• Incident Response: Collaborate with the Security Operations team to resolve complex security incidents and conduct vulnerability assessments.
• Technical Leadership: Develop operational procedures and technical documentation to "operationalize" new cloud services.
• Mentorship: Provide guidance and knowledge transfer to junior and mid-level system administrators.
