The Engineer (L2) plays a key role in supporting, maintaining, and optimizing cloud-based environments with a strong focus on operational excellence, reliability, security, and cost efficiency.

This role involves contributing to the development and enhancement of automation capabilities that enable clients to effectively run their workloads in the cloud.

A solid foundation in Linux and Windows systems, networking, and production operations is critical for effective troubleshooting and environment stability.

Success in this role depends on a balance of technical depth, operational ownership, and client collaboration, along with a continuous focus on improving systems through automation, governance, and best practices.
