• Manage enterprise file server infrastructure including DFS, permissions management, and storage optimization
• Design and implement enterprise backup and disaster recovery solutions ensuring RPO/RTO requirements are met for critical systems
• Lead migration projects from legacy infrastructure to modern cloud-native and hybrid solutions
• Deploy and maintain comprehensive system monitoring, alerting, and observability platforms (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Wazuh)
• Develop infrastructure-as-code automation workflows using Terraform, Ansible, and Power Shell
• Implement Git Ops practices for infrastructure and application deployment pipelines
• Design and manage persistent storage solutions for Kubernetes including CSI drivers, storage classes, and backup/recovery procedures
• Support FedRAMP, HIPAA, and FDA 510(k)-aligned infrastructure deployments with proper hardening and audit trails
• Develop and maintain systems documentation, architecture diagrams, and operational runbooks
• Participate in on-call rotation for critical systems infrastructure

Required Qualifications

• 7–10+ years of experience in enterprise systems administration, cloud infrastructure, or Dev Ops/SRE roles
• Deep expertise in Linux server administration (RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian) and Windows Server environments
