You'll be confident troubleshooting beyond the cloud or deployment layer, working across operating systems, networking, web infrastructure and databases to understand what's actually causing a problem. You'll also have strong AWS and infrastructure-as-code experience, an automation-first mindset, and the ability to take ownership when production issues arise. You'll be comfortable working independently, making sound decisions under pressure and knowing when to involve others. Experience across our wider technology stack, including nginx, Apache, Redis, MariaDB/RDS/Postgres, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, Terraform and CDN/WAF technologies will be important, although we're equally interested in your underlying technical depth and ability to pick up the specifics of our environment. You'll also need to be comfortable participating in a 24/7 on-call rota. Experience with Bitbucket Pipelines, Ansible and monitoring tools such as Zabbix, CloudWatch, Pingdom or New Relic would be useful, as would working knowledge of PHP or Node.js and experience within PCI DSS or ISO 27001 environments., Candidates progressing from there will be invited to a more in-depth technical interview, where we'll explore both your systems administration and DevOps experience in greater detail. ## Description As a Senior Linux Systems & DevOps Engineer, you'll take a hands-on responsibility for running, troubleshooting and improving the infrastructure our platform depends on. This isn't a role focused solely on cloud provisioning and deployment pipelines. You'll work across Linux systems, web and application infrastructure, databases, networking, AWS and automation, and you'll be expected to investigate problems through the full technology stack when something isn't behaving as expected. Day-to-day, you will: * Manage, monitor and improve our production AWS and Linux infrastructure. * Run and maintain the services our platform depends on, including nginx, Apache, Redis, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch and relational databases. * Maintain and improve our infrastructure as code, configuration management and CI/CD environment using Terraform, Ansible and Bitbucket Pipelines. * Manage our CDN and WAF layer across Akamai and Cloudflare. * Monitor platform health and performance, responding to alerts and identifying opportunities to improve resilience. * Take ownership of production incidents, troubleshooting across systems, networking, databases and infrastructure to identify root cause and restore service. * Automate repetitive operational work using Python and Bash. * Participate in our shared 24/7 on-call rota once fully onboarded. To be successful, you'll have: We're looking for someone with genuine systems administration depth alongside modern DevOps capability. ## Related Videos - [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 network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Post-Quantum Cryptography: Preparing for Q-Day](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100179-post-quantum-cryptography-preparing-for-q-day) - [Streaming AI Responses in Real-Time with SSE in Next.js & NestJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1630-streaming-ai-responses-in-real-time-with-sse-in-next-js-nestjs) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
