About the job

You will be tasked with everything from security hardening to industry-leading standards (CIS, NIST) to implementing containerised applications and orchestrating complex OS upgrades. It is a role designed for a problem-solver who thrives in virtual environments and enjoys the challenge of integrating diverse security, monitoring, and backup solutions into a seamless, high-performance architecture.
Key Responsibilities
* Design, build, and integrate Linux-based operating systems (primarily Red Hat).
* Execute server provisioning within virtual environments and manage OS version upgrades.
* Implement security hardening (CIS/NIST) and threat remediation/mitigation.
* Deploy, configure, and troubleshoot vendor monitoring tools, integrating them with Active Directory and backup solutions.
* Build Network and Infrastructure management tools using SNMP, Syslog, and IP networking.
* Produce high-quality High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) documentation.
* Collaborate on project delivery plans and technical roadmaps.
