Details

You’ll also need a solid understanding of network security, both physical and logical. Experience working in a high security web hosting environment is preferred.
We operate a near zero downtime managed web hosting environment. To do well in this role, you need to be someone who measures three times and cuts once. Our clients have very little tolerance for downtime and our paychecks depend on meeting their expectations.

You should be slightly obsessive about change control management, documentation, and automating routine actions to both gain efficiency and reduce the likelihood of human error.
