* Implement and maintain security controls, including Conditional Access, MFA, and endpoint protection.
* Support backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity solutions.
* Mentor junior engineers, maintain technical documentation, and contribute to operational improvements.

* Solid networking expertise, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, VPNs, SD-WAN, routing, switching, and firewalls.
* Experience with Remote Desktop Services, backup, and disaster recovery solutions.
