, and Splunk.
• Working knowledge of disaster recovery, failover design, and resilient multi-site infrastructure planning.

Experience and Soft Skills

• 12+ years in IT infrastructure, including 4+ years in infrastructure architecture for enterprise scale environments.
• Demonstrated success in designing and deploying data centers or private/hybrid cloud platforms.
• Proficient in documenting infrastructure using tools like Visio, , and Confluence for operational workflows and runbooks.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration with application, DevOps, security, and network teams to ensure seamless infrastructure delivery and support.
• Excellent communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills with a focus on reliability, scalability, and performance.

SHOULD HAVE

Responsibilities

• Define standards for infrastructure service naming, resource tagging, and version control practices.
• Drive capacity planning initiatives for compute, storage, and network utilization across environments.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning using tools like Ansible and Terraform for consistency and repeatability.
• Implement security best practices, including RBAC, Active Directory integration, and access policy enforcement.
• Contribute to DR validation planning and lead coordination of environment-level failover and recovery testing.

Technical Skills

• Familiarity with infrastructure integration needs for platforms such as IBM CP4I, ArcGIS Server, and OpenShift Data Foundation.
• Strong understanding of container networking models, ingress controllers, service mesh (e.g., Istio), and persistent volume provisioning.
• Hands-on experience in provisioning and hardening enterprise OS environments on Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Experience

• Experience managing infrastructure for regionally distributed applications with replication and failover requirements.
• Involvement in high availability infrastructure setups supporting clustered databases (e.g., Oracle RAC), big data (e.g., Hadoop), or containerized microservices.

Secondary Skills :

NICE TO HAVE

Technical Skills and Experience

• Experience in GitOps and ability to support GitOps based infrastructure provisioning and configuration management.
• Familiarity with advanced telemetry and observability integrations, including NOC dashboard design and cross-platform health visualization.
• Exposure to service mesh observability, infrastructure policy automation, or zero-touch provisioning approaches.
