DevOps Engineer I – Infrastructure & AutomationWe are seeking a DevOps Engineer I to join a hybrid operational team supportingboth Windows Server Infrastructure and Security Administration functions. Thisrole is ideal for an early-career engineer who enjoys solving infrastructureproblems through automation, scripting, and AI-assisted development ratherthan repetitive ticket handling.This is not a traditional “close tickets and move on” operations role. The idealcandidate will think critically about root causes, identify recurring operationalpain points, and build sustainable solutions that improve reliability, security, andoperational efficiency across the environment.You will work closely with senior infrastructure and security engineers whilegaining hands-on experience in enterprise server operations, automation,monitoring, compliance, and incident response. After onboarding and training,this role will participate in the team’s on-call rotation.What You’ll Do Support enterprise Windows Server infrastructure and related operationalServices Assist with administration of security platforms, controls, and operationalprocessesTroubleshoot infrastructure, authentication, automation, and operationalissues Develop automation, scripts, and operational tooling to reduce manualeffort and permanently resolve recurring issues Use AI-assisted tooling to accelerate research, troubleshooting, and solutiondevelopment Participate in patching, compliance, monitoring, and operationalmaintenance activities Contribute to operational documentation, runbooks, and processstandardization Assist with incident response and participate in an on-call support rotationafter training Collaborate across infrastructure, security, and operations teamsRequired QualificationsTechnical Experience 1–3 years of experience in systems administration, DevOps, infrastructuresupport, or IT operations, or an equivalent combination of technicaleducation, certifications, internships, military experience, and hands-onproject work Fundamental understanding of Windows Server administration Experience with scripting or automation languages such as PowerShell,Python, or Bash Ability to leverage AI-assisted tools for scripting, automation, andoperational problem-solving Familiarity with Active Directory concepts and identity management Basic understanding of networking concepts (DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP,certificates, firewalls) Experience troubleshooting server or infrastructure issues in productionenvironments Familiarity with monitoring, logging, or ticketing systems Understanding of security best practices for infrastructure operationsTechnical Mindset Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills Ability to research unfamiliar technologies independently Interest in automation and infrastructure-as-code concepts Desire to solve root causes rather than repeatedly addressing symptoms Willingness to learn enterprise operational and security processesProfessional Skills Strong written and verbal communication skills Ability to work independently while collaborating within a team Comfortable operating in a fast-paced enterprise environment Willingness to participate in an after-hours on-call rotation after trainingPreferred / Nice-to-Have Qualifications Experience with enterprise automation platforms or orchestration tools Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines or DevOps tooling Experience with virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, etc.) Exposure to cloud platforms such as Azure or AWS Experience with configuration management tools Familiarity with endpoint security, vulnerability management, orcompliance tooling Basic Linux administration experience Experience with REST APIs and automation integrations Exposure to Git or version control systems Understanding of infrastructure monitoring and observability platforms Experience using generative AI tools to create scripts, automate workflows,or accelerate operational tasks Security certifications or Microsoft certifications are a plusWhat Success Looks Like Automate repetitive operational tasks Reduce recurring incidents through engineering improvements Continuously improve operational processes and documentation Learn quickly and adapt across infrastructure and security domains Become a trusted contributor during operational incidents and on-callevents Use modern tooling and AI capabilities to increase team efficiency andreliabilityIdeal Candidate ProfileThe ideal candidate is motivated by solving problems permanently instead ofrepeatedly responding to the same operational issues. This person naturallygravitates toward automation, scripting, process improvement, and root-causeanalysis.Success in this role requires curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to continuouslylearn across infrastructure, security, and operational disciplines. Strongcandidates will actively leverage AI-assisted tools to improve efficiency, accelerate, research, and develop scalable operational solutions while maintaining sound engineering judgment and accountability
