In this role, you will work alongside senior engineers to support our operational stability and infrastructure automation. You will bridge the gap between software development and network operations, helping to build internal tools and automate manual processes. This is a hands-on learning role. You don't need to be an expert yet, but you should have a passion for Linux environments and a strong desire to improve systems using code (Python, Go, or Java).

• Tooling & Scripting: Write scripts and small internal tools using Python (or Go/Java) to help the team move faster.
• System Administration: Perform basic administration and troubleshooting tasks within our Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu) environments.
• Operational Support: assist in triaging production incidents, debugging errors, and learning how to perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
• CI/CD Monitoring: Help monitor build and release pipelines to ensure the successful deployment of our applications.
• Continuous Learning: Receive mentorship from senior engineers on best practices for code reviews, infrastructure management, and cloud technologies

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience (Bootcamps and self-taught developers welcome).
• Experience: 2-3 years of experience in development, sysadmin work, or relevant internships.
• Linux Fundamentals: Comfortable using the command line (Bash) and understanding basic file systems and permissions.
• Coding Skills: Foundational coding proficiency in at least one language: Python (preferred for automation), Java, or Go.
• Version Control: Basic familiarity with Git (committing, pushing, pulling).
• Curiosity: A genuine interest in how code is deployed and how servers work.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to configuration management tools like Ansible.
• Basic understanding of containerization (Docker) or orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Knowledge of basic networking concepts (IPs, HTTP, DNS).
• Experience with monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, or Splunk)
