  • Perform regular backups and validate disaster recovery and business continuity procedures for systems and databases.
  • Harden systems and enforce security best practices: patch management, access controls, vulnerability remediation, auditing, and endpoint protection.
  • Automate routine tasks and deployments using scripting (Bash, PowerShell, Python) and configuration management tools.
  • Maintain accurate documentation: knowledgebase, on-call procedures, topology diagrams, change logs, and incident post-mortems.
