  • Monitor system performance and security posture, identifying risks and implementing corrective actions to maintain compliance with security standards
  • Develop and maintain automation, scripts, and tooling to improve operational efficiency and reduce manual effort
  • Produce and maintain technical documentation, system diagrams, and operational standards to support consistent administration and future scaling
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to align systems administration efforts with platform reliability, scalability, and business objectives
