One small request: skip the “tailor my resume with AI” button. We’re a small team that reads every resume, and we can tell. Fix your typos if you want, but please don’t let AI invent experience you don’t have.


About the Company


We’re partnering with a globally recognized, multi-billion-dollar organization with 20+ offices worldwide and thousands of employees across several continents. Their infrastructure supports critical global operations, and they’re actively modernizing it with automation and AI work already underway. This is a tenured, low-turnover team, and the role is open due to an internal promotion.


About the Role


You’ll help support and improve a large enterprise infrastructure environment spanning thousands of systems across multiple regions, with a heavy focus on Linux, virtualization, identity and access, and automation. This is not a help desk or junior systems administration role.


  • Keep a large global environment stable, from access issues to major outages
  • Drive modernization, automation, migration, and security work
  • Manage identity and access infrastructure across multiple regions
  • Support cloud technologies that complement a primarily on-prem environment
  • Cover an on-call rotation (about every 8 weeks) and a monthly maintenance window


What You’ll Work With:


  • Heavy, hands-on Linux engineering, administration, and support with some Windows Server
  • Enterprise-scale virtualization platforms, including Hyper-V
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
  • A primarily on-prem environment with selective cloud
  • Container and automation technologies that cut manual effort
  • Enterprise monitoring, patching, and systems management


Who Thrives Here


  • Strong infrastructure fundamentals and real enterprise-scale experience
  • Enjoys solving complex problems and owning production systems
  • Comfortable in business-critical environments where uptime and security matter
  • Collaborative, curious, coachable, low ego, and looking for a long-term home

Salary: $130,000 - $150,000 + Bonus + Benefits
