• Support version upgrades, ensuring platform stability, backward compatibility, and adoption of new features (preferably experience with Exstream 22.x–25.x).

• Participate in ARB (Architecture Review Board) discussions and influence decisions on correspondence strategy and technical direction.

• Contribute to DevOps and cloud-native deployment strategies, including containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes, Helm), and AWS-native storage configuration (EBS, EFS, NFS).

• Configure and optimize multi-tenant architecture, ensuring security, scalability, and high availability (HA).
