This is a great opportunity for someone with 2-3+ years of solid Linux experience who picks up new technical areas quickly, works methodically, and is comfortable operating independently, and who wants to develop deeper expertise in infrastructure, high-performance computing, and large-scale systems engineering., * 2-3+ years of solid, hands-on production Linux system administration experience. * Good working knowledge of monitoring solutions (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix, or similar). * Solid networking fundamentals - TCP/IP, DNS, VLANs, routing, basic troubleshooting. * Good understanding of storage concepts - network filesystems, parallel/distributed filesystems, disk/volume management, basic performance troubleshooting. * Comfortable working from the command line and with scripting (Bash, Python, or similar) to automate routine tasks. * A methodical, curious approach to troubleshooting, with the ability to pick up new tools and technical areas quickly. * Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of problems through to resolution. Desirable: * Exposure to or knowledge of HPC (High Performance Computing) environments or cluster compute concepts. * Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g. Ansible, Terraform). * Linux certifications (e.g. RHCSA, LFCS, or similar). * Experience working in a data centre environment. * Knowledge of server hardware (e.g. installation, diagnostics, component replacement). * Silicon industry background. ## Description * Help maintain and troubleshoot a fleet of on-premise Linux (Rocky/RHEL-family) servers. * Support the deployment and upkeep of on-premise compute infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g. Ansible). * Assist with monitoring and observability - setting up and maintaining tooling for resource utilisation, service health, and machine failures (e.g. Prometheus, node_exporter, Grafana, Zabbix). * Help diagnose and resolve networking issues (DNS, VLANs, bonding, routing) and storage issues (network filesystems, capacity management, performance troubleshooting). * Support day-to-day operation of a cluster compute/job scheduling environment (e.g. Slurm). * Help with user and identity management tasks (e.g. FreeIPA/LDAP), including onboarding and access provisioning. * Document infrastructure changes and contribute to runbooks and playbooks. * Work with engineers across the organisation to understand and help resolve infrastructure-related bottlenecks., * Ownership and execution: you will have full agency to drive your work forward * Rapid iteration: we all work directly with top leadership to move from idea to hardware on ambitious timelines * Full-stack engagement: hardware, software, silicon, and modelling teams all work closely together to create a product with generational impact * Optimistic and pragmatic: we possess the will to win, and to do the hard work to get us there * Team player mentality: the mission is bigger than any of us, and we have the curiosity and technical focus to see the best idea shipped, no matter who's it is ## Related Videos - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Discover the open source trio you didn’t expect: .NET and PostgreSQL on Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2042-discover-the-open-source-trio-you-didn-t-expect-net-and-postgresql-on-linux) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
