- Strong networking knowledge (subnets, VLANs, IP provisioning, firewall/NAT).
- Experience providing remote console access (HTML5 consoles, VNC, or custom portals).
- Solid troubleshooting skills for both infrastructure and macOS-related issues.
- Strong English communication skills (written and verbal).
Preferred Skills

- Familiarity with Xcode build environments and mobile development workflows.
- Experience working with customer-facing hosting platforms or remote desktop environments.
- Exposure to storage systems (NAS/SAN) and backup tools for virtual machines.
