DevOps Engineer I – Infrastructure & Automation. We are seeking a DevOps Engineer I to join a hybrid operational team supportingboth Windows Server Infrastructure and Security Administration functions. Thisrole is ideal for an early-career engineer who enjoys solving infrastructureproblems through automation, scripting, and AI-assisted development ratherthan repetitive ticket handling. This is not a traditional “close tickets and move on” operations role. The idealcandidate will think critically about root causes, identify recurring operationalpain points, and build sustainable solutions that improve reliability, security, andoperational efficiency across the environment. You will work closely with senior infrastructure and security engineers whilegaining hands-on experience in enterprise server operations, automation,monitoring, compliance, and incident response. After onboarding and training,this role will participate in the team’s on-call rotation. What You’ll Do - Support enterprise Windows Server infrastructure and related operational. Services - Assist with administration of security platforms, controls, and operationalprocesses. Troubleshoot infrastructure, authentication, automation, and operationalissues - Develop automation, scripts, and operational tooling to reduce manualeffort and permanently resolve recurring issues - Use AI-assisted tooling to accelerate research, troubleshooting, and solutiondevelopment - Participate in patching, compliance, monitoring, and operationalmaintenance activities - Contribute to operational documentation, runbooks, and processstandardization - Assist with incident response and participate in an on-call support rotationafter training - Collaborate across infrastructure, security, and operations teams. Required Qualifications. Technical Experience - 1–3 years of experience in systems administration, DevOps, infrastructuresupport, or IT operations, or an equivalent combination of technicaleducation, certifications, internships, military experience, and hands-onproject work - Fundamental understanding of Windows Server administration - Experience with scripting or automation languages such as PowerShell,Python, or Bash - Ability to leverage AI-assisted tools for scripting, automation, andoperational problem-solving - Familiarity with Active Directory concepts and identity management - Basic understanding of networking concepts (DNS, DHCP, TCP/ IP,certificates, firewalls) - Experience troubleshooting server or infrastructure issues in productionenvironments - Familiarity with monitoring, logging, or ticketing systems - Understanding of security best practices for infrastructure operations.
