• Respond to high-priority infrastructure issues in a timely manner

• Investigate outages, instability, and degraded application performance

• Perform root cause analysis and implement long-term corrective actions

• Troubleshoot CPU, memory, disk I/O, networking, and service bottlenecks

Service Administration & Performance Install, configure, maintain, and optimize Apache, PHP / PHP-FPM, MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, and cron jobs / scheduled services. Responsibilities include performance tuning, service troubleshooting, capacity planning, and stability improvements.

Infrastructure Automation

• Maintain and improve Ansible-based infrastructure deployments

• Automate provisioning and repeatable operational tasks

• Standardize system configuration and deployment practices

Security & Access Management

• Maintain Linux user accounts, permissions, and access policies

• Manage SSH access and authentication controls

• Investigate suspicious activity and possible security threats

• Apply security updates and maintain server hardening standards

Networking & Systems Operations

• Maintain VLAN-based networking configurations

• Experience with Redis and Elasticsearch

• Experience using Ansible

• Experience with Cloudflare

• Strong Linux troubleshooting and incident response skills

• Familiarity with Bash/shell scripting, cron jobs, VLANs, DNS, SSH, and Linux permissions and access control

On-Call Expectations

• Availability to respond to critical outages and severe performance degradation

• Comfortable troubleshooting live production issues

• Ability to diagnose and remediate problems independently

• Focus on both immediate mitigation and long-term prevention

Ideal Candidate

You've managed real production Linux systems and are comfortable being responsible for uptime. You have experience troubleshooting complex infrastructure problems under pressure and understand how Apache, PHP-FPM, MySQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch interact in a production web stack. You thrive in a flexible, part-time arrangement and can work independently while collaborating remotely with a small technical team.

Savi Gurus is an equal opportunity organization. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds. To apply, please submit your resume and a brief summary of relevant production Linux experience.
