- Install, manage, and optimize Ceph (MON/OSD/MGR/RGW) for high‑performance and fault‑tolerant storage.
- Improve storage performance, balancing, replication, recovery, and cluster scalability.
- Implement backup and snapshot strategies, and ensure storage availability for VPS and cloud services.
- Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Juniper switching/routing hardware.
- Own network performance optimization: routing stability, throughput, latency, packet loss, and capacity planning.
- Work with routing and HA technologies (BGP/OSPF/VRRP, VLANs, LACP, etc.).
- Design secure and reliable interconnects between data centers and cloud infrastructure.
- Configure and manage firewalls, VPNs, access policies, and network security controls.
- Implement security best practices: segmentation, ACL policies, patching strategy, vulnerability mitigation, and incident response readiness.
- Work with secure remote access, bastion models, and least‑privilege access.
- Manage production hosting/server environments on:
- Windows Server: 2016 / 2019 / 2022 (IIS/AD is a plus)
- Maintain and optimize web server stacks and hosting infrastructure:
- Reverse proxy setups, SSL/TLS, caching, log analysis, performance tuning
- Monitor infrastructure performance and proactively resolve incidents to minimize downtime.
- Build alerting and observability (metrics/logs/traces) and improve real‑time monitoring workflows.
- Create and implement disaster recovery plans, failover designs, and redundancy strategies.
- Participate in on‑call/shift operations as required for a global hosting platform.
- Maintain detailed infrastructure documentation: configurations, diagrams, policies, and runbooks.
- Collaborate with Dev Ops, Support, Product, and Leadership teams to ensure reliability, availability, and scalability.
- Recommend architecture improvements and propose new product/feature ideas for Ultahost’s cloud offerings.
- 5+ years of experience in cloud VPS management, hosting infrastructure, data center operations, or similar roles.
