IT Infrastructure Manager

Overview

Corporate Tools is looking to hire an IT Infrastructure Manager. What does that mean here? It means you're the one keeping our networks flowing, our packets behaving, and our infrastructure team from rage-quitting over a misconfigured VLAN.


You know how to coax a stubborn router back to life without yelling at it (too much), and when you hear the phrase "broadcast storm," you don't panic-you just sigh, roll up your sleeves, and fix it. You might even have a favorite network topology diagram, and that's okay. We don't judge here. We've all named our switches something we wouldn't want in the audit logs.


You won't be in the server room wiring things up (we've got boots-on-the-ground folks for that), but you'll be the person designing, leading, and managing how it all talks to each other across our infrastructure-so nothing catches fire (metaphorically). If you've got a soft spot for clean configs, high uptime, and turning chaos into something that actually scales, keep reading.

Wage


Up to $185,000 / year


Benefits

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental & vision Full coverage for employees - nothing comes out of your paycheck. Plus an annual review with a raise option.
• Time off that grows with you 22 days PTO + 4 holidays to start. After 3 years it bumps to 29 days, and after 5 years you move to flexible time off - not accrued, not capped. Take time off when you want.
• Parental leave & 401(k) match Paid parental leave, plus up to 6% company 401(k) matching with no vesting period - it's yours from day one.
• Quarterly allowance Spend it on whatever makes work better: a comfier remote setup, continuing-education classes, a plant for your desk, coffee for a coworker, a massage for yourself... really, whatever.
• No dumb perks (and a trail mix bar) No weekend dog-walking gimmicks that look cool but cost nothing because nobody uses them. We spend on benefits you'll actually use - an open-concept office, friendly coworkers, a creative environment, and yeah... a trail mix bar.
