use telemetry to identify issues before they become business disruptions.* Lead incident response for complex infrastructure events, perform root-cause analysis, and track corrective actions through completion.* Partner with Security and Compliance teams to implement least privileged access controls, secure configuration baselines, vulnerability remediation, patching, logging, encryption, and evidence collection.* Design, maintain, and regularly test backup, restore, disaster recovery, and business-continuity capabilities; document recovery objectives, dependencies, and runbooks.* Plan and execute upgrades, migrations, patching, lifecycle refreshes, and changes using disciplined change management and risk assessment practices.* Participate in an on-call rotation and support major changes or incidents outside normal business hours when required.## ## Service Ownership and Collaboration* Maintain accurate architecture diagrams, standards, configuration records, knowledge articles, operational procedures, and service ownership documentation.* Create complete ServiceNow and Jira records that clearly capture scope, impact, implementation steps, validation, rollback, decisions, and outcomes.* Serve as a senior escalation point, mentor other engineers, review technical work, and share knowledge through documentation and practical coaching.* Work effectively with distributed teams, vendors, managed service providers, and business stakeholders; communicate technical risk, tradeoffs, status, and recommendations in clear language.* Use cost, utilization, reliability, and support data to recommend platform consolidation, retirement, modernization, or optimization.**Required Qualifications*** 5+ years of progressive, hands-on systems engineering or infrastructure administration experience in a medium-to-large enterprise environment.* Demonstrated experience administering Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, and enterprise authentication and authorization services.* Hands-on experience with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra ID, and Exchange Online or Exchange Hybrid administration.* Hands-on experience with at least one public cloud platform (Azure preferred;
