Technology Lead – Linux & Cloud-native infrastructure
As the Technology Lead Linux, you will be a key technical expert responsible for the reliability and stability of the core infrastructure ecosystem. At TVH, some of our mission critical systems run on Linux; therefore, your expertise will ensure the resilience and scalability of our business operations. In this role, you will bridge the gap between traditional enterprise Linux stability and modern cloud-native architectures. Whether they reside on prem or in the cloud. You are a key player to shape the technology roadmap, implementing a culture of "Infrastructure as Code" (IaC). Your primary weapon of choice will be the Ansible Automation Platform, transforming manual processes into highly orchestrated, self-healing workflows.
Your role and responsibilities
Roadmapping: Influence, shape, maintain, and execute the technology roadmap for our Linux infrastructure, ensuring it aligns with business requirements, growth and modern cloud/hybrid trends.
Automation: Serve as the technical owner for the Ansible Automation Platform. Design and implement robust automation frameworks for provisioning, configuration management, patching, and compliance.
Infrastructure Guardian: Ensure maximum uptime, performance tuning, and security hardening of the Linux environments hosting our core ecosystems. On prem or in the cloud.
Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Guide, mentor, and elevate the skills of system engineers. Establish best practices, code review standards for Ansible playbooks, and documentation guidelines.
Lifecycle & Vulnerability Management: Oversee OS lifecycle management, upgrades, and security patching, minimizing maintenance windows through automated updates.
Vendor & Stakeholder Alignment: Collaborate with the PM office, application teams, tech leads, architects and security officers to ensure maximum uptime and on time delivery.

Linux Mastery: Deep, production-proven experience administering enterprise Linux distributions (e.g., Red Hat Enterprise Linux/RHEL,SUSE) in high-availability environments.
Ansible Champion: Expertise with Ansible Automation Platform (AAP), Ansible Tower/AWX, creating complex roles, collections, and integrating Ansible with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab, Jenkins). Experience with Terraform is a major plus.
Infrastructure Familiarity: Solid understanding of hosting large-scale ecosystems on Linux, including storage clustering and high-availability (HA) concepts.

Containerization & Orchestration: Proven knowledge on Kubernetes (K8s) architecture and multi-cluster management using SUSE Rancher. Solid understanding of container runtimes (Docker, containerd)
Security & Compliance: Strong knowledge of Linux security frameworks.
Forward Thinking: Ability to look past daily tickets and conceptualize long-term improvements.
Communication: Capability to translate complex technical infrastructure roadmaps into business value
Problem Solver: A root-cause-analysis mindset rather than a "quick fix" mentality.
