Role Purpose
The Administrator IT Infrastructure Administration responds to real-time alert for device health, application health, stability, and performance, this includes outage and degraded performance incidents/problems. The Administrator IT Infrastructure Administration contributes to the continuous improvement of infrastructure monitoring systems while maintaining a set of standards and fix violations. The Administrator IT Infrastructure Administration is an experienced individual contributor on a project/work team.
Key Accountabilities
- Maintain infrastructure devices including performing OS/Hardware/Virtual Machine upgrades, physical replacement, standards compliance and vulnerability research/mitigation.
- Proactively monitor infrastructure resource utilization and maintain capacity management planning.
- Compile statistics and build reports on network/application performance.
- Expected to give guidance on infrastructure configuration management standards.
- Perform scheduled/planned and emergency approved change implementation and validations
- Participate in the Post Outage Review process researching documentation around major incident with root cause analysis, follow up activities and lessons learned.
- Develop and maintain operational procedure documentation and infrastructure diagrams.
- Expected to work directly with engineering teams for advanced troubleshooting/research on incident resolution and small project implementations.
- Serves as an escalation point for tier 2 support for complex solution resolution and responsible for root cause analysis (may involve some on call responsibilities). Document/track/manage issues and resolutions.
- Contact vendors and other 3rd party businesses for trouble/ticket reporting.
- Coordinate with infrastructure resources (network, systems, storage, database) to implement changes including building configurations.
- Coordinates the continuous improve infrastructure monitoring systems. Adjust and add proactive alerts and statistics.
- Identify application/Database/ infrastructure components with opportunity for improvement and escalate as appropriate.
