•    Configure and troubleshoot network components, including VPNs, firewalls, and hybrid connectivity.

•    Automate tasks using PowerShell, Azure CLI, or IaC tools (ARM, Bicep).

•    Participate in the deployment and maintenance of scalable, highly available systems with load balancing and virtualization.

•    Develop, maintain, and review infrastructure documentation, runbooks, and procedures.

•    Provide Tier 2/3 support, troubleshooting complex issues, and contributing to disaster recovery strategies.

•    Collaborate cross-functionally and support infrastructure-related projects—migration, upgrades, security enhancements.

Your impact:

•    Bridge the gap between routine administration and engineering-driven transformation.

•    Ensure the reliability, security, and scalability of our infrastructure.

•    Proactively streamline and optimize operational workflows via automation.

•    Collaborate across teams to enable smooth infrastructure deployments and integrations.

Contributors to your success:
