+ Ensure server systems are secure, stable, and highly available.
+ Highly proficient with enterprise server management tools and possesses intermediate scripting and automation skills.
+ Participate in the planning, deployment, and ongoing support for enterprise server infrastructure to ensure optimum performance and scalability.
+ Possess an expert knowledge of enterprise backup solutions, performance monitoring tools, and cloud-native services.
+ This role requires a blend of technical skills, collaboration, and an understanding of both hardware and software systems.
+ Includes after-hours maintenance and on-call rotations to support critical tier1 systems.
+ Work with cross-functional teams for capacity planning, focusing on future scalability and resource optimization across all environments.
