• Optimize performance and cost-efficiency through automation and resource utilization.

• Oversee disaster recovery planning and risk mitigation.

What we’re looking for

• Deep expertise in private cloud technologies (VMware vSphere, OpenStack, Nutanix) and automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD pipelines).

• Strong infrastructure knowledge across networking, servers, databases, middleware, and security compliance.

• Strategic mindset with hands-on capability, able to define technical roadmaps and optimize performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.

• Excellent communication and leadership skills, fostering collaboration, mentoring teams, and promoting a culture of innovation and continuous learning.
