• Support and contribute to infrastructure and cloud projects across Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, working alongside the technology team. 

• Assist with Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) projects, including setup, troubleshooting, and ongoing operations. 

• Improve and mature device management processes using Microsoft Intune (MDM) — app deployment, patching, and endpoint policies. 

• Provide visibility into infrastructure costs and help identify optimization opportunities. 

• Produce clear, up-to-date documentation for infrastructure systems and processes. 

• Deliver training to the IT support team to reduce unnecessary escalations to Infrastructure.

• Explore and implement AI-driven tools and automation within infrastructure operations. 

• Support the deployment, hosting, and monitoring of AI-powered applications on our infrastructure. 

• Contribute to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) initiatives, using tools such as Bicep or Terraform. 

• Collaborate with the Security team on the design and implementation of security policies and controls. 

 

What We're Looking For 

• 7+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure/cloud engineering roles. 

• Solid, production-level experience with Microsoft Azure. 

• Experience with Active Directory (user management, GPOs) and Entra ID (hybrid identity, Entra Connect). 

• Proficiency in scripting/automation using PowerShell and/or Python. 

• Solid hands-on experience managing and maintaining virtualization environments (Nutanix, VMWare, Citrix, Hyper-V) with strong focus in Virtual Desktop infrastructure (VMWare Horizon, Azure AVD, Citrix). 

• Experience with backup and disaster recovery. 

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Intune (MDM). App deployment, patch management, endpoint policies. 

• Experience working with IT ticketing systems (e.g. Freshservice, ServiceNow, or similar). 

• Strong communication skills, being able to clearly translate technicisms to stakeholders. 

• Comfortable working async in a distributed, remote-first environment. 

Nice-to-have 
 

• Experience with Nerdio. 

• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Bicep or Terraform) and Azure DevOps (repos, pipelines) 

• Familiarity with Azure Monitor and Microsoft Defender for Cloud. 
• Hands-on experience using AI tools in a technical context. 
• Relevant certifications (e.g. AZ-104, AZ-140, or similar).
