• Lead on incident escalations and problem management, driving root cause analysis and long-term solutions
• Support disaster recovery and backup processes, ensuring recoverability across cloud and on-prem environments
• Implement and maintain security and compliance controls across infrastructure platforms
• Automate repetitive processes using PowerShell, Terraform, or Azure Automation
• Contribute to documentation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement initiatives

• Proficiency with PowerShell or similar scripting tools (Terraform, Bicep, Python, etc.)
• Background in Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, and related technologies
• Experience implementing security best practices in enterprise environments
• Relevant certifications (e.g. Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator / Solutions Architect) are a plus
