You’ll work closely with Project Managers and cross-functional teams to support a wide range of infrastructure and cloud initiatives, while also serving as a technical resource for clients throughout the project lifecycle. This includes building and deploying solutions, documenting configurations, supporting end users, and ensuring a seamless transition into ongoing support.
