JOB DESCRIPTION:

At Alter Domus, we are looking for a Infrastructure & Cloud Engineer who gets things done.

You will be part of a team operating mission-critical environments in the financial services sector where uptime, speed, and precision are non-negotiable.

This is a hands-on role. You will be troubleshooting, building, improving, and maintaining infrastructure day to day, working under pressure, adapting quickly to change, and taking full ownership of the platforms you touch.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Operate, maintain, and continuously improve on-premises and cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure.

  • Work with container platforms: deploy, troubleshoot, and maintain Kubernetes and OpenShift workloads.
  • Enforce security controls across infrastructure - network segmentation, Zero Trust, IAM, PAM, MFA  and remediate vulnerabilities.
  • Automate repetitive operational tasks using scripting and IaC tools (Terraform, Ansible).
  • Monitor infrastructure health, respond to alerts, and drive proactive capacity and performance improvements.
  • Collaborate with architecture, security, and application teams to implement technical requirements correctly and on time.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience managing enterprise infrastructure in production environments.
  • Proven experience working in mission-critical, high-availability environments - financial services or similarly regulated sectors a strong plus.
  • Strong practical experience with AWS infrastructure: EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, CloudWatch you have built and fixed things there, not just read about them.
  • Solid working knowledge of Azure and familiarity with GCP.
  • Heavy hands-on experience with Citrix distributed environments, Nutanix HCI and VMware vSphere/ESXi.
  • Working knowledge of networking: VLANs, firewalls, load balancers, DNS, VPN, and hybrid connectivity.

  • Ability to work under pressure, prioritise competing demands, and make sound decisions fast.
  • Good-to-have scripting and automation: Bash, Python, PowerShell, Terraform, or Ansible.

Nice to Have

  • AWS Solutions Architect Associate/Professional or Azure Administrator certification.
  • Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) or VMware VCP.
  • Kubernetes CKA certification.
  • Experience with monitoring stacks: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Dynatrace, or similar.
  • Knowledge of ITIL practices applied in a real operational context.
  • Exposure to AIOps or AI-assisted monitoring tools.

Your Profile

  • Action-oriented - you don't wait to be told twice and you follow through. You see something to improve, get your hands on it.

  • Methodical but fast - you think before you act, but you act decisively.
  • Clear communicator, able to report status and progress to technical peers and managers alike.
  • Team player who shares knowledge and supports colleagues when things get tough.

Comfortable with change - you adapt quickly when priorities shift.
