Senior Infrastructure Engineer - Build Our Foundation
Location: Gurgaon, India (Hybrid)
Are you an engineer who loves building the rock-solid foundation that everything else runs on? Do you enjoy the challenge of weaving different technologies—Windows, Linux, on-prem, and cloud—into a single, powerful platform?
If you want to architect and own the core infrastructure of a global company, this role is for you.
Here is more of what you’ll get to do:
Our company is growing incredibly fast and is a leader in multiple areas. Your mission is to help design, build, and manage the core infrastructure that powers it all.

- You will own our resilience, implementing and managing complex backup, storage (SAN/NAS), and disaster recovery solutions.
- You will bridge the gap to the cloud, using your experience with public cloud platforms like AWS or Azure.
- You will be the expert, acting as an escalation point for critical issues and mentoring junior engineers.
You’ll thrive in this role if you have:
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a mixed mode (onsite, remote or hybrid) environment, including consistent use of video conferencing, collaboration tools, and proactive communication practices while maintaining a professional on-camera presence.
