 * Collaborating with a global Linux Engineering team for coordinating work, engineering projects, changes, and on-call schedules
 * Serving as a liaison between the Linux Engineering team and various trading desks and teams
 * Configuring, deploying and maintaining DRW's Linux environments in a declarative and repeatable manner
 * Actively monitoring the health of our entire Linux server environment; performing day to day troubleshooting
 * Application packaging and maintenance of software repositories
 * Automating repetitive system administration tasks
 * Evaluating and recommending new hardware and software technologies or solutions
