Description

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ROLE IS NOT OPEN TO SPONSORSHIP, OR C2C PARTNERSHIP WITH A VENDOR.

This is a highly technical position responsible for the architecture and design of complex Unix and Kubernetes computing environments, both on‑prem and Cloud/AWS configurations. Focus is on AIX/RHEL Administration, Kubernetes, virtualization technologies, HPE, Dell, and IBM hardware, and Disaster Recovery processes. Collaborate closely with developers and other technology personnel to develop, migrate and manage services in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud environment, and in physical data centers.

The Linux/Kubernetes Administrator is responsible for managing, maintaining, and optimizing our Linux‑based systems and Kubernetes environments. This role ensures the stability, security, and performance of our container platform by handling cluster administration, system updates, resource optimization, monitoring, troubleshooting, and automation. Primary tasks include deploying and upgrading Kubernetes clusters, managing container workloads, maintaining Linux servers, improving reliability through monitoring and alerting, implementing security best practices, and supporting development teams with consistent and well‑maintained infrastructure.
