Infrastructure Manager - Mesa Hybrid

Before we opened Strive Pharmacy we were unsatisfied with the current state of the pharmaceutical industry. Most of the current pharmaceuticals only offer a one size fits all approach and often come with unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects. We found that through compounding we can offer a much more personalized solution to medicine.

Through this we have been able to help patients get the results they are seeking for their personal needs. After years of working for corporate chains we took the risk and opened Strive Pharmacy. We are dedicated to providing a better experience for each customer and clinic that we work with. Come see the Strive difference.

The Infrastructure Manager is a senior leadership position responsible for the design, deployment, and management of the core hardware and software infrastructure that supports our compounding pharmacy operations. This is a hands-on management role; the successful candidate must be capable of leading a team of engineers while simultaneously architecting and implementing complex server and network projects. The Infrastructure Manager is the primary driver of our hardware consolidation strategy, moving the organization toward a fully self-hosted environment using Proxmox VE, Arista EOS, and OPNsense to ensure total control over our tooling and data.

• →Hands-on Project Architecture: Lead the design and implementation of new builds and network upgrades. Personally engage in the configuration of Proxmox clusters, Arista network fabrics, and firewall rules.
• →Infrastructure Strategy: Develop long-term infrastructure roadmaps focused on performance, redundancy, and data sovereignty. Select hardware and software that avoid vendor lock-in and "paperweight" licensing models.
• →Compliance and Best Practices: Ensure all infrastructure follows industry standards and regulatory requirements (FDA, DEA, HIPAA, PCI, cGMP). Implement rigorous security hardening and audit logging.
• →Automation and Tooling: Drive the development of infrastructure automation scripts using Python, Go, and Bash. Oversee the implementation of monitoring and alerting systems.
• →Documentation Mastery: Maintain meticulous documentation of all system architectures, network diagrams, and SOPs.

• 10+ years of experience in IT infrastructure and network engineering.
• Mastery of Proxmox VE, including ZFS storage layouts, HA clustering, and ceph integration.
• Deep expertise in routing and switching and network automation.
• Advanced knowledge of OPNsense firewalls, HAProxy, VPNs (WireGuard and overlay), and Suricata.
