Skill Requirements Experience in a NOC, service desk, infrastructure operations, junior SRE, systems administration, or technical support environment. • Working knowledge of Linux command-line troubleshooting, processes, filesystems, services, networking, permissions, and logs. • Foundational understanding of compute, virtualization, storage, TCP/IP networking, DNS, DHCP, identity, and authentication. • Experience with Jira or comparable ticketing systems and with monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, SolarWinds, or PagerDuty. • Ability to follow technical procedures, capture accurate evidence, recognize risk and stop conditions, and communicate concise handoffs. • Basic scripting or automation experience with Python, shell, Ansible, or APIs is beneficial. • Exposure to MAAS, Xen, VMware, Azure, NetApp, Pure, Weka, Arista, Cisco, or GPU/HPC infrastructure is beneficial.
