The Role

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer at QuickNode, you’ll play a pivotal role in architecting, developing, and implementing our next-generation infrastructure platforms across both private and public clouds.

• Research, architect, and deploy complex infrastructure systems across bare-metal servers, hypervisors, orchestrators, virtual machines, and containerized environments.

• Design and implement automation using Infrastructure-as-Code and Configuration Management principles (Terraform, Ansible, Consul) to ensure reproducibility, speed, and consistency in infrastructure deployment.

• Establish and maintain infrastructure standards, documentation, and architecture diagrams to support scale, reliability, and compliance across environments.

• Partner with Technical Operations, CloudOps, and Platform teams to ensure smooth integration of systems, improve deployment efficiency, and enhance observability.

• Optimize resource allocation and infrastructure cost efficiency while maintaining performance and uptime goals.

• Continuously improve resilience and scalability through proactive capacity planning, disaster recovery testing, and infrastructure modernization initiatives.

What You’ll Bring

• Minimum 5 years of experience in Systems Administration, Datacenter Operations, or Infrastructure Engineering, with deep expertise in Linux/Unix systems

• Proven success designing and managing hybrid cloud and traditional infrastructure platforms at scale (bare-metal, virtualized, and cloud-native).

• Hands-on experience with automation, configuration management, and CI/CD tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Consul, and Jenkins.

• Proficiency with observability and monitoring platforms (Grafana, ELK, VictoriaMetrics, DataDog).

• Programming experience in one or more languages such as Python, Go, or JavaScript.

• Strong understanding of infrastructure architecture principles — scalability, redundancy, fault tolerance, and cost optimization.

• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and networking fundamentals across cloud and datacenter environments.

• A proactive, analytical mindset and the ability to deliver under pressure while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and reliability.

• Excellent communication and documentation skills to facilitate alignment across cross-functional engineering teams.
