You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify dependencies and schedule maintenance windows for OS and application patching. Additionally, you will be expected to generate and maintain monthly patch baseline and compliance reports. Your role will also involve participating in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Problem Management discussions when necessary, ensuring compliance with organizational policies, processes, and procedures, as well as supporting and executing projects related to vulnerability management and patching.

Proficiency in using package management tools such as YUM, DNF, APT, and Zypper is required, as well as familiarity with automation tools like Ansible, Chef, or Puppet for streamlined patch deployment. Exposure to containerized environments and best security practices for Docker and Kubernetes is desirable, along with knowledge of virtualization and cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). In terms of professional attributes, you should have strong communication skills to convey technical issues clearly to business stakeholders. Effective presentation skills for delivering vulnerability and patching status updates are also important. You should have excellent multitasking ability, with experience managing large-scale and concurrent patching projects.
