Security & Monitoring
  • Implement and enforce cybersecurity measures, including disaster recovery planning and incident response
  • Monitor system performance and reliability using ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) and TIGK (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Grafana, Kapacitor) stacks
  • Ensure compliance with relevant standards (e.g., ISO-27001, SOC-2) and maintain audit readiness
Automation & DevOps
  • Develop and maintain automation scripts and workflows using Terraform and Ansible
  • Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines with tools such as Jenkins and GitHub Actions
  • Foster a DevOps culture, promoting best practices for automation and deployment
Team Leadership & Collaboration
  • Mentor junior and mid-level system administrators, supporting their professional development
  • Collaborate with development, product, and IT teams to deliver infrastructure projects and innovative solutions
  • Maintain comprehensive system documentation and participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation for critical incidents

  • Experience managing SQL (MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases
  • Advanced scripting skills: Bash (essential), Python and PowerShell (advantageous)
  • Expertise in Terraform and Ansible for automation
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and DevOps practices
