• Contribute to the modernization and automation of identity management services.
• Document procedures, runbooks, and best practices for authentication technologies.
• Participate in an on-call rotation to address infrastructure incidents and resolve issues promptly.
• Collaborate with engineering teams on infrastructure releases, upgrades, and new service integrations.
• Build and enhance automation to reduce manual processes across deployment and monitoring.
• Optimize infrastructure for performance, capacity, and reliability across global systems.
• Improve runbooks, documentation, and knowledge sharing within support teams.
• Partner with L2/L3 global teams to ensure consistent support and delivery.
• Strengthen monitoring, alerting, and incident response tooling.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Linux systems engineering roles.
• Deep expertise with Linux/Unix systems administration and troubleshooting.
• Strong experience with Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and deployment automation.
• Proficiency in Perl and/or other scripting languages (Python, Bash, etc.).
• Understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS) and security basics.
• Exposure to authentication mechanisms such as Kerberos, SSL/TLS, SAML, etc.
• Familiarity with Agile/DevOps methodologies and production support practices.
• Experience implementing and tuning infrastructure monitoring and dashboards.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Kubernetes or other container orchestration tools.
• Familiarity with virtualization technologies and hybrid cloud platforms.
