Job Description Summary

The Hands-on Infrastructure Engineering Team Lead is an experienced, hands-on role, critical to enabling R&D and the successful development of our Molecular Imaging scanner products within the Engineering organization. The role provides technical ownership of on-prem engineering infrastructure and services—primarily Linux-based, alongside Windows platforms—including servers, virtualization, enterprise storage, backup and restore, networking, physical data center operations, engineering tools, and software licensing, as well as additional activities required to support engineering workflows and productivity.
In addition to hands-on responsibilities, this role leads a small engineering infrastructure team and owns day-to-day work intake and execution: prioritization across projects/incidents/requests, task assignment and delivery tracking, continuous improvement, and team development. The role will also initiate and lead infrastructure projects, coordinating stakeholders to deliver measurable improvements in reliability, performance, quality, and engineering productivity.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Own on-prem engineering infrastructure (Linux-first): install, configure, operate, troubleshoot, and continuously improve servers (physical/virtual) across Linux and Windows (Windows primarily clients and some servers).
• Manage virtualization platforms (VMware/ESXi and/or KVM), ensuring stability, performance, scalability, and lifecycle upgrades.
• Manage enterprise storage and backup/restore services to ensure availability, recoverability, performance, and capacity planning (including restore readiness).
• Own monitoring/observability for infrastructure and services (alerting, dashboards, proactive detection) and drive measurable improvements in reliability, performance, and quality.
• Support engineering infrastructure networking needs, including basic network operations and troubleshooting (e.g., VLANs, DNS/DHCP), and coordination with network teams.
• Install, configure, and support engineering tools and shared services (e.g., CI/build infrastructure, source control services, containers, remote access).
• Support engineering development workflows and environments; improve throughput, stability, and user experience.
• Lead resolution of complex infrastructure incidents and escalations; perform root-cause analysis; drive corrective and preventive actions (post-incident reviews, runbooks, continuous improvement).
• Drive modernization, standardization, and automation (scripting, templates, configuration approaches, documentation) to reduce manual effort and improve service reliability.
• Initiate and lead infrastructure projects, coordinating stakeholders to deliver improvements in engineering productivity, performance, and reliability.
• Coordinate and perform occasional physical data center activities as needed (racking/cabling, power checks, basic hardware troubleshooting, vendor follow-up).
• Implement baseline hardening and patch/lifecycle practices in collaboration with IT/Security to deliver secure and compliant infrastructure services.
• Lead the team’s day-to-day execution: intake/triage, prioritization across projects/issues/incidents, task assignment, delivery tracking, and stakeholder updates.
• Mentor and develop team members through onboarding, coaching, feedback, and knowledge sharing; establish operational standards and best practices.
• Own planning activities: roadmap, capacity planning, lifecycle management, upgrades, and risk mitigation.
• Build and manage infrastructure and software licensing budgets for the infrastructure team and engineering teams; lead procurement, renewals, and vendor engagement (requirements, quotes, purchasing), and drive cost optimization.
• Collaborate with Engineering, IT, Security, and Procurement to deliver secure, compliant, and reliable infrastructure services.

Required Qualifications

Education / training

• Preferred: B.Sc. in Computer Science / Software Engineering / Computer Engineering (or similar) from an accredited institution.
• Equivalent accepted: Practical Engineer (הנדסאי) and/or graduates of military technology units (IDF) and/or relevant professional courses/certifications, with proven hands-on experience in enterprise infrastructure.

Hands-on technical

• Strong, hands-on experience administering Linux in enterprise/on-prem environments.
• Working experience with Windows administration (primarily clients and some servers).
• Hands-on experience operating production virtualization environments (VMware/ESXi and/or KVM).
• Experience with enterprise storage and backup/restore (SAN/NAS concepts, availability, performance, capacity planning, and restore readiness).
• Experience with monitoring/observability and using it to drive proactive reliability/performance improvements.
• Scripting/automation skills (e.g., Bash/Python/PowerShell or similar) with a mindset of standardization and reducing manual work.
• Strong hands-on troubleshooting across infrastructure and services (systematic diagnosis, log/metrics analysis, restoring service under pressure).
• Hands-on experience with basic network operations and troubleshooting (e.g., DNS/DHCP/connectivity, routing basics, VLANs), including coordination with network teams when needed.
• Experience with shared file services (e.g., NFS/SMB) and identity/directory services (e.g., Active Directory/LDAP/NIS).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and a service-oriented approach to supporting engineering users.

Team leadership / ownership

• Proven experience leading a technical team or serving as a hands-on team lead with clear ownership (prioritization, task assignment, delivery tracking, stakeholder updates).
• Lead incident management practices, including major incident coordination, post-incident reviews, runbooks, and continuous improvement.
• Ability to plan and execute infrastructure work across projects and operational needs (capacity, upgrades, lifecycle, risk mitigation).

Desired Skills

• Experience supporting R&D/engineering environments and toolchains (e.g., build/CI infrastructure, developer enablement tools, containers, remote access, monitoring).
• Experience driving modernization and automation at scale (standard images/templates, configuration approaches, monitoring/alerting maturity, documentation/runbooks).
• Experience leading infrastructure projects (requirements, design, rollout planning, stakeholder coordination).
• Budget ownership experience (forecasting, renewals, vendor management) and familiarity with procurement processes.
• Familiarity with security and compliance practices for on-prem infrastructure (hardening, access controls, auditability) in collaboration with Security/IT.
• Relevant certifications/training (Linux/VMware/Microsoft/Storage/Network/Cloud) are an advantage.
