Additional Skills & Qualifications

We are seeking a senior-level, hands-on engineer. It's a generalist but the big ticket item is enterprise Linux experience. Someone who builds things, not just maintains them. The Must-Haves Real Enterprise Linux Experience: Someone who has actually designed and supported Linux in a corporate setting. Candidates have to know how to make Linux sync with Active Directory. Azure Skills: The team has a gap here. They need someone who can build out their Azure environment from the ground up – IaaS and PaaS, networking. Bonus if someone has experience with Azure VDI since they want to ditch their on-prem Citrix. Automation: The team is lean, so they automate everything they can. They're rolling out Ansible right now, so experience there is a big plus. The Fun Stuff (The Projects) This is not a boring job. The new person will get to: Finish the Ansible Rollout: Get Ansible Tower fully stood up and start creating playbooks for everything. Build the Azure Environment: This is a 2025 project to create their Azure presence from scratch. Move a Data Center: Get involved in planning and executing a data center move next year. Figure out the VMware Situation: Help research and choose a new hypervisor now that Broadcom is changing things up. Logistics: In the Office: 3 days a week. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are fixed, the third day is flexible.
