Technology Lead - Linux & Cloud-native infrastructure

As the Technology Lead Linux, you will be a key technical expert responsible for the reliability and stability of the core infrastructure ecosystem. At TVH, some of our mission critical systems run on Linux; therefore, your expertise will ensure the resilience and scalability of our business operations. In this role, you will bridge the gap between traditional enterprise Linux stability and modern cloud-native architectures, whether they reside on prem or in the cloud. You are a key player in shaping the technology roadmap, implementing a culture of “Infrastructure as Code” (IaC). Your primary weapon of choice will be the Ansible Automation Platform, transforming manual processes into highly orchestrated, self-healing workflows.

Responsibilities

• Roadmapping: Influence, shape, maintain, and execute the technology roadmap for our Linux infrastructure, ensuring it aligns with business requirements, growth, and modern cloud/hybrid trends.
• Automation: Serve as the technical owner for the Ansible Automation Platform. Design and implement robust automation frameworks for provisioning, configuration management, patching, and compliance.
• Infrastructure Guardian: Ensure maximum uptime, performance tuning, and security hardening of the Linux environments hosting our core ecosystems, on prem or in the cloud.
• Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Guide, mentor, and elevate the skills of system engineers. Establish best practices, code review standards for Ansible playbooks, and documentation guidelines.
• Lifecycle & Vulnerability Management: Oversee OS lifecycle management, upgrades, and security patching, minimizing maintenance windows through automated updates.
• Vendor & Stakeholder Alignment: Collaborate with the PM office, application teams, tech leads, architects and security officers to ensure maximum uptime and on time delivery.

Qualifications

• Deep, production-proven experience administering enterprise Linux distributions such as RHEL or SUSE in high-availability environments.
• Expertise with Ansible Automation Platform (AAP), Ansible Tower/AWX, creating complex roles and collections, and integrating Ansible with CI/CD pipelines such as GitLab or Jenkins. Experience with Terraform is a major plus.
• Solid understanding of hosting large-scale ecosystems on Linux, including storage clustering and high-availability (HA) concepts.
• Strong knowledge of virtualization concepts, including ESXi hypervisors, vCenter management, virtual networking, vMotion, and HA/DRS configurations.
• Proven knowledge of Kubernetes architecture and multi-cluster management using SUSE Rancher, as well as container runtimes such as Docker and containerd.
• Strong knowledge of Linux security frameworks.
• Ability to look past daily tickets and conceptualize long-term improvements.
• Effective communication skills to translate complex technical infrastructure roadmaps into business value.
• Root-cause analysis mindset rather than a “quick fix” mentality.
• Comfortable working with diverse cultures and adaptable to different environments.
• Team-player attitude; inspire other team members in our journey.

Benefits

• An attractive salary package with extra-legal benefits such as a company car, group and hospitalization insurance, luncheon vouchers, and a corporate restaurant.
• Flexible working hours and work-from-home possibilities.
• 20 days of holiday and 12 WTR days within a 40-hour week.
• Opportunities for personal development through permanent guidance and professional training courses.
• Access to an innovative, progressive and technological environment.
• Fun after-work events and optional activities.
