IT Infrastructure & Cloud Operations Engineer
IT Infrastructure & Cloud Operations Engineer
Head Office - Pretoria Full-time Posted August 12, 2026
Role Purpose
We’re looking for a hands-on IT Infrastructure & Cloud Operations Engineer to join CohesionX.
We’re an AI software company with a team of around 30 people, and this role sits between internal IT operations and cloud/DevOps support. This is not a traditional helpdesk role. We’re looking for someone who can take ownership of infrastructure tasks end to end - from setting up a new employee laptop to provisioning a customer cloud environment.
What You’ll Own
Internal IT (~25%)
Microsoft 365, Entra ID and user administration
Intune and endpoint management
Laptop setup, formatting, onboarding and offboarding
Endpoint security, patching and access control
Office networking, Wi-Fi and VPN
IT policies, asset management and general technical support
Provisioning Windows and Linux VMs
AWS and Azure resource administration
Setting up development, staging and customer environments
Cloudflare, DNS, SSL/TLS and tunnels
Azure DevOps and CI/CD pipeline support
Deployment and infrastructure troubleshooting
Access, credentials and secrets management
Docker and related infrastructure tooling
Experience & Capability
Ideally 2–5 years of practical IT infrastructure, systems administration, cloud or DevOps experience.
You should be comfortable with:
Microsoft 365 and Entra ID
Windows and Linux
Networking, DNS, VPNs and firewalls
Git and software deployment concepts
Troubleshooting infrastructure problems independently
Experience with Intune, Cloudflare, Azure DevOps, Docker, PowerShell/Bash, Terraform or CI/CD pipelines would be a strong advantage.
You don’t need to know every technology on day one.
We’re looking for someone with strong fundamentals who enjoys figuring things out, takes ownership and wants to grow deeper into cloud infrastructure and DevOps.
The kind of person who will do well here — you like being given a problem such as:
“Set up this new developer.”
“Provision an environment for this application.”
“Get this domain and Cloudflare configuration working.”
“Why did this deployment fail?”
…and taking responsibility for getting it sorted properly.
