IT Infrastructure Manager

Overview:Corporate Tools is looking to hire an IT Infrastructure Manager. What does that mean here? It means you're the one keeping our networks flowing, our packets behaving, and our infrastructure team from rage-quitting over a misconfigured VLAN.You know how to coax a stubborn router back to life without yelling at it (too much), and when you hear the phrase "broadcast storm," you don't panic-you just sigh, roll up your sleeves, and fix it. You might even have a favorite network topology diagram, and that's okay. We don't judge here. We've all named our switches something we wouldn't want in the audit logs.You won't be in the server room wiring things up (we've got boots-on-the-ground folks for that), but you'll be the person designing, leading, and managing how it all talks to each other across our infrastructure-so nothing catches fire (metaphorically). If you've got a soft spot for clean configs, high uptime, and turning chaos into something that actually scales, keep reading.Wage:Up to $185,000/yearBenefits:100% employer-paid medical, dental and vision for employeesAnnual review with raise option22 days Paid Time Off accrued annually, and 4 holidays After 3 years, PTO increases to 29 days.
