- VM and managed service administration relevant to company workloads
- Logging/monitoring and cost-awareness recommendations
- Participate in architecture and vendor discussions related to cloud services and security posture.
- Participate in IT ticket triage and issue resolution, balancing project work with daily operations.
- Maintain clear documentation and change tracking for security policies, AI agents, and infrastructure changes.
- Contribute to continuous improvement—automation, scripting, standardization, and proactive risk reduction.
- Assures that the Organization maintains all aspects of effective technology security, while allowing efficient/effective product delivery. This includes assisting with maintaining SOC 2, Type 2 and HITRUST certifications that include HIPAA considerations and addressing all third-party stakeholder security audits.
- Manage security of file transfer processes including user accounts and encryption.
