  • Customer Interaction: Experience interacting with global/enterprise customers, demonstrating the ability to understand and address their diverse needs. 

  • Consultancy Mindset: Prioritize a consultancy mindset over a service mindset, providing proactive advice and guidance to clients. 

  • Hybrid Operations: Ability to manage both on-premises and cloud infrastructure, facilitating seamless hybrid operations. 

  • Continuous Learning: Eager to learn and adapt to new technologies, including Windows and Microsoft technologies alongside Linux. 

  • Work Schedule Flexibility: Willingness to be on call or work in shifting schedules (24x7) to address customer needs promptly.
