• Maintain visibility over server health, application metrics, and infrastructure clusters, proactively identifying and resolving system anomalies and bottlenecks.
• Act as the primary responder to unexpected downtime, troubleshooting system errors, server faults, and network issues with precision.
• Deploy firewall rule sets, manage network routing, execute vulnerability scans, and maintain access controls for audits.
• Manage internal user environments, create documentation for user access policies, handle technology tooling procurement, and maintain the IT infrastructure for the global team.
