- Collaborate cross-functionally to deploy and maintain critical infrastructure and applications.
- Participate in helpdesk and escalation support — we operate as an all-hands-on-deck team.
- Maintain thorough documentation, SOPs, and change records to support reliability and compliance.
Basic Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience as a System Administrator or equivalent technical role.
