Senior Infrastructure Engineer- Secure Developer Platforms (Azure/VDI)

Oteemo is an industry-leading technology consulting firm at the forefront of AI-driven, cloud native, enterprise DevSecOps transformation. We build intelligent, automated, secure systems for organizations tackling their toughest technical and business challenges and we're pushing the boundaries of what AI, generative AI, and agentic systems can do in production, not just in theory. Join us and you'll work alongside recognized experts on cutting-edge projects that blend cloud native architecture, extreme automation, and AI/ML at the core. We foster a dynamic, inclusive, and collaborative culture built on continuous learning, where your ideas shape real outcomes for our clients. If you're passionate about building what's next in AI and cloud technology and want to do it with a team that sets the standard rather than follows it, Oteemo is where you belong.

We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to build a secure, self-service developer sandbox inside a regulated energy utility's Azure tenant. You'll deliver non-persistent, streamed desktops on Azure Virtual Desktop and Omnissa Horizon that rebuild clean at every log off, keep developers' work, and send all traffic through TLS-inspected egress while still booting in under a minute. You'll own the stack from landing zone to golden image. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Non-Persistent Desktops: Stand up pooled AVD and Omnissa Horizon (instant clone) desktops streamed over HTTPS 443; run the head-to-head POC that selects the platform; persist developer state with FSLogix or Dynamic Environment Manager and App Volumes. 

• Landing Zone & Inspected Egress: Build hub-and-spoke VNets segmented from production, with forced-tunnel egress through Azure Firewall Premium (TLS inspection, IDPS), private endpoints, and DNS; tune inspection so Git, package managers, GitHub Copilot, and AI/MCP endpoints keep working. 

• Golden Image & Endpoint Controls: Own the Azure Image Builder or Packer pipeline to Azure Compute Gallery (build, patch, CIS-harden, scan, publish); keep CarbonBlack App Control allow-lists and BeyondTrust EPM working across rebuilds. 

• Identity, Guardrails & Logging: Enforce guardrails as code with Azure Policy and Terraform or Bicep; wire a non-production identity tenant, per-project RBAC, and Key Vault; forward firewall, desktop, and provisioning logs to Sentinel or Splunk. 

• Self-Service, AI Agents & Handover: Build ephemeral resource templates with TTL and an orphaned-resource reaper; expose image pipelines so AXIOM AI agents can propose promotions that humans approve; deliver architecture, runbooks, and a support model. 

• Bachelor's degree in a related field (or equivalent practical experience). 

• 8+ years in infrastructure or platform engineering, including 4+ years of hands-on Azure in an enterprise or regulated environment. 

• Virtual Desktop: Delivered at least one production AVD or Omnissa / VMware Horizon deployment, including non-persistent pools, image lifecycle, and FSLogix or DEM / App Volumes at scale. 

• Azure Networking: Deep experience with VNets, UDRs, Azure Firewall (Premium TLS inspection preferred), Private Link, DNS, and NSGs, including troubleshooting broken TLS chains. 

• IaC & Identity: Expert Terraform or Bicep run through CI/CD; Packer or Azure Image Builder; Entra ID, RBAC, PIM, managed identities, Key Vault, and Azure Policy. 

• Working knowledge of Windows 11 multi-session hardening and Linux for container workloads; clear writer who can get a design approved by a Cyber Risk reviewer. 

Nice to Have / Preferred Qualifications:

• Certifications: Azure: AZ-104, AZ-700, AZ-140, AZ-305; Terraform Associate; VCP-DTM. 

• Tuning CarbonBlack App Control, BeyondTrust EPM, CrowdStrike, or Defender for Endpoint for developer workloads. 

We Value:

• Drive: Passion and energy to implement quality technical solutions. Self-motivation and intellectual curiosity
• Commitment to Quality: Passion to conceive and produce world-class solutions that drive real-world value for the customer
• Customer Focus: Consultative approach to solving problems for customers. Expectations management.
