Kick-start your career with us by being recognized for your past work experience and encouraged to develop your future skills!

As a Principal Systems and Cloud Infrastructure Administrator at Rheinmetall Canada, your main challenge will be to design the target architecture of our hybrid IT environment and bring it to life concretely with the team. This is a hands-on role: about half of your time will be spent on design, planning, and technological choices, and the other half on implementation, configuration, and troubleshooting, alongside our three administrators (systems, senior systems, and network).

Here will be your main responsibilities:

• Participate in the design of the target architecture for the hybrid IT infrastructure (on-premise and Azure/AWS cloud) and directly participate in its implementation.
• Plan and carry out the migration of services to the cloud, taking into account data residency and sovereignty constraints.
• Define architecture standards and baseline configurations, then apply them concretely in environments with systems and network administrators.
• Evaluate proposed solutions, carry out proof of concepts, and recommend technical orientations.
• Design and implement hybrid identity, connectivity (ExpressRoute, VPN), and segmentation solutions, integrating security-by-design principles (Zero Trust, least privilege).
• Contribute to the technical aspect of compliance programs as well as business continuity and recovery plans.
• Work on a daily basis with systems and network administrators: configuration, deployment, testing, troubleshooting, and production release of solutions.
• Take charge of complex technical problem resolution and participate in planned interventions, including occasionally outside normal hours during production deployments.
• Design and maintain development environments and the DevSecOps chain used by engineering teams.
• Document configurations, procedures, and architecture diagrams, and ensure they are kept up to date.
• Perform active technological monitoring and propose directions for the evolution of the IT platform.

The qualifications you should possess:

• Degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field.
• 7 to 10 years of IT experience, including at least 3 years in cloud infrastructure or solutions administration, with sustained hands-on experience.
• Demonstrated expertise in Azure (AZ-305 or equivalent) and AWS (AWS Certified Solutions Architect or equivalent) — preferred.
• Experience in hybrid infrastructure design and cloud migration in a regulated context.
• Knowledge of CMMC, CP-CSC, EIPA requirements and data sovereignty constraints for controlled goods.
• Cloud security skills (CSPM, Zero Trust, Defender for Cloud), an asset.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and technical documentation skills.
• Bilingual (French/English).*
