• Maintain highly automated OS patching processes and ensure consistent configuration across environments.
• Implement and maintain system hardening, patching, and compliance controls for Windows and Linux workloads.
• Conduct server audits to ensure adherence to security standards, policies, and configuration guidelines.
• Design, implement, and test disaster recovery and business continuity solutions for Compute platforms.
• Provide advanced troubleshooting and root cause analysis for complex compute, OS, and virtualization issues.
• Serve as L3/L4 escalation support for offshore Managed Service Providers responsible for day-to-day operations.
• Provide technical direction, oversight, and mentoring to MSP teams and internal partners.
• Partner with architects, application teams, cloud teams, and security teams to design resilient and secure solutions aligned with enterprise standards.
• Act as a liaison to business and platform teams using compute management tools in AWS and Azure.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, design standards, and operational procedures.
• Participate in on-call rotation and after-hours support for global compute environments as required.
