• Strong understanding of basic computing concepts like DNS, IP addressing, Networking, and LDAP.

• Effectively participate and contribute to on-call escalations with a strong operational mindset and provide technical guidance during critical incidents.

• Proactively communicate with customers on technical issues when required.

• Ability to guide junior engineers when needed technically.

• Manage the full lifecycle of alerts, incidents, and service requests reported through FreshService, ensuring timely and accurate logging, prioritization, resolution, and escalation.
