• Design secure, resilient, and scalable solutions that balance cloud adoption with hybrid operational requirements
• Build and maintain automation for provisioning, configuration, deployment, and operational support using infrastructure as code and scripting
• Engineer and support cloud services, virtual infrastructure, containers, and core platform services
• Troubleshoot platform issues and lead root cause analysis with an emphasis on reliability, observability, and continuous improvement
• Plan and support upgrades, patching, and lifecycle activities across hybrid environments in collaboration with operations, security, and application teams
• Standardize platform patterns and reduce manual effort through automation, orchestration, and repeatable engineering practices
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, recovery procedures, and implementation standards for cloud and hybrid platforms
• Partner with security teams to identify and mitigate risk across cloud and on‑prem services
• Support disaster recovery planning, testing, and response for business‑critical infrastructure services

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, MIS, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 3+ years supporting enterprise infrastructure, cloud platforms, or hybrid environments
• Experience with Azure cloud services and core platform capabilities across IaaS, PaaS, and identity services
• Experience with automation and scripting such as Power Shell, Python, Ansible, Terraform, or similar tools
• Experience with infrastructure as code, configuration management, and repeatable deployment practices
• Experience with Kubernetes, containers, or modern application platform technologies
• Familiarity with virtualization technologies such as VMware or Nutanix and their role in hybrid platform design
• Knowledge of Windows Server and/or Red Hat Enterprise Linux administration
• Experience with identity platforms such as Active Directory, LDAP, or Entra
• Understanding of networking fundamentals including DNS, DHCP, routing, switching, and connectivity across hybrid environments
• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem‑solving skills

• Experience with infrastructure automation, Dev Ops pipelines, monitoring, or cloud operations tooling
• Familiarity with VDI, load balancing, identity platforms, or other technologies that support hybrid end‑user and infrastructure services
• Experience in regulated, compliance‑driven, or mission‑critical environments
• Relevant certifications such as Azure, RHCE, Kubernetes, Terraform, or virtualization credentials

At ATC, our mission is to operate, maintain, and protect the electric grid. Our technology teams play a vital role in delivering secure, resilient, and modern platform services that enable reliable energy delivery. You’ll be part of a collaborative team advancing cloud adoption, automation, and engineering standardization while supporting the hybrid environments required for mission‑critical operations.
