About the Role

• Guide platform direction, influence standards, and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
• Work closely with the retiring engineer to absorb institutional knowledge and ensure continuity.

Requirements

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Expertise: Strong hands-on experience with RHEL administration, patching, upgrades, and lifecycle management.
• Ansible: Experience with Ansible for automation, configuration management, or infrastructure-as-code.
• Scripting: Proficiency in Bash; Python scripting is a strong plus.
• Enterprise Scale Operations: Background supporting large, high-availability environments with strict SLAs.
• Virtualization: Experience with enterprise virtualization platforms (VMware or similar).
