Senior Associate, Infrastructure Specialist

zing issues and technical challenges, proposing solutions, and performing system testing, modification, automation, and integration. Driving long-term strategic planning and operational execution for IT infrastructure. Since the role is not limited to a specific platform, a broad understanding of diverse technologies is essential. That also means you'll gain unique experiences and growth opportunities that are hard to find elsewhere.

You'll be involved from the early stages of projects-assessing feasibility, identifying technical and timeline risks, and helping shape the path forward. Because you'll be addressing both client expectations and internal challenges, your contributions will be highly visible and widely recognized. In fact, one of the most telling signs of success in this role is when clients return and specifically request to work with the same specialist again. That's the kind of impact you can have.

This is a project-based role where you'll be deeply involved throughout the project lifecycle, working closely with architects, technicians, and project managers. No matter your current technical level or future career goals, you'll find opportunities to grow-and teammates who will support you along the way. Boredom? Not a chance.
