• Experience performing post-migration validation, including website testing, DNS resolution, email delivery, and database connectivity
• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify potential issues before, during, and after a migration

• Familiarity with Linux environments and the ability to continue building deeper Linux and database troubleshooting skills
• Ability to identify potential migration risks and blockers before they become live issues
• Strong work attitude, reliability, and attention to detail, with attendance and dependability being key expectations
• Open and proactive communication, particularly when encountering issues, delays, or risks
