Job Description:
G.Digital are back with one of our favourite partners in the Tech for good space who are in need of a Senior Linux Wizard to oversee a new exciting project.
You’ll be joining a small, highly skilled team working on a large-scale, embedded server platform — built on Ubuntu, running on real hardware, and powering production systems used by thousands.

What You’ll Do
* Maintain and optimise Ubuntu-based Linux systems running in a private cloud environment.

* Manage production databases (PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Redis, Kafka) with a focus on reliability and scalability.

What We’re Looking For
* Deep experience running Linux systems in production — especially Ubuntu.
* Confidence in managing, tuning, and troubleshooting relational and distributed databases.
* Strong understanding of networking concepts — experience with VPNs, routing, and security best practices.
* Comfortable working independently, but with strong communication and documentation habits.
* Ability to collaborate with engineers across backend, DevOps, and infrastructure teams.
What We Offer
* Remote-first working environment (UK-based).
* Modern, straightforward hiring process (no take-home tests or endless rounds).
* A team that values trust, autonomy, and getting things done properly.
Hiring Process
* Intro Call – 20 minutes with the hiring manager to understand your experience and interests.
* 90 minute interview including – Focused conversation on Linux internals, debugging, and systems architecture.
* Team Session – Meet with peers to explore collaboration fit.
