• Monitor system resource utilisation, scalability, and performance of compute nodes and platform services.
• Perform routine system health checks, vulnerability assessments, and patch management
• Troubleshoot and resolve Linux OS issues, compute environment problems, network connectivity concerns, storage issues, and node‑level failures

Platform Management & User Operations

• Handle daily operational requests including:
  • User management, access provisioning, and permissions updates
  • Data access requests and entitlement adjustments
  • Break‑fix support and incident response
  • Ticket queue management, documenting work in accordance with SLAs
• Collaborate with engineering, analytics, and DevOps teams to support environment stability and improvements
• Ensure high availability of critical platform services used by computation, data analysis, and ETL workflows

• Provide audit support annually through evidence collection, system reports, configuration exports, and control demonstrations

Automation & Reliability Engineering

• Develop automation scripts using Bash, Python, or similar languages to streamline operational processes
• Enhance system reliability through:
  • Infrastructure‑as‑Code templates (e.g., Terraform, Ansible)
  • Automated deployments and environment builds
  • Monitoring and alerting improvements
• Participate in capacity planning, performance tuning, and architectural enhancements for high‑volume compute and analytics workloads

Systems Engineering in a Computational Analytics Environment

• Manage compute clusters supporting data science, analytics, and batch workloads
• Oversee job scheduling environments (Kubernetes jobs, Cron, workflow schedulers)
• Support distributed file systems, object storage, or high‑throughput data pipelines as needed
• Maintain security and operational continuity across multi‑node environments

Required Skills:

Required

• 3–6 years of hands‑on experience with Ubuntu/Linux system administration
