IT Infrastructure & Cloud Operations Engineer

Head Office - Pretoria Full-time Posted August 12, 2026

We’re looking for a hands-on IT Infrastructure & Cloud Operations Engineer to join Cohesion

X.

We’re an AI software company with a team of around 30 people, and this role sits between internal IT operations and cloud/Dev Ops support. This is not a traditional helpdesk role. We’re looking for someone who can take ownership of infrastructure tasks end to end - from setting up a new employee laptop to provisioning a customer cloud environment.

Internal IT (~25%)

Microsoft 365, Entra  user administration

Intune and endpoint management

Laptop setup, formatting, onboarding and offboarding

Endpoint security, patching and access control

Office networking, Wi-Fi and VPN

IT policies, asset management and general technical support

Provisioning Windows and Linux VMs

AWS and Azure resource administration

Setting up development, staging and customer environments

Cloudflare, DNS, SSL/TLS and tunnels

Azure Dev Ops and CI/CD pipeline support

Deployment and infrastructure troubleshooting

Access, credentials and secrets management

Docker and related infrastructure tooling

Ideally 2–5 years of practical IT infrastructure, systems administration, cloud or Dev Ops experience.

You should be comfortable with:

Microsoft 365 and Entra

Windows and Linux

Networking, DNS, VPNs and firewalls

Git and software deployment concepts

Troubleshooting infrastructure problems independently

Experience with
Intune, Cloudflare, Azure Dev Ops, Docker, Power Shell/Bash, Terraform or CI/CD pipelines would be a strong advantage.

You don’t need to know every technology on day one.

We’re looking for someone with strong fundamentals who enjoys figuring things out, takes ownership and wants to grow deeper into cloud infrastructure and Dev Ops.

The kind of person who will do well here — you like being given a problem such as:

“Set up this new developer.”

“Provision an environment for this application.”

“Get this domain and Cloudflare configuration working.”

“Why did this deployment fail?”

…and taking responsibility for getting it sorted properly.
