- Identity & access management (Active Directory, LDAP).
Qualifications
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Networking, or related field.
- 25+ years in system/network administration.
- Certifications highly valued: CCNA/CCNP, CompTIA Network+, Microsoft Server, RHCE.
KPIs / Success Metrics
- Network uptime & reliability (downtime reduction).
- Security incident reduction.
- Server performance benchmarks.
- User support response/resolution time.
Key Difference in Focus:
- Cloud Engineer = modern, cloud-first (AWS/Azure/GCP, automation, containers).
- Network & Systems Engineer = traditional enterprise infrastructure (servers, firewalls, routers, hybrid setups).
