• Maintain technical documentation, troubleshooting procedures, and knowledge articles for support teams.

Infrastructure Onboarding & Operations

• Support onboarding and provisioning of physical and virtual servers.
• Ensure systems meet configuration, security, access, monitoring, logging, backup, and documentation requirements.
• Support CyberArk onboarding and privileged-access integration.
• Validate infrastructure readiness before systems are moved into production.
• Provide operational documentation and technical handoffs to NOC and support teams.

Incident, Problem & Change Management

• Provide L3 support for infrastructure incidents and service-impacting events.
• Perform structured troubleshooting using system logs, events, monitoring data, and configuration information.
• Identify recurring problems and contribute to Problem Management and corrective-action activities.
• Plan and execute approved production changes, including testing, validation, rollback procedures, and risk assessment.
• Maintain accurate technical records within IT service management and documentation systems.

Monitoring, Performance & Reliability

• Review infrastructure alerts, system logs, VMware events, and performance data.
