Linux Administrator (Infrastructure)
About the role
We’re looking for a Linux Administrator to join our Infrastructure team, responsible for building, operating and continuously improving a private cloud infrastructure based on OpenStack and Kubernetes.
Our infrastructure supports the stable operation of a large-scale trading platform and includes 2,000+ virtual machines and 500+ physical servers, as well as a wide range of Linux systems and infrastructure services such as DNS, GitLab, Artifactory, Prometheus, Loki and Vault.
You’ll work in a team of experienced infrastructure engineers, using Scrum and Agile practices, with two-week sprints and a strong focus on automation, reliability and continuous improvement.
The position is full-time remote, with a flexible start time — anytime before 12:00 pm EET/EEST.
Why this role?
You’ll be part of the team responsible for the production environment behind products used by millions of users, working directly with development teams, helping them troubleshoot infrastructure-related issues and keep their services running reliably in production.
