The role provides hands-on hosting expertise, validates application and infrastructure requirements, determines future-state hosting, sizes compute resources, develops cost models, supports storage discovery and strategy, and aligns cloud ownership with network and platform teams.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the embedded hosting subject matter expert fielding day-to-day technical questions from application owners and workstream leads
- Validate and reconcile vendor-supplied technical documentation against actual infrastructure and hosting requirements, flagging gaps or inaccuracies
- Determine appropriate future-state hosting for each application in coordination with data ownership and identity decisions
- Represent hosting in cross-workstream planning as the program moves from technical design into platform readiness
- Right-size compute resources at the workload level as part of future-state hosting decisions, translating application requirements into concrete instance and resource specifications
- Build total cost of ownership models for hosting options to support platform and vendor ownership decisions
- Participate in storage discovery analysis (Diskover or similar tooling), helping scope the analysis toward attached storage requirements that matter for migration planning
- Support storage strategy for a research computing environment as a track distinct from general enterprise IT, including clarifying ownership between cloud platform teams and research/enterprise stakeholders
- Track open scope questions on existing storage platforms as part of the discovery process
- Help determine the right organizational owner for cloud-hosted workloads and vendor relationships where ownership is not yet settled
- Partner with the network team to ensure network design decisions stay consistent with hosting and storage requirements
Skills
- 5+ years in cloud infrastructure or hosting engineering roles, with direct AWS and/or Azure experience
- Experience with enterprise storage platforms and migration tooling (NetApp, Isilon, or similar); storage discovery tooling experience a plus
- Experience right-sizing compute workloads and building TCO or cost models to support cloud hosting decisions
- Track record working directly with application owners to validate technical requirements, including in environments with incomplete or inconsistent source documentation
- Healthcare or other regulated-industry infrastructure experience strongly preferred
