Job description

We are seeking a dependable Linux Systems Administrator with strong command-line experience to help support and maintain our production server environment. This role focuses primarily on Linux system administration, safe deployments, log monitoring, and operational support in a PCI-DSS compliant environment.

Because our infrastructure workload does not fully occupy a systems-only position, this role will also contribute to backend development projects using PHP/MySQL within our LAMP stack (Laravel experience is a plus).

All office workstations run Windows, so occasional internal Windows troubleshooting may also be part of the role.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys both infrastructure and backend development and wants to grow their skills in a stable, security-conscious environment.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Assist in managing and maintaining Linux servers via CLI
  • Support production deployments and releases
  • Monitor application and system logs for errors or anomalies
  • Help troubleshoot system, database, and application issues
  • Write and maintain Bash scripts as needed
  • Contribute to PHP/MySQL development projects
  • Work within Git-based workflows
  • Provide occasional Windows workstation support in the office

Required Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience working with Linux via the command line
  • Experience supporting production or staging environments
  • Working knowledge of MySQL/MariaDB
  • Experience using Git for version control
  • Strong attention to detail and a cautious approach to live systems

Preferred Qualifications

  • PHP development experience
  • Familiarity with the LAMP stack
  • Experience with Laravel
  • Exposure to compliance or security-focused environments (PCI-DSS a plus)
  • Basic Windows troubleshooting experience

What We Value

  • Careful, methodical problem-solving
  • Clear communication
  • Willingness to ask questions rather than make risky assumptions
  • Interest in growing both systems and development skills

Compensation based on experience.

No remote work.
