Collaborate with SecOps to run vulnerability scans, interpret findings, and support remediation activities. Provide deployment support to local and remote engineering teams, ensuring smooth rollout of clustered systems.

Develop, document, and continuously improve procedures for installation, cluster orchestration, troubleshooting, and lifecycle maintenance. Contribute to the evolution of DevOps tooling, automation frameworks, and best practices across the organization. Qualifications Strong understanding of Linux operating systems, especially Ubuntu.

Hands‑on experience with virtualization platforms such as VMware ESXi and/or Proxmox, ideally in clustered or multi‑node environments.
