Backup & DR: Experience with managing backup and DR within Red Hat OpenShift environments. Assisting the DR team in configuring run books for Client DR Testing.
Operational Excellence: Manage VM-specific "Day 2" operations, including Live Migration, node maintenance/draining, and high-availability (HA) scheduling.
Optimize & Maintain: Proactively monitor our systems with CheckMK, manage storage on Pure Storage and HPE.
Troubleshoot & Resolve: Act as a final escalation point for complex technical issues, performing deep-dive root cause analysis and collaborating with support teams to ensure timely resolution.
Collaborate & Innovate: Work closely with a team of skilled engineers to share knowledge, improve processes, and evaluate emerging technologies.
Provide Critical Support: Participate in a rotating on-call schedule to provide after-hours support for critical infrastructure.
