• Support disaster recovery and backup processes, ensuring recoverability across cloud and on-prem environments
• Implement and maintain security and compliance controls across infrastructure platforms
• Automate repetitive processes using PowerShell, Terraform, or Azure Automation
• Contribute to documentation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement initiatives
