We are seeking an experienced Linux/Unix System Administrator. In this role, you will be primarily responsible for managing, configuring, and maintaining a traditional server infrastructure based on Debian and Red Hat distributions.

Key Responsibilities- System Management & Maintenance: Install, configure, and administer Linux operating systems in production environments (Debian and Red Hat/RHEL)
- Automation & Patching: Implement and maintain automated update systems (e.g., unattended-upgrades on Debian, dnf-automatic / yum-cron on Red Hat) ensuring zero or minimal service disruption
- Troubleshooting: Perform log analysis, monitor system performance, and provide timely resolution for system infrastructure incidents
- Security Hardening: Manage user permissions, access controls, and local firewalls (iptables/nftables, firewalld)
- Scripting: Create and maintain Bash scripts (or equivalent) for routine task automation and backup management
- Experience: At least 5 years of experience working as a Linux System Administrator
- Operating Systems: Deep operational knowledge of Debian and Red Hat distributions (system commands, package management via apt and dnf/yum)
- Web Technologies: Proven experience with Apache configuration (Virtual Hosts management, modules, SSL/TLS certificates)
- Scripting: Proficient in writing Bash, Python and Perl scripts for system automation
- Networking: Solid understanding of core networking protocols and services (TCP/IP, DNS, SSH, DHCP, HTTP/S)
- Mindset: Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently
- Familiarity with Configuration Management tools (especially Ansible, useful for orchestrating multi-node updates)
- Experience with alternative web servers or reverse proxies (Nginx, HAProxy)
- Relevant Linux certifications (e.g., RHCSA/RHCE, Linux Foundation LFCS/LFCE, or LPI)
- Knowledge of infrastructure monitoring tools (e.g., Zabbix, Nagios, Prometheus)
