Senior IT Systems and Infrastructure Engineer
Job description
About the role You'll join Forterra's IT Infrastructure team as a hands-on engineer across our on-prem virtualization, storage, and backup platforms and the hybrid cloud identity layer above them.
The team runs real hardware it is accountable for: Proxmox clusters, NetApp storage, Veeam and Proxmox Backup Server, and a Microsoft GCC High tenant spanning Entra ID and Azure Government, alongside AWS, Palo Alto, and Juniper. When we stand up infrastructure at a new site, you'll be in the room shaping it and on the ground deploying it.
We're looking for a generalist: someone equally comfortable hardening a Windows Server baseline, debugging a Debian kernel issue on a Proxmox node, and reasoning…
Job responsibilities
- Run and evolve our Proxmox VE clusters and NetApp storage: capacity, performance, upgrades, lifecycle.
- Administer Entra ID and Azure Government in our GCC High tenant, plus Active Directory and Intune, working with Cybersecurity on policy and controls. AWS where it fits.
- Administer and harden Windows Server and Ubuntu/Debian: patching, security baselines, compliance evidence.
- Design infrastructure at enterprise scale with Cybersecurity, Network Engineering, and Development.
- Shape disaster recovery and business continuity for cloud and on-prem services on Veeam and Proxmox Backup Server.
- Extend our configuration-as-code practice in Ansible, turning manual work into repeatable systems for the whole team.
