Hello Everyone,
Hope you are doing good
This is Raja from Tek Leaders. We have an urgent requirement below that is open with our client.
Role: Scripting Tech Lead
Location: Cincinnati, OH (Remote)
Contract role.
Role Description:
We are seeking a Scripting Tech Lead with 5+ years of progressive experience, with a primary focus on scripting, operating systems, filesystems, and networking. This role leads to the design and delivery of automation and systems-level
tooling used to operate, troubleshoot, and harden enterprise platforms. The ideal candidate is strong in Linux/Unix internals, production diagnostics, and scripting-driven automation, and can also guide backend/service development as needed.
Key Responsibilities
- Scripting & Automation Leadership (Primary): Own standards and delivery for automation using Python/Bash/Go (e.g., deployment automation, configuration management, log parsing, health checks, self-healing routines, environment readiness validation).
- Operating Systems Expertise (Primary): Lead troubleshooting and performance tuning across Linux/Unix: processes/threads, memory/CPU profiling, system calls, permissions/ACLs, service management, scheduling, and core utilities.
- Filesystem & Storage (Primary): Design and support solutions that interact with filesystems (ext4/xfs/NFS/Samba as applicable): mounts, permissions, file locking, I/O performance, capacity management, log rotation, archival, and backup/restore workflows.
- Networking & Connectivity (Primary): Diagnose and improve network behaviors: TCP/IP, DNS, routing, ports, proxies, firewalls, load balancers, TLS/SSL, latency analysis, packet-level troubleshooting concepts, and service-to-service
- connectivity patterns. Reliability & Observability: Implement operational tooling for monitoring, alerting, and incident response; create runbooks and automated diagnostics to reduce mean time to recovery (MTTR).
- Technical Leadership: Mentor engineers on scripting best practices, secure coding, production debugging, and systems thinking; lead code reviews and engineering quality gates.
- Integration & Interfaces: Expertise in Authentication and Authorization mechanism (OIDC based implementation). Build and maintain integrations between systems (file-based, API-based, event-based), ensuring robustness and clear operational behavior.
- Backend Enablement (Secondary): Support/lead development of services and APIs (Java/Spring Boot where required) to expose system capabilities or orchestration endpoints.
- Collaboration: Partner with Product, QA, and DevOps/SRE to improve stability, deployment repeatability, and platform operability.
- Plus: Experience with Point of Sale (POS)/Retail, Toshiba SkyOS, and interface/integration work.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor s or master s degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 5+ years experience with strong emphasis on scripting + systems engineering in production environments.
- Advanced proficiency in Python and/or Bash (Go optional but valued); ability to build maintainable tooling (testing, logging, error handling, packaging).
- Strong hands-on knowledge of Linux/Unix administration and troubleshooting (performance, services, permissions, process/memory analysis).
- Strong understanding of filesystems/storage concepts and operational patterns (mounts, I/O, file locks, space/inode, backup/restore).
- Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, ports, firewalls/proxies) with proven troubleshooting experience.
- Experience building/supporting integrations via REST APIs and/or messaging (Kafka/RabbitMQ) is preferred. Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform) for automation and operations is preferred.
- Excellent communication skills and experience leading/mentoring engineers in Agile environments.
