We are not looking for

Candidates whose experience is primarily CI/CD pipeline engineering

Cloud-only administrators with limited bare metal or infrastructure experience

Ideal candidate: Someone who has spent years running enterprise Linux environments, building servers from the hardware up, architecting storage platforms, and solving complex OS, hardware, and storage issues. DevOps experience is a plus, but traditional Linux infrastructure expertise is the primary requirement.
