Weekend Aws Sysops Administrator Jobs in Indiana

Job Summary:
Slate Auto is dedicated to building safe and reliable vehicles with a focus on customization and affordability. The Systems Engineer will be responsible for managing Linux server infrastructure and container platforms, ensuring smooth operations across IT and operational technology environments.
Responsibilities:
• Deploy, configure, and maintain RHEL and Rocky Linux servers across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
• Build and manage containerized workloads using Docker, including image lifecycle management, compose stacks, networking, and persistent storage.
• Develop and maintain Ansible automation for provisioning, configuration management, patching, and compliance enforcement across the server fleet.
• Administer Zabbix monitoring infrastructure - create and tune templates, configure alerting, build dashboards, and ensure comprehensive observability of all critical systems.
• Manage virtualization platforms and supporting infrastructure including storage, networking (VLANs, firewalling), and backup/recovery.
• Provision and maintain AWS resources - manage EC2 instances, RDS databases, security groups, and related cloud infrastructure.
• Maintain documentation and standard operating procedures for all managed systems.
• Participate in capacity planning, change management, and incident response.
• Collaborate with operations and engineering teams to support manufacturing and plant-floor technology needs.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 3+ years of hands-on experience administering RHEL-family Linux distributions (RHEL, Rocky, CentOS) in a production environment.
• Strong working knowledge of Docker - building images, managing containers, troubleshooting networking, and working with compose and registries.
• Demonstrated experience writing and maintaining Ansible playbooks, roles, and inventories for infrastructure automation.
• Experience deploying and administering Zabbix (or a comparable enterprise monitoring platform such as Nagios, LibreNMS, or Prometheus/Grafana), including custom template development and alert tuning.
• Experience with AWS infrastructure - specifically EC2 instance management (provisioning, security groups, AMIs) and RDS administration (deployment, backups, parameter tuning).
• Solid understanding of Linux networking (iptables/nftables, VLANs, bonding/teaming, DNS, NTP) and storage (LVM, ZFS, NFS).
• Comfort working in the terminal - scripting in Bash is second nature.
• Familiarity with hardware lifecycle management: racking servers, managing UPS/PDU infrastructure, cabling, and labeling.
• Strong troubleshooting methodology and the ability to work independently through ambiguous problems.
Preferred:
• Experience with Kubernetes (K8s) - cluster deployment, pod management, Helm charts, or managed K8s services.
• Exposure to PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) environments and industrial/OT networking concepts.
• Experience with Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform (gateway administration, module management, or tag/scripting work).
• Experience with virtualization platforms such as Proxmox, VMware, or Hyper-V, Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools beyond Ansible (Terraform, Packer).
• Relevant certifications (RHCSA/RHCE, AWS Solutions Architect/SysOps, CKA, Docker DCA, CompTIA Linux+).
