- Proven experience supporting hybrid infrastructure environments across VMware vSphere, Nutanix AHV, and Microsoft Azure, including integration with enterprise identity and authentication services such as Active Directory, SSSD, and Kerberos.
- Hands-on experience working with **ServiceNow** for incident, change, problem, and request management within a structured ITIL-driven operating model.

- Experience supporting Linux infrastructure within financial services, banking, insurance, or other highly regulated environments, with exposure to security and compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS, CIS Benchmarks, and NIST.
- Additional experience with enterprise security technologies such as CyberArk PAS, CyberArk Conjur, Venafi, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Azure Arc, OpenSCAP, Tripwire, or similar security and compliance tooling.
- Hands-on experience with Red Hat Satellite, enterprise patch orchestration, system compliance reporting, and large-scale operating system lifecycle management.
- Exposure to enterprise monitoring and observability platforms including Dynatrace, CheckMK, Splunk, or related operational monitoring solutions.
