As a Senior Linux DevOps Engineer, you'll shape a highly available, secure, and automated infrastructure, by spanning global data centers to containerized Kubernetes evironments. You'll work with modern tools like Prometheus, Grafana Loki, Ansible, and NGINX, directly impacting system performance, stability, and security. What makes this role stand out is the mix of deep technical work, freedom to drive automation, and responsibility for a mission-critical platform.
Activities
- Design, implement, and maintain monitoring systems using Prometheus and logging solutions with Grafana Loki to ensure system health, performance, and rapid issue detection.
- Deploy, configure, and optimize Linux applications like HAProxy, NGINX, and other critical services to ensure high availability and scalability.
- Drive Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automation using Ansible, enabling scalable, repeatable, and reliable infrastructure deployments.
- Oversee Linux systems across global data centers, ensuring uptime, implementing failover strategies, and applying security best practices (e.g., SELinux, firewallD, OpenSCAP).
- Assist in the operation and monitoring of containerized workloads in Kubernetes environments.
- Operate and enhance Utimaco’s cybersecurity platform, ensuring seamless service delivery
