Job description

Overview

If you love solving complex problems, automating the boring stuff, and keeping high-performance systems running at their best, this role puts you right where you thrive. You’ll join a technology-first organisation where engineering quality matters, ideas are welcomed, and Linux is at the heart of everything.

What you’ll be doing

  • Managing and optimising Linux servers across production and internal environments
  • Troubleshooting system, network, and performance issues with confidence and clarity
  • Automating operational tasks and improving reliability through scripting and tooling
  • Supporting deployments, upgrades, and configuration changes across a modern infrastructure stack
  • Working closely with engineering teams to enhance system stability, scalability, and security
  • Maintaining documentation, refining processes, and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives

What you’ll bring

  • Strong hands-on experience with Linux systems administration (any major distro)
  • Solid command-line skills and comfort working deep in the OS
  • Experience with automation or scripting (bash, shell, Python, or similar)
  • Understanding of networking fundamentals and troubleshooting
  • Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and performance-tuning tools
  • A proactive mindset - someone who spots issues early and enjoys making systems better
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical teams

Why this role stands out

  • You’ll work in a genuinely tech-driven environment where engineering decisions matter
  • You’ll have autonomy to improve systems, introduce new ideas, and shape best practices
  • You’ll join a team that values curiosity, ownership, and continuous learning

If you want to work somewhere that treats Linux as a core part of the business - not an afterthought - this is a role where you can make a real impact.
