• Leverage data to inform strategies and decision-making with a focus on performance metrics
• You will be expected to build and refine tools that ensure our systems remain high-performing and efficient, while supporting our technology evolution in a controlled manner
• Lead initiatives in performance tuning through hardware and OS optimization
• Develop and maintain tooling to automate tasks related to server provisioning and storage management
• Implement infrastructure services that adhere to infrastructure-as-code principles, ensuring seamless scalability and reliability.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering or similar field of study
• 5+ years of experience in Linux engineering, debugging, administration, and OS system provisioning (PXE/DHCP/TFTP/Grub)
• Extensive experience with configuration management at scale
• Proficiency in a range of system/network tools and services including EBPF, tcpdump, strace, nmcli (Network Manager), systemd, ntp/ptp, lsof, nc, nmap and NFS/S3 storage
• Proficiency with networking fundamentals including DNS, TCP/UDP/multicast etc.
• Deep understanding of Linux and its network stack
• Solid understanding of storage systems and how they integrate with Linux
• Ability to manage and implement large-scale infrastructure projects.
• You are naturally curious about hardware and software, and how these interact
• A systematic approach to problem solving
• You are able to clearly explain your thoughts through written and verbal communication, ask the right questions, and are not afraid to challenge or defend a strategy
• Deep experience in performing system performance analysis and tuning.
• Experience in use of virtualization/VMWare for compute infrastructure.
