  • Profile, analyze, and optimize legacy software and the supporting system stack
  • Configure, harden, and maintain RHEL 8 systems, including SELinux policies
  • Support and extend IdM/FreeIPA and PKI infrastructure
  • Contribute to virtualization environments (ESXi and KVM) and associated networking

Qualifications

Required

  • Strong understanding of Unix/Linux systems, with solid experience on RHEL 8

  • Strong understanding of PKI concepts and practical implementation
  • Proficient with networking concepts

  • Proficient with Ansible for configuration management and automation
  • Experience with virtualization platforms, including ESXi and KVM
  • Solid understanding of software design concepts, patterns, tools, and best practices
  • Basic understanding of virtualization and hypervisor configuration

Desired

  • Experience with a popular CI/CD system (GitLab Pipelines, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or similar)
  • Familiarity with device boot processes (BIOS, UEFI, PXE)
  • Ability to code in additional languages such as Golang, TypeScript, C, or C++

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
