Job Description:
We are seeking a Linux Server Engineer to design, build, and maintain our Linux infrastructure. This role focuses on hands-on server lifecycle management from provisioning (bare metal or cloud) to optimization and decommissioning ensuring systems are reliable, scalable, and high performing. You will serve as a core technical resource supporting the stability and growth of our data center or cloud environment.
Responsibilities:
Provisioning & Deployment: Build and scale server fleets using automated imaging tools (e.g., PXE boot, Kickstart, Cloud-init).
Kernel & OS Management: Manage kernel updates, library dependencies, and OS migrations with zero-downtime strategies.
Storage Architecture: Configure and manage complex storage stacks, including LVM, RAID levels, and multi-pathing for SAN/NAS connectivity.
High Availability (HA): Deploy and manage clustering solutions like Keepalived, HAProxy, or Pacemaker/Corosync.
Integration: Ensure seamless integration between Linux servers and centralized identity management (Active Directory/LDAP/FreeIPA).
Security Hardening: Implement CIS benchmarks and manage firewall configurations (firewalld/nftables) to protect the server perimeter.
