• System Administration & Linux: Maintain, harden, and optimize high-performance Enterprise Linux environments to guarantee platform stability and security.

• Web & Load Balancing: Configured and managed NGINX web servers for high availability, utilizing reverse proxying, load balancing, and SSL/TLS certificate installation/termination.

• Database Administration: Managed and optimized MySQL database instances, maintaining data integrity, security, and baseline operational health.

• Monitoring & Observability: Establish proactive platform health monitoring, metrics, and alerting frameworks utilizing Zabbix.

• Automation & Scripting: Write clean, maintainable automation code using Bash and Python to streamline operational tasks and environment provisioning.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 6+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer.

• Advanced hands-on experience in Enterprise Linux administration (system internals, networking, performance tuning, and troubleshooting).

• Proven track record with Jenkins pipeline development, GitHub workflows, and managing build dependencies with Nexus Artifact Server.

• Direct experience provisioning AWS cloud services using IaC tools (e.g., Terraform or CloudFormation).

• Solid experience deploying and managing workloads in production Kubernetes clusters.

• Configured NGINX as an edge reverse proxy and load balancer with end-to-end SSL/TLS encryption.

• Managed MySQL instances, handling account permissions, backup/restore procedures, and performance monitoring.

• Practical experience setting up and configuring enterprise monitoring and alerting using Zabbix.

• Strong competency in Bash and Python for system automation and tool development.

• Independence. You do not need a PM, a Jira board, or a standing meeting to make progress.
