• Collaborate with the Information Security team on securing network components, infrastructure, and connected devices.

• Strong troubleshooting skills and a track record of diagnosing and resolving network and system issues.
• Familiarity with UNIX/Linux system administration fundamentals and change management practices.

• Strong communication and documentation skills, with the ability to work across technical and non-technical teams and manage multiple priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to research or High Performance Computing (HPC) environments.
• Experience with automation/Infrastructure-as-Code.
