This is a hands-on operational role suited to engineers early in their systems administration career who are looking to build depth across enterprise Unix/Linux environments.

5. Support configuration of basic system security settings and adherence to security benchmarks.
6. Assist with configuring access to local and SAN-based storage.
7. Monitor and tune basic system parameters (network configuration, shared memory, services).
8. Write and maintain basic Shell scripts; exposure to Perl and/or Python is a plus.
9. Assist in troubleshooting performance issues related to memory, CPU, I/O, and other system resources.
10. Support use of enterprise tools such as Veritas and Centrify.
11. Assist with RedHat Linux packaging tasks.
12. Support virtual server builds and basic administration in a VMware environment.

Requirements

1. Solid working knowledge of RedHat Linux administration; basic Solaris knowledge is an advantage.
2. Basic scripting ability (Shell required; Perl/Python a plus).
3. Understanding of fundamental OS concepts (processes, file systems, permissions, services).
4. Willingness to learn Cloud technologies (Microsoft Azure preferred) and Windows Server basics.
5. Exposure to VMware virtualization is a plus.
6. Good communication skills and ability to work within a team, following defined operational processes (incident, problem, and change management).
