Lifecycle Management: Manage the technology lifecycle via automated decommissioning and provisioning in accordance with company policies.
On-Call Support: Participate in pre-scheduled 24x7x365 system on-call rotation, utilizing remote automation tools for rapid incident response.
Experience You’ll Bring

DevOps Mindset: Experience with configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Chef, or Puppet) to manage Windows fleets.
