Systems Engineer

Your Moneris Career – The Opportunity

Join the Platform Services and Systems Administration team as a hands-on Systems Engineer focused on defining, modernizing, and automating operating environment standards across Moneris' hybrid enterprise infrastructure. This new role supports broad Systems Infrastructure needs across virtualization, storage, backup and data protection, Active Directory, Windows and Linux administration, automation, and monitoring, with a primary focus on advancing standards, compliance, performance, capacity, and Infrastructure as Code practices.

You will help drive a meaningful shift from legacy click-ops and fragmented tooling to consistent, pipeline-based infrastructure delivery at scale. Working with peers in Systems Administration, Infrastructure Architecture, Networking, Security, and related domains, you will define how core platforms are built, hardened, tuned, deployed, and managed across Nutanix, VMware, and Azure. Your first major initiative will include updating operating system build standards aligned to NIST, CIS Benchmark Level 2, and PCI DSS hardening requirements, then creating Windows Server 2025 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 images for repeatable deployment across the estate. This is an engineering and standards role for someone who wants to influence how infrastructure operations evolve, not a day-to-day operations queue role.

Additional conditions:

Location: You will be based in our Toronto office, balancing in-office collaboration with remote flexibility.

Reporting Relationship: You will report to the Senior Manager, Systems Infrastructure

Posting Type: New Position

Salary Range: The expected base salary range for this role is $100,000 - $142,000

Total compensation may also include variable or discretionary incentive components, including but not limited to bonuses and commissions. Individual job offers are determined by various factors, including experience, education, skills, certifications, and other business needs.
