This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Linux Operations Engineer based in India.

We are looking for an experienced Linux Operations Engineer to support critical hardware and software infrastructure during live professional sporting events.
In this fully remote role, you will oversee real-time system monitoring, Linux administration, network troubleshooting, and remote hardware support.
You will help ensure the reliability and performance of advanced sports technology combining embedded sensors, wireless communications, and real-time data processing.
Working closely with an international engineering team, you will serve as a key technical contact during scheduled events across North America.
You will proactively monitor infrastructure, diagnose technical incidents, and guide on-site personnel through equipment installation and troubleshooting procedures.
This position offers an opportunity to work with innovative IoT and edge computing technologies in a fast-paced, event-driven environment.

Accountabilities

As a Linux Operations Engineer, you will be responsible for maintaining infrastructure reliability, resolving technical issues, and providing operational support before, during, and after live events. Your main responsibilities will include:

• Live Event Operations:

  • Perform pre-event system checks approximately three hours before scheduled events.

  • Verify remote connectivity, system telemetry, and time synchronization.

  • Monitor infrastructure throughout live events and remain available for approximately one hour afterward.
