We are working with a rapidly growing, acquisition-driven organization in the supply chain and manufacturing space that is investing heavily in modernizing its IT infrastructure.
Over the past several years, this company has expanded significantly through both organic growth and strategic M&A, creating a complex, global environment that spans nearly 20 locations, multiple data centers, and a growing Azure cloud footprint. This growth has created a need for strong, well-rounded infrastructure engineers who can operate across networking, systems, cloud, and security.
This is an opportunity to step into a senior-level role where you will not only work hands-on across a broad technology stack, but also help guide architecture decisions, support cybersecurity and compliance initiatives, and act as a technical leader within a lean, high-impact team.
If you enjoy wearing multiple hats, solving real business problems, and working in an environment where your input actually shapes the direction of the infrastructure, this is a role worth exploring.
This is a contract-to-hire position (target conversion ~3 months) based in Exton, PA, with a hybrid schedule (3 days onsite / 2 remote).
The Role You'll Play
As the Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you will serve as a key technical leader responsible for supporting and evolving a hybrid infrastructure environment across on-prem data centers and cloud platforms.
This role is intentionally broad, combining networking, systems, cloud, and security responsibilities, while also acting as a go-to resource for the team.
You will:
Support and maintain a global infrastructure spanning ~20 sites, including two data centers (Production and DR) and Azure cloud environments
Act as a senior technical resource and informal leader, providing guidance and mentorship to other engineers
Own and support LAN environments including switching, wireless access points, VLANs, and site networking (Layer 1–3 focus)
Manage and optimize VMware environments including vCenter, vSphere, vSAN, clustering, HA, and DRS
Administer and expand the Microsoft ecosystem, including Azure, M365, Entra ID, Intune, Defender, and Purview
Help drive GRC and cybersecurity initiatives, including DLP policies, compliance scoring, and security posture improvements
Partner with external providers supporting NOC, SOC, and SD-WAN, acting as the internal point of coordination
Support and enhance business continuity and disaster recovery processes (Veeam, Zerto)
Develop and maintain runbooks, incident response plans, and operational procedures
Contribute to infrastructure automation and continuous improvement initiatives
Collaborate with leadership on infrastructure strategy to support ongoing growth and M&A activity
Support emerging AI initiatives, including governance, security controls, and policy enforcement within tools like Copilot and other platforms
