  • Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Grafana, Humio).
  • Solid understanding of security best practices, change management, and backup/recovery strategies in AD.
  • Experience working in regulated environments with an emphasis on compliance and auditing.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
