  • Drive operational excellence and ensure effective incident response in high-pressure conditions.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

  • Compare OCI, AWS, and Azure capabilities to recommend best-fit solutions.
  • Architect and support hybrid connectivity and cloud migration strategies.

    • Security & Compliance

  • Ensure systems follow best practices for security hardening, patching, and access controls.
  • Maintain compliance with regulatory, industry, and organizational standards.

    • Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 10+ years of Linux / Unix systems administration and architecture experience.
  • Proven ability to manage large-scale Linux environments (400+ servers).
