• Experience with multiple active scripting languages and strong IaC, including and especially Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell and Python.
• Strong knowledge of multiple flavors of Linux and Windows Server, along with the experience in administering these systems through scripted/automated processes.
• Strong knowledge with infrastructure services and systems, including Active Directory, DHCP, DNS, DFS and Group Policy (automation, setup, implementation, optimization, etc.)
• Understanding of the workings and operation of virtual environments, including VMware ESXi, vCenter, vCAC, VDIs, etc.)

• A track record and understanding of what it means for full ownership of task, project and responsibilities
• Ability to work independently, as well as part of a team.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to demonstrate a proven troubleshooting methodology
• Willing to work off-hours, including as part of an on-call schedule and during project release windows
