About this role
Reports to: Manager, IT Systems Administration
Contract: Permanent, Full-time
Schedule: Shift aligning to approximately 4 5 hours of overlap with US Central Time daily; off-hours availability required for monthly maintenance windows and semi-annual DR tests
Purpose of the Role
Newell Brands is seeking a highly skilled Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join our Cloud Infrastructure team. This is a senior-level, hands-on role responsible for designing, securing, and operating cloud infrastructure across a multi-cloud environment that spans Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, as well as on-premises VMware ESXi infrastructure.
While Microsoft Azure is the primary platform today, this role requires a strong multi-cloud mindset and the ability to operate effectively across cloud providers as the organizations footprint evolves. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in cloud security, networking, and complex troubleshooting, and can work independently with minimal direction in a globally distributed team. This role requires a work schedule providing approximately 4 5 hours of daily overlap with US Central Time, as well as availability outside normal hours for scheduled monthly maintenance windows and semi-annual disaster recovery (DR) tests. Experience with VMware technologies, including VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), is a valued plus.

- Support semi-annual disaster recovery (DR) tests, including failover validation, documentation, and post-test reporting
- Contribute to DR planning and runbook development to ensure recovery procedures remain current and tested across cloud environments
On-Premises Collaboration
- Support VMware ESXi and on-premises virtualization environments as needed
