Work with network, cloud, cybersecurity, application, infrastructure, and service desk teams to resolve technical issues.
Develop and maintain technical documentation, including standard operating procedures, troubleshooting guides, configuration documentation, ticket documentation, and knowledge articles.
Support and conduct implementation and testing of new security capabilities, technologies, and configuration changes.

Demonstrated experience supporting O&M operations, including ticket management, incident troubleshooting, service requests, configuration changes, and issue resolution.
Experience analyzing network traffic, logs, alerts, and system information to troubleshoot technical and security issues.
Experience working with customers or stakeholders in a customer-facing technical support or engineering role.
Ability to communicate technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Experience documenting technical issues, troubleshooting activities, resolutions, and configuration changes.
Ability to work with minimal supervision on assigned technical tasks while collaborating effectively with senior engineers, architects, and cross-functional teams as needed.
