Administer enterprise SaaS applications (e.g., Slack, GitHub Enterprise, Atlassian suite, Okta, Zoom) including configuration, licensing, role management, and platform health monitoring.

Partner with Security, Compliance, and Engineering teams to define standards for SaaS integration, secrets management, and API governance.

Operations & Support

Troubleshoot complex SaaS, identity, and integration issues across hybrid cloud and on-prem environments.
