Jobbeschreibung

We are looking for a Build and Deployment Engineer (Linux) to deliver software builds, packaging and deployments for EUMETSAT's mission-critical Linux ground-segment systems and to support new projects onto standardised, automated delivery workflows.

Background

The Computer and Systems Management (CSM) competence area, part of the Infrastructures for IT and Data Division (I2D) at EUMETSAT, provides all levels of system and software builds and deployments for the operational ground-segment infrastructure, alongside computing platforms, data storage and distribution, network services and infrastructure security for multi-mission environments.

You shall support

• Perform ticket-based software builds, packaging, deployments and activations on established Linux systems, both critical and uncritical, triggered by the daily Configuration Review Board and service desk
• Maintain and evolve automated, unattended installation and provisioning solutions (AutoYaST, Kickstart, Orcharhino, PXE/TFTP) and Ansible-based configuration management
• Create and maintain build, packaging and deployment implementations for software and data releases and patches, and maintain a common baseline for automation tools and scripts
• Support developers and delivery partners on build and versioning strategies, and advise incoming projects on how to deliver software and systems to the team
• Assess documentation related to formal deliveries and acceptance tests, and produce the documentation needed to transition projects into routine build and deployment
• Resolve anomaly reports, handle file copy and storage requests across security domains, and provide user support on the service tooling

Skills and experiences

• Sound understanding of software configuration management principles and change management processes
• Essential knowledge and experience in using Unix/Linux command line tools
• Automated OS installation solutions: Linux AutoYaST and Kickstart, Orcharhino (Foreman/Satellite), and unattended, centralised software installation mechanisms (PXE/TFTP)
• Software provisioning, configuration management and deployment tooling: Ansible
• Software build environments and tools such as Ant, Maven, autoconf/automake and make
• Version control systems such as SVN, git and GitLab
• Software packaging formats such as RPM, PKG, LPP, tgz, ZIP and DEB
• Scripting languages, e.g. bash, ksh, csh, Perl and Python
• Networking, distributed applications and TCP/IP services
• High-level programming languages: C/C++, C# and Java
• Administration and troubleshooting of distributed systems, and good experience in VMware virtualisation
• Good knowledge and experience in security: principles and concepts, hardening techniques, secure architecture and protocols, penetration and vulnerability testing and tools
• Experience in a large-scale operational or production environment characterised by custom applications in addition to standard software, running both client and server side, with high-availability (24x7) requirements
• Container technologies (Docker, Podman, Kubernetes), OpenText Dimensions CM, basic Windows system administration, MySQL and Oracle databases, network services (NIS, LDAP, NFS, DNS, SNMP, FTP, NTP), high-availability and cluster software, or distributed file systems are considered an advantage
• University degree (Master's or equivalent) in a relevant discipline, or equivalent proven experience, with at least 5 years of relevant experience
• Strong technical documentation skills and effective written and verbal communication in English

General Work Skills

• Problem solving
• Good analytical skills
• High degree of interpersonal awareness
• Experience in working as part of a multicultural team
• Ability to work autonomously and to perform regular, e.g. weekly, context switch
