Hi ,

Hope you are doing well

Please find the Job Description (JD) below.

Infrastructure Architect

Location: Dallas, TX or Nashville, TN or NY (preferred), Remote also open.

Healthcare domain recent exp must.

About the Role We are seeking an experienced Infrastructure Architect/Leader to lead the design and modernization of complex on-premises and hybrid infrastructure environments. This is an infrastructure architecture role first and a cloud role second. Our environment is currently 90-95% on-premises, and we need an architect with deep, current expertise across compute, storage, virtualization, connectivity, VDI, resilience, and observability who can guide us through complex infrastructure migrations and shape a practical modernization roadmap. This role is not a fit for candidates whose experience is primarily cloud-native or AWS-centric. We need someone who has spent real time in the data center, understands legacy and hybrid systems at a deep technical level, and can bring cloud into the architecture as one part of a broader modernization strategy, not the starting point. The role is weighted roughly 80% on-premises/hybrid infrastructure architecture and 20% AWS platform architecture, with a focus on serverless services supporting our ongoing modernization work.

What You Will Do

Architect and evolve infrastructure across compute, storage, virtualization, network connectivity, VDI, resilience/DR, and observability/instrumentation

Assess current-state on-premises and hybrid infrastructure and identify modernization opportunities grounded in business and technical constraints

Lead and support complex infrastructure migrations, including data center consolidations, platform upgrades, and phased on-premises-to-hybrid transitions

Develop infrastructure roadmaps and modernization strategies that sequence change realistically across legacy, hybrid, and cloud components

Define target-state architecture that incorporates cloud where it adds value, without treating cloud migration as the default outcome

Design and support AWS serverless components (e.g., Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, EventBridge) as part of the hybrid architecture, representing roughly 20% of the role

Establish standards for resilience, high availability, and disaster recovery across infrastructure domains

Build and mature observability and instrumentation practices across the infrastructure stack

Partner with security, network, and platform teams to ensure infrastructure designs meet compliance, performance, and reliability requirements

Act as a technical advisor to senior leadership, translating infrastructure decisions into business risk, cost, and timeline terms

Influence and align internal engineering teams and external service providers around a common infrastructure strategy

Document architecture decisions, standards, and reference designs for use across teams What You Bring

10+ years of infrastructure architecture experience, with substantial recent work in on-premises and hybrid environments, not solely cloud-native platforms

Deep working knowledge of compute, storage (SAN/NAS), virtualization platforms (VMware or equivalent), network connectivity, and VDI technologies

Demonstrated experience leading or supporting large, complex infrastructure migrations, ideally including data center or mainframe-adjacent environments

Strong understanding of resilience engineering, including high availability design and disaster recovery planning

Experience building or maturing observability and instrumentation capabilities across infrastructure layers

Working AWS platform architecture experience, particularly serverless services (Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, EventBridge, SQS/SNS), and how they integrate into a broader hybrid architecture

Proven ability to develop infrastructure roadmaps and modernization strategies that account for legacy constraints

Strong technical leadership skills, with a track record of influencing decisions across internal teams, external service providers, and senior stakeholders Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present infrastructure strategy to both technical and executive audiences Preferred Qualifications

Experience in healthcare IT or another regulated industry with complex compliance requirements

Experience with mainframe or legacy platform environments as part of a modernization initiative

Relevant infrastructure or cloud certifications (e.g., VMware, ITIL, AWS/Azure architecture certifications)

Experience working with managed service providers or outsourced infrastructure partners
