  • Estimating effort for your tasks and helping with prioritization and release planning.
  • Keeping an eye out for active defects and communicating them early to maintain uptime and performance.
  • Join the on-call rotation to help resolve application issues outside of standard business hours.

  • At least 3 years of hands-on Linux system administration experience.
  • At least 3 years of network administration experience.
  • Scripting skills in Shell, Python, or similar languages are a big plus.
  • Solid grasp of basic switching, routing, load balancing, and running operating systems or services at scale.
  • A proven track record of juggling multiple tasks effectively in a fast-moving environment.
