We are seeking a Senior Linux Engineer who wants deep ownership of production Linux systems, modern virtualization infrastructure, and the automation that keeps mission-critical environments reliable, secure, and scalable. This role is hands-on and high-impact: you will administer and improve Linux platforms running on CloudStack and KVM, build and refine operational tooling, strengthen observability and alerting, and help shape the engineering standards that govern our environments. This position is ideal for an engineer who wants to work on systems that matter—someone who is motivated by real operational responsibility, enjoys solving hard infrastructure problems, and takes pride in building stable, supportable platforms. You will work across platform operations, monitoring, automation, and customer-facing delivery, contributing both day-to-day technical execution and longer-term improvements in reliability, consistency, and operational maturity. While this is not a people-management role, it does require technical leadership. The Senior Linux Engineer will help define best practices, influence engineering standards, mentor others through strong documentation and collaboration, and serve as a trusted subject matter expert for Linux systems, telemetry, performance, and infrastructure reliability across the organization.
Job Responsibility:
Manage a fleet of Linux KVM hypervisors and VMs using Ansible
Evaluate, propose, and build tooling to support and optimize operations in a CloudStack / KVM virtualization platform
Administer and maintain a CloudStack environment running KVM hypervisors
Participate in estimation and execution of customer-facing Linux systems projects
Define, implement, and respond to internal Linux operational alerting
Define and implement operational reports and dashboards for capacity management and other operational needs
Ensure high-quality, consistent telemetry across all environments
Lead the technical diagnoses of Linux system Problems as part of the ITIL problem management process
Define and publish organizational standards for Linux server infrastructure
Implement standards as infrastructure-as-code using configuration management tools, Ansible, Terraform
Establish and maintain security hardening standards across all Linux environments
Develop configuration management pipelines to manage drift across Linux environments using GitHub and Ansible
Stay current with emerging technologies and recommend improvements to existing infrastructure
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate Linux systems with development pipelines
Mentor junior engineers and create technical documentation for knowledge transfer
Provide expert guidance on system behavior, failure modes, performance patterns, and telemetry-driven insights
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Networking, Telecommunications, or related technical field
Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) or equivalent Linux certifications
CompTIA Linux+ or LPIC-2 certification
VMware Certified Professional (VCP) or equivalent virtualization certification
5+ years of advanced Linux system administration experience in enterprise environments
Proficiency with KVM virtualization technologies and management
Hands-on experience with administration and cloud orchestration in CloudStack or a similar product (OpenStack, etc.)
Strong background in Network Management Systems (NMS) integration and configuration
Advanced scripting skills in Bash, Python, or go
Experience with configuration management tools (Ansible, Terraform, or Chef)
Deep understanding of TCP/IP networking, routing, and firewall configuration
Linux security hardening and compliance framework implementation experience
Customer-facing project delivery experience with strong communication skills
Proven hands-on experience operating Linux systems (RHEL, Ubuntu, CentOS) at scale, including performance tuning, benchmarking, hardening, and troubleshooting
Demonstrated experience with observability tooling such as Splunk, ElasticSearch, Graphite, Zabbix, log pipelines, and metrics systems
Proficiency with Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, and infrastructure automation frameworks such as Ansible, Chef, or Salt
Experience designing or supporting disaster recovery, high-availability, and SLA-driven systems for mission-critical services
Background in security operations or tooling such as MS Defender, Nessus, Carbon Black, CrowdStrike, IAM, or FIM solutions
