Description

  • Own, configure, and optimize core mail infrastructure including MTAs and IMAP/POP3 servers.
  • Design and maintain high-availability routing, load balancing, and failover systems across the infrastructure network.
  • Administer PostgreSQL replica setups and backup/archive servers to ensure rapid workload takeover during failures.
