• Strong troubleshooting skills and experience working across test and production environments.
• An understanding of infrastructure security principles and best practices.
• Familiarity with ITIL and the importance of following established service management processes.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with technical teams, both remotely and on-site.
