Application Support & Collaboration

  • Work directly with application owners, developers, and analytics engineers to deploy, upgrade, migrate, and maintain applications running on Linux.
  • Serve as a trusted infrastructure partner during application lifecycle events, providing guidance on Linux best practices.

 

Monitoring & Uptime

  • Develop and maintain monitoring solutions for servers across the enterprise to ensure maximum system uptime and rapid incident detection.
  • Continuously improve alerting, dashboards, and observability to reduce downtime.

 

Patching & Vulnerability Remediation

  • Oversee regular and ad-hoc system patching efforts to ensure timely vulnerability remediation in accordance with organizational SLAs.
  • Monitor and enforce patching requirements using AWS Systems Manager.

 

Cloud Infrastructure & Infrastructure-as-Code

  • Deploy and manage infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation and AWS Service Catalog.
  • Contribute to and maintain reusable, standardized infrastructure templates that streamline provisioning and enforce compliance.
Education & Experience

Required

  • 3 or more years of hands-on experience managing Linux systems in a production environment.
  • 2 or more years of experience performing configuration management using Ansible, including authoring and maintaining playbooks and roles.
  • 2 or more years of experience supporting Linux virtual desktops.
  • Demonstrated experience working in a large government, financial, regulatory, or corporate environment, where formal change management, security compliance, and audit requirements are standard.

 

Preferred

  • Bachelor's degree or higher
  • Experience supporting analytics infrastructure, such as Hadoop clusters, AWS EMR, HPC grid clusters using SLURM, AWS Parallel Cluster, or other distributed computing platforms.
  • Experience administering VMware virtual desktops or AWS WorkSpaces at scale.
  • Proficiency with Python for automation, scripting, and tooling development.
Certifications

Preferred

  • Red Hat certifications
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) certifications
