Job description

Job Overview :

We are looking for a highly experienced Linux Infrastructure Engineer with deep expertise in traditional Linux administration, bare metal infrastructure, and enterprise storage. This role is not focused on DevOps or cloud-native engineering. We already have a strong DevOps team and are looking for someone with extensive hands-on experience designing, building, administering, and troubleshooting large-scale Linux infrastructure.

    Key Responsibility & Required Skills

    • Expert-level Linux administration (Ubuntu required; Red Hat and SUSE preferred)
    • Deep expertise in bare metal server deployment, architecture, and administration
    • Strong understanding of server hardware, including BIOS, RAID, firmware, iLO/iDRAC/IPMI, NICs, HBA cards, and hardware troubleshooting
    • Experience designing and administering enterprise Linux infrastructure
    • Advanced Linux storage administration:
      • LVM
      • XFS, EXT4
      • NFS
      • iSCSI
      • Fibre Channel SAN
      • Multipath I/O
    • Strong hands-on experience with Ceph, including:
      • Cluster architecture
      • MON, OSD, MDS
      • RBD, CephFS, RGW
      • Capacity planning
      • Performance tuning
      • Failure recovery
    • Strong networking knowledge (bonding, VLANs, routing, MTU, DNS, DHCP)
    • Experience with high availability, clustering, and disaster recovery
    • Strong troubleshooting skills across Linux OS, hardware, networking, and storage
    • Bash and Python scripting for automation

    Nice to Have

    • Kubernetes infrastructure (especially storage integration)
    • VMware or KVM
    • Ansible
    • AWS/Azure exposure

    We are not looking for

    • Candidates whose experience is primarily CI/CD pipeline engineering
    • Engineers focused mainly on Terraform, GitOps, or container platforms
    • Cloud-only administrators with limited bare metal or infrastructure experience

    Ideal candidate: Someone who has spent years running enterprise Linux environments, building servers from the hardware up, architecting storage platforms, and solving complex OS, hardware, and storage issues. DevOps experience is a plus, but traditional Linux infrastructure expertise is the primary requirement.
