• Monitor and improve system performance, availability, and scalability through proactive analysis and automation.
• Maintain compliance with security and operational standards across all environments.

• Minimum of 3+ years of professional experience in infrastructure engineering, Dev Ops, or related fields.
• Strong understanding of Dev Ops concepts (performance monitoring, autoscaling, failover, redundancy, traffic analysis).
• Experience with CI/CD systems (e.g., Jenkins, Git Hub Actions).
• Familiarity with infrastructure‑as‑code tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform).
• Hands‑on experience with server infrastructure, including:
  • Linux and Windows server administration
  • Network configuration and troubleshooting
  • Storage management and backup strategies
  • Virtualization technologies (e.g., Harvester, Rancher, VMware, Proxmox, etc.)
• Proven ability to work across multiple teams in a collaborative environment.
• Highly thorough with the ability to clearly document work.
• Self‑starter with strong problem‑solving skills and ability to identify root causes and drive solutions.

• Knowledge/experience with AWS products and services.
• Experience with web delivery workflows.
• Exposure to distributed systems and data pipeline architectures.
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools.
• Strong technical foundation in system‑level architecture and automation.
