Support and stabilize a distributed product maintained over multiple years across a large enterprise install base (100+ customer installations).
Lead deep root-cause analysis of complex issues spanning application behavior, operating systems, databases, containers, and infrastructure.
Define, document, and enforce supported deployment models, environment assumptions, constraints, and known failure modes.
Partner early with software engineering to surface non-obvious system dependencies, scalability limits, and operational risks.
Contribute to containerized and orchestrated deployment strategies; experience with ECS or Kubernetes is a plus.
Influence CI/CD pipelines and release processes to improve reliability, repeatability, and diagnosability in regulated environments.
Apply security best practices to product systems, including hardening, access control, patching strategies, and vulnerability management.

Develop and maintain automation scripts to reduce manual configuration, increase consistency, and eliminate classes of environment-related issues.
Ensure system designs, configurations, and documentation meet IVD regulatory and quality expectations.
Create and maintain system architecture documentation, deployment guides, and operational playbooks.
Serve as a senior escalation point and mentor for system-level issues, raising the bar for system engineering practices.

A minimum of 6 – 7 years of experience supporting commercial product software.
Deep hands-on experience with Windows Server environments, including IIS and SQL Server in production.

Proven experience with Docker and containerized application deployments.
Experience supporting products deployed across virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V) and cloud infrastructure.
Hands-on experience with AWS services such as EC2, VPC, IAM, and storage services.
Demonstrated ability to proactively diagnose and resolve complex system-level issues across software, OS, and infrastructure layers.
