Position Summary

The Principal Linux Systems Support role provides ongoing Systems Administration support, including installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of hardware, software, applications, and connectivity components for Linux environments across multiple locations.

Operational responsibilities include remediation of daily incident tickets, system compliance, system run enhancement, testing, staging, policy/procedure enhancement, client contact coordination, and operational recommendations to address availability and reliability issues on Linux systems, while playing a lead role in shaping Linux systems strategy across the company.

This role splits its time between the Business Availability team - designing highly available Linux and Unix infrastructure and reducing reliance on planned maintenance windows - and the Disaster Recovery practice, ensuring Linux solutions are validated against recovery objectives.

Core Responsibilities

  • Applies extensive knowledge of the business availability in systems design, development, and support.

  • Translates long-term business requirements into systems and infrastructure design.

Business Availability Responsibilities

  • Assesses and documents current-state Linux and Unix solution architectures.

  • Designs and recommends high-availability Linux solutions, including Red Hat clustering, KVM, and AIX/Unix environments, aligned with business and technical requirements.

  • Develops migration strategies, implementation roadmaps, and associated bills of materials for Linux and Unix environments.

  • Ensures proposed Linux solutions can be effectively integrated into the Disaster Recovery practice.

  • Collaborates with account teams to gather operational knowledge and support transition planning.

Disaster Recovery Responsibilities

  • Participates in design reviews to validate that Linux solutions can meet recovery objectives.

  • Reviews and maintains DR documentation, runbooks, and supporting artifacts for Linux systems.

  • Supports coordination and execution of planned DR testing activities.

  • Monitors and evaluates Linux DR infrastructure capacity across on-premises and cloud environments.

You will be successful in this role if you have:

  • BA/BS degree and 8+ years of relevant experience OR equivalent combination of education and experience.

  • Master's degree preferred.

  • Expert-level expertise in Linux systems administration and enterprise infrastructure design.

  • Proven ability to lead technical teams and advise across the organization on complex, business-critical issues.

  • Experience with Red Hat Linux, including KVM and clustering.

  • Experience with AIX.

  • Familiarity with Unix.

  • Familiarity with VMware.

  • Familiarity with disaster recovery and high availability in cloud environments - Oracle OCI and Microsoft Azure.

  • U.S. Citizenship and U.S. residency required.

This role may require access to export-controlled commodities and technology. Therefore, to conform to U.S. export control regulations, applicant should be eligible for any required authorizations from the U.S. Government.
