Role purpose

Manage and continuously improve Linux-based infrastructure to keep services secure, resilient, and high-performing. Administer and safeguard enterprise database platforms to ensure data integrity, availability, performance, and recoverability. Leverage automation, container platforms, and AI-enabled tooling to accelerate operations, improve reliability, and reduce manual effort.

Key responsibilities

- Provision, configure, and support Linux servers across onprem, virtualised, and cloud environments.

- Install, configure, patch, upgrade, and maintain database platforms (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL) in line with operational standards.

- Implement OS security hardening, patching, and vulnerability remediation aligned with internal security requirements and audit expectations.

- Manage privileged access and identity controls, including sudo policies, SSH hardening, PAM, and certificate/key lifecycle management.

- Monitor infrastructure and database health (CPU, memory, disk, I/O, latency, logs, query performance) and respond to alerts within agreed SLAs.

- Lead incident troubleshooting and problem management, including root cause analysis (RCA), corrective actions, and preventative improvements.

- Automate repeatable tasks using Bash and Python; build operational tooling and adopt Infrastructure as Code and configuration management (e.g., Ansible).

- Manage storage and performance tuning (LVM, filesystems, mount options), backups, restore validation, DR readiness, and capacity planning.

- Deliver protected change management: plan, implement, document, validate,



and roll back changes with minimal risk and downtime.

- Operate and support containerised workloads where applicable, including platform integration and operational readiness for Kubernetes-based deployments.

- Use AI-assisted tools responsibly (e.g., log/alert summarisation, runbook drafting, code/scripting acceleration, pattern detection in incidents) to improve efficiency and reduce time-to-resolution.

- Collaborate with application, network, security, and platform engineering teams to deliver reliable releases and stable production services.

Required skills / experience

- 5+ years experience in a Linux and/or Database Administration role in an enterprise environment.

- Strong Linux administration (RHEL/Ubuntu/SUSE) and core services (systemd, cron, networking, package management).

- Solid troubleshooting skills across TCP/IP, DNS, TLS/certificates, performance bottlenecks, and log analysis.

- Strong automation mindset with scripting skills in Bash and Python (including building utilities for monitoring, reporting, and operational tasks).

- Experience with monitoring/observability and log platforms (metrics, dashboards, alert tuning, event correlation).

- Working knowledge of virtualisation and containers (VMware/KVM, Docker/Podman); Kubernetes experience is desirable (deployments, troubleshooting, basic cluster concepts).

- Familiarity with AI-enabled operational tooling (e.g., AI copilots for scripting/documentation, AIOps capabilities for event correlation) and an understanding of safe usage in regulated environments.
