  • Support break/fix and incident management across the Physical Security application space.
  • Onboard and implement emerging technology solutions such as biometrics and video analytics offerings.
  • Establish and report on KPIs/OKRs (uptime, MTTR, change success rate, SLA adherence, backlog throughput) and drive continuous improvement.
  • Partner closely with Physical Security operations, Network/Cloud Engineering, Cybersecurity, Risk/Compliance, and Facilities/Real Estate to align platform capabilities with business needs and controls.

Requirements

  • Strong Windows and Linux server administration skills; proficiency with SQL, PowerShell, and at least one additional scripting language (e.g., Python) for automation and API integrations.
  • Solid networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, multicast/unicast, QoS, VPN, and firewall concepts; experience collaborating with network teams to design resilient architectures.
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity practices, vulnerability management, identity/access governance, and logging/SIEM integrations; ability to partner effectively with Cyber and Risk/Compliance.
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills; comfortable driving outcomes across business and technology partners.
