• Implement and maintain monitoring and alerting systems across on-prem and cloud platforms (e.g., Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk, Azure Monitor).
• Support engineering and simulation applications (CAD, CAM, CFD) on both Windows and Linux platforms - ensuring uptime, performance, and license management.
• Automate operational workflows and provisioning using PowerShell, Python, or similar scripting tools.
• Contribute to ITSM initiatives, including incident, change, and configuration management processes.
• 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.

• Proficiency in identity management, endpoint security, and monitoring and alerting systems.
• Solid troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across diverse systems.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Interest in structured operations and ITSM best practices.
