Your Moneris Career – The Opportunity

Join the Platform Services and Systems Administration team as a hands-on Infrastructure Engineer helping design, standardize, automate, and modernize core infrastructure platforms across a large-scale hybrid enterprise environment.

This role sits at the center of Moneris' on-premises modernization effort — evolving legacy compute, storage, and virtualization platforms (VMware vSphere, Nutanix AHV, Dell SAN/NAS/HCI) toward a standardized, automated, and secure operating model. You will build reusable automation in Red Hat Ansible, Terraform, Python, Bash, PowerShell, and GitHub, harden Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Windows Server images to Center for Internet Security (CIS), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) baselines, and act as a Level 3 subject matter expert (SME) across compute, storage, virtualization, and identity layers. Partnering with System Administrators, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Information Security, Cloud Operations, and Infrastructure Architecture, you will drive the shift from click-ops to Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

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 Manager of Software Development

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.
