Why we need this role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Technical Subject Matter Expert (SME) to provide deep technical expertise across Enterprise Infrastructure Services. This role focuses on Windows Server, VDI, Citrix, Microsoft 365, and cloud platforms (Azure and GCP). The SME will act as a trusted advisor and hands-on technical authority, ensuring secure architecture, operational excellence, and driving automation and standardization initiatives to optimize cost and efficiency. The successful candidate will take ownership of technical solutions and assume responsibility for delivering outcomes that meet business objectives.

• Provide advanced troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and resolution for complex incidents.
• Define and enforce best practices for infrastructure design, security, and governance.
• Drive automation and Infrastructure-as-Code initiatives for repeatable, secure deployments.
• Take ownership of technical deliverables and ensure successful implementation of solutions.
Infrastructure Operations Support
• Ensure operational stability and performance of Windows servers, Citrix environments, VDI platforms, and Microsoft 365 services.
• Maintain strong security posture and compliance across Azure and GCP environments.
• Collaborate with virtualization, storage, and networking teams to ensure integrated solutions.
• Assume responsibility for delivering outcomes aligned with business and security requirements.
Project & Architecture Contribution
• Contribute to infrastructure projects from design through implementation.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, secure, and resilient solutions.
• Provide technical input for strategic roadmaps and architecture decisions.
On-call
• Participate in the Infrastructure Operations on-call rota to provide out-of-hours support for priority incidents.
