[Hiring] Senior Linux Infrastructure Engineer @Uvation

Role Description

We are looking for a highly experienced Linux Infrastructure Engineer with deep expertise in traditional Linux administration, bare metal infrastructure, and enterprise storage. This role is not focused on DevOps or cloud-native engineering. We already have a strong DevOps team and are looking for someone with extensive hands-on experience designing, building, administering, and troubleshooting large-scale Linux infrastructure.

Qualifications

• Expert-level Linux administration (Ubuntu required; Red Hat and SUSE preferred)
• Deep expertise in bare metal server deployment, architecture, and administration
• Strong understanding of server hardware, including:
  • BIOS
  • RAID
  • Firmware
  • iLO/iDRAC/IPMI
  • NICs
  • HBA cards
  • Hardware troubleshooting
• Experience designing and administering enterprise Linux infrastructure
• Advanced Linux storage administration:
  • LVM
  • XFS, EXT4
  • NFS
  • iSCSI
  • Fibre Channel SAN
  • Multipath I/O
• Strong hands-on experience with Ceph, including:
  • Cluster architecture
  • MON, OSD, MDS
  • RBD, CephFS, RGW
  • Capacity planning
  • Performance tuning
  • Failure recovery
• Strong networking knowledge (bonding, VLANs, routing, MTU, DNS, DHCP)
• Experience with high availability, clustering, and disaster recovery
• Strong troubleshooting skills across Linux OS, hardware, networking, and storage
• Bash and Python scripting for automation

Requirements

• Kubernetes infrastructure (especially storage integration)
• VMware or KVM
• Ansible
• AWS/Azure exposure

Not Looking For

• Candidates whose experience is primarily CI/CD pipeline engineering
• Engineers focused mainly on Terraform, GitOps, or container platforms
• Cloud-only administrators with limited bare metal or infrastructure experience

Ideal Candidate

Someone who has spent years running enterprise Linux environments, building servers from the hardware up, architecting storage platforms, and solving complex OS, hardware, and storage issues. DevOps experience is a plus, but traditional Linux infrastructure expertise is the primary requirement.
