## About the Role

* Systems administration or infrastructure engineering roles running Proxmox, KVM, or similar hypervisors at scale

 * Bare-metal and multi-site data center operations, including networking and hardware lifecycle, * System administration: 3 years (Preferred)

## Description

We're hiring a Systems Administrator (title flexible - we'll shape it around the right person, and seniority).

This is a hands-on infrastructure role focused on building, operating, and hardening the systems that power our multi-site platform. You'll work across hypervisors, distributed storage, networking, and automation - setting up and managing environments like Proxmox, configuring Ceph clusters, deploying and tuning hypervisors, and keeping our bare-metal and virtualized infrastructure reliable and efficient. You'll own real production systems end-to-end, from initial racking and configuration through ongoing operations and improvement.

Duties

 * Administer Proxmox Hypervisors, Linux, VMware virtualization, DNS, DHCP, VPN, firewalls, and more.
 * Manage server backup and recovery, storage, RAID controllers, configuration management, and system tuning.
 * Troubleshoot operating systems, applications, networks, and performance issues; provide technical support and document resolutions.
 * Automate routine administration with Bash, shell scripting, JavaScript, or other scripting tools; support software implementation and administration.

Who You Are

 * High-agency and driven with a bias to action.
 * Get energized taking on hard, unconventional, and unique challenges from 0 to 1.
 * Own and solve ambiguous, high-stakes problems that don't fit neatly into any department or job description.
 * Comfortable with Linux systems, hypervisors, and distributed storage.
 * Prefer understanding how the stack actually works over treating it as a black box.
