Senior Cloud Engineer — Linux, Networking & AWS

2+ Years of Experience | Bengaluru, India | Full-Time

If you've spent your time at a large, well-run service organisation keeping Linux systems, networks, and AWS environments genuinely reliable — not just ticket-closed — this role was written for you.

axcess.io is a Top-Tier AWS Partner headquartered in Bengaluru, with active presence in the United States. We work on some of the most architecturally interesting cloud problems in the region, and we do it as a lean, senior-heavy team. You will not be sitting in queues waiting for tickets — you will be working directly alongside the Department Head from day one.

A note from the hiring manager: We are not looking for someone who has memorised command syntax. We want someone who has kept real systems up — patched a Linux box under pressure, traced a network issue back to the actual cause, and cares enough about the outcome to fix it properly, not just close the ticket. If you're currently at a large service company and quietly better than the tickets you're handed, we would very much like to meet you.

What you'll be doing

- Linux Systems Administration — Manage, patch, and troubleshoot production Linux environments (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu). You will be fixing root causes, not restarting services.
- Cloud Infrastructure Support — Day-to-day operations on AWS — EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, RDS — provisioning, monitoring, and keeping environments healthy.
- Network Operations — DNS, routing, firewalls, VPNs, load balancers, security groups. You diagnose connectivity issues across on-prem and cloud, not just escalate them.
- Incident Ownership — Own P1/P2 incidents end-to-end.




- Documentation & Runbooks — Maintain SOPs so operational knowledge doesn't live only in your head.
- Client Collaboration — You will interface directly with clients.

What we're looking for
- Linux, hands-on — Real administration experience (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu): shell scripting, systemd, package management, troubleshooting under pressure.
- AWS foundations — Working knowledge of EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, and RDS in a live workplace, beyond tutorials.
- Networking fundamentals — DNS, subnetting, routing, firewalls, VPNs.
- Based in Bengaluru, or ready to relocate.
- Problem-solving orientation.

Nice to have
- CCNA — a strong plus for the networking side of this role.
- RHCSA or RHCE — a strong plus; evidence of structured Linux depth, not a substitute for hands-on experience.
- AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner or Solutions Architect Associate.
- Scripting exposure — Python or Bash.

What's on offer
- Competitive compensation — competitively benchmarked for the right candidate.
- Direct access to senior leadership — you will work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Department Head, not filtered through layers of middle management.
- Certification support — we back the AWS and Red Hat certifications that make sense for your growth, with time and resources.
- A genuine growth path into deeper cloud and DevOps engineering as you build depth.

If this reads like something you have been waiting for, we would like to hear from you. Send us your CV, a brief note on what you have built or supported, and — if you have one — a link to anything you are proud of. — The Hiring Team, axcess.io
