Descrizione dell'offerta
We will consider applications from European locations where MetLife has a presence. Warsaw, Poland would be the preference.
Our company is currently undergoing significant transformation across the EMEA region. We operate six regional data centers that play a key role in supporting our test environments. Historically, each region has managed its own processes and infrastructure independently. However, we are now moving toward a more unified, global operating model. The goal of this transformation is to strengthen our internal knowledge base and improve collaboration between regional and global teams. By consolidating expertise and standardizing our practices, we aim to increase efficiency and reduce duplication of effort. This shift will also allow us to provide more consistent and scalable support worldwide. This transformation also focuses on improving collaboration with our internal business partners and responding more effectively to their needs.

The Infrastructure Architect is an exciting new role within the new team, and you will be responsible to the Manager of the team to deliver a world‑class solution for MetLife in EMEA. The ideal candidate will have a full understanding of IT infrastructure technologies to include but not limited to Network, Storage, Backup, Replication, HCI, Virtualisation, Windows and Linux operating systems. Any knowledge of AS400 systems would be a great benefit.
