- Develop tooling to support distributed, auditable systems administration
- Write and maintain process, policy, and procedural documentation for the infrastructure organization
Requirements
- A minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in infrastructure or systems engineering, including direct operational ownership of production systems
- Experience with all aspects of remote management of physical hardware infrastructure colocated at hosting facilities
- Deep Linux systems administration experience, such as Red Hat or Debian, at scale
- Hands-on experience with core networking, including Cisco hardware, DNS, load balancing, and traffic management
- Experience with enterprise storage and backup systems
- Proven track record automating infrastructure using tools such as Ansible, Puppet, or similar technologies
- Proficiency in Python or a similar language for infrastructure tooling and automation
- Production experience with GCP, including Compute Engine, networking, storage, and IAM
