A company in Infocity, Chandrasekharpur, Bhubaneswar is hiring a Junior IT Infrastructure Engineer for a full-time, on-site role. The position pays INR 41,000 a month.
Skills needed
This role requires a solid foundation in networking, server administration, and virtualization, along with strong troubleshooting skills. You won't be expected to know everything when you walk in, but you should be comfortable working through a problem methodically rather than guessing at fixes.
A few things beyond that baseline would help an application:
- Basic certification or coursework in Linux or Windows Server administration
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure fundamentals, even from self-study or a course
- Simple scripting ability for automating repetitive checks
- Some exposure to hardware troubleshooting, from a lab environment or a personal project
What you'd be doing
- Maintain servers and assist with routine administration tasks under senior engineer guidance
- Configure and support network devices, including switches and routers
- Help manage the virtualization environment, including basic VM provisioning and monitoring
- Troubleshoot infrastructure issues as they come up, escalating anything beyond your current experience level
- Monitor server and network uptime, flagging warning signs before they become outages
One issue a junior engineer on this team recently helped resolve: a server kept dropping off the network intermittently, and it turned out to be a duplex mismatch between the server's network interface and the switch port it connected to, something that only showed up under heavier traffic loads. Finding it meant comparing configuration settings on both ends rather than assuming the problem was the server itself. That kind of methodical checking is exactly what this role is meant to build.
Qualifications and experience
A bachelor's degree is required. For this entry-level opening, the team places real value on hands-on exposure to the tools used day-to-day, whether that comes from coursework, a lab setup at home, or a short internship. Three months of relevant hands-on experience is the baseline for this role.
Pay and benefits
The role pays INR 41,000 a month. This listing, posted through Naukri Mitra, includes health insurance, paid time off, and provident fund contributions as standard benefits. Since the position is on-site in Bhubaneswar, relocation assistance and accommodation support are also available to candidates relocating from other cities.
Growing into the role
Senior infrastructure engineers on this team review junior work closely at first, walking through the reasoning behind fixes rather than just approving or rejecting them. That oversight loosens as trust builds, usually within the first few months. Infrastructure work rewards patience and pattern recognition more than raw speed, and a junior engineer who asks good questions tends to progress faster here than one who tries to move quickly without fully understanding a system.
How to apply
Send a resume along with any relevant coursework, lab projects, or internship experience involving servers, networking, or virtualization. If you've set up a home lab or worked through networking certifications independently, mention it specifically, since that kind of initiative stands out in this hiring process. Shortlisted candidates will have a technical conversation focused on basic troubleshooting scenarios rather than a formal exam.
