  • Monitor infrastructure health and drive continuous improvements in reliability, resiliency, and operational efficiency.
Automation & Operational Excellence
  • Champion infrastructure automation initiatives using Ansible, AWX, and configuration management tools.
  • Develop repeatable, scalable deployment and management processes that reduce operational overhead and improve consistency.
  • Integrate monitoring, logging, and observability platforms such as OpenSearch and Elastic to enhance visibility across the environment.

Project Leadership
  • Lead projects from inception through delivery, including requirements gathering, technical design, implementation, and validation.
  • Define project scope, develop implementation plans, estimate timelines, and ensure successful outcomes.
  • Serve as a technical mentor and subject matter expert, collaborating across engineering, operations, and support teams.
What You'll Bring

  • Advanced Linux systems administration experience.
  • Proven experience with infrastructure automation and configuration management technologies, with Ansible strongly preferred.
  • Hands-on experience implementing firewalls, ACLs, and network security controls.
  • Demonstrated success designing and deploying complex, large-scale infrastructure solutions.

  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with virtualization platforms such as Proxmox.
  • Expertise with OpenSearch, Elastic Stack, or similar observability and analytics platforms.
  • Familiarity with PacketFence, Fluentd, Oxidized, and related infrastructure management tools.
