Key responsibilities encompass the administration and support of the enterprise DDI platform, ensuring reliable IP address allocation, DNS resolution, and DHCP services. You will manage and maintain the IPControl infrastructure, including administering enterprise DNS, DHCP, and IPAM services. This involves creating and managing IP address blocks, subnets, DHCP scopes, reservations, and DNS zones. Monitoring DHCP pool utilization and IP address consumption, along with performing subnet provisioning and capacity forecasting, are crucial. The role also includes supporting multi-cloud environments and configuring/troubleshooting DNS records, zones, and policies.
Furthermore, you will manage DHCP failover and lease monitoring, supporting various DNS/DHCP services like Microsoft DNS/DHCP, ISC/Kea, BIND, and cloud DNS. Resolving production incidents impacting DNS and DHCP operations is a priority. You will also leverage automation tools, APIs, and scripting to streamline network provisioning and improve operational efficiency.
In load balancer management, you will configure and manage solutions such as F5 BIG-IP (LTM/GTM), Citrix ADC (NetScaler), and HAProxy/NGINX. This includes implementing L4/L7 load balancing, configuring virtual servers, pools, health monitors, and SSL offloading. Optimizing traffic distribution, application performance, and troubleshooting load balancing and application connectivity issues are also essential duties.
