Magento 2 Server Administrator
We are looking for a full-time Server Administrator to manage and maintain our Magento 2 website in a production environment.
- Monitor servers continuously and respond quickly to issues to minimize downtime.
- Manage and optimize AWS infrastructure and core services, including Linux.
- Administer and tune the web stack: Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis, Varnish, and OpenSearch.
- Improve website speed, reliability, and stability through performance tuning and capacity planning.
- Configure and maintain Cloudflare and AWS WAF to protect the site while preserving legitimate traffic.
- Reduce bot traffic and hostile activity without blocking real customers, including VPN users where applicable.
- Own operational hygiene: manage backups, updates, log retention, and server alerts.
- Collaborate with our Magento developers when server-side changes or debugging are needed, translating app requirements into safe infrastructure actions.
We expect proactive ownership, clear communication, and independent problem-solving when priorities shift during incidents or performance investigations.
We need a candidate with real, hands-on experience administering Magento 2 production servers. You should be comfortable operating in the full stack of infrastructure, security, and performance for an online storefront.
- Magento 2 production experience: proven track record managing Magento 2 in live environments.
- Linux & AWS expertise: strong daily experience with Linux administration and AWS services.
- Web stack proficiency: solid knowledge of Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis, Varnish, and OpenSearch.
- Security & edge protection: ability to configure Cloudflare and AWS WAF correctly and safely.
- Incident readiness: you can monitor systems, diagnose root causes, and resolve issues quickly.
- Performance mindset: you proactively look for bottlenecks and implement improvements that measurably increase speed and stability.
- Reliability practices: you manage backups, updates, logs, and alerting responsibly.
- Traffic protection: you can prevent bots and attacks while avoiding false positives that impact real customers.
- Collaboration: you work effectively with Magento developers and can explain server-side constraints and recommendations.
Soft skills we value: we prefer proactive problem solvers who can work independently, document decisions clearly, and communicate status updates calmly during incidents. Full-time availability is required.
- Full-time remote work, allowing you to manage production systems from anywhere.
- Ownership over a critical Magento 2 environment with clear responsibility for performance, security, and stability.
- Collaboration with Magento developers when server changes or investigations are required.
If you match the requirements and enjoy taking independent ownership of live infrastructure, we’d like to review your profile.
