## Description

If you're the Linux professional everyone turns to when systems break - and you happen to have strong VoIP/SIP experience - this could be a great opportunity.

I'm partnered with a technically elite organization looking for a strong Linux Systems Administrator or Engineer to support complex, production Linux environments that power telecom and real-time voice infrastructure.

You don't need to come from a traditional telecom engineering background. If you're an excellent Linux professional who has worked with VoIP, SIP, networking, and production systems, we'd absolutely like to talk.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys troubleshooting difficult technical problems, working from the command line, digging through logs and packet captures, and seeing issues through to resolution.

What You'll Own:

 * Deep troubleshooting across production Linux environments, primarily Red Hat
 * Diagnose and resolve VoIP and SIP issues in live production environments
 * Analyze logs and troubleshoot system, application, and infrastructure issues
 * Perform packet-level analysis using Wireshark
 * Investigate networking and connectivity issues across Linux-based systems
 * Write MOPs for production changes, upgrades, and maintenance
 * Support maintenance windows, patching, upgrades, and infrastructure updates
 * Work directly with engineering and development teams to troubleshoot and resolve complex issues
 * Participate in a rotating on-call schedule
