• Serve as a key escalation point for outages, performance concerns, and critical system events.

Qualifications:

• Solid knowledge of high-availability architectures, load balancing, failover, and security best practices.
• Ability to own initiatives, take charge of delivery, and drive outcomes with minimal supervision.
• Strong collaboration skills with cross-functional teams, especially security and development.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to present technical solutions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
