More specifically, you will:

• Operate, maintain, and continuously improve server and infrastructure environments across on-prem and cloud platforms.
• Manage the infrastructure lifecycle, including installation, configuration, patching, upgrades, maintenance, and decommissioning.
• Monitor system health and performance, troubleshoot incidents, and contribute to reliable backup, recovery, and security practices.
• Develop and maintain automation, scripts, and tooling to improve efficiency, consistency, and operational quality.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors on troubleshooting, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.
• Maintain technical documentation and operational runbooks.
• Participate in the IT Operations on-call rotation and support incident response. Re****quirements

You also understand the importance of security, reliability, and operational excellence in business-critical environments.

To succeed in this role, we also believe you have:

• Experience with automation and configuration management tools such as Ansible, Terraform, or similar.

• Experience with at least one scripting or programming language, such as Python, Bash, or equivalent.
