Job Responsibilities

  • Build infrastructure-as-code (Ansible, Terraform, Puppet, Chef) version-controlled, peer-reviewed, CI/CD-deployed
  • Apply security principles (least privilege, defense in depth, zero trust) to system design
  • Own system hardening baselines and CVE response workflows

  • Manage configuration management at scale using Puppet, Chef, or Ansible across heterogeneous environments
  • Automate everything from provisioning, compliance checks, patching until decommissioning,
  • Address complex cross-system issues: NFS, kernel, networking, storage, and server hardware
  • Perform performance engineering: identify bottlenecks, implement measurable fixes, and produce evidence-based root cause analysis
  • Build observability and synthetic monitoring tooling to detect problems before users report them
  • Work closely with development, networking, security, and other IT teams to deploy applications, integrate new technologies, and manage project lifecycles
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for system configurations, architectural decisions, runbooks, and troubleshooting procedures

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Advanced troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills with the ability to resolve complex technical issues across multiple infrastructure layers.
  • Solid knowledge of core networking concepts including TCP/IP, DNS, subnetting, routing, and firewall fundamentals.

•     Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document designs, procedures, and technical recommendations clearly.
