[Hiring] Server Engineer @True North ITG

Role Description

TrueNorth ITG is hiring a Server Engineer to own the health, growth and resilience of our Proxmox and Ceph virtualization platform and the backend stack around it. This is a senior, hands-on infrastructure role. You can design and stand up a Proxmox/Ceph cluster from bare metal to production on your own, you understand how every layer fits together, and you will get on a plane when a data center needs hands.

• Proxmox / Ceph (most important): a very high level of depth, with ZFS and KVM alongside.
• Enterprise networking: routing, switching and SD-WAN at production scale.
• Physical server hardware: multi-vendor build, repair and upgrade work.
• Edge security: firewall administration across major platforms.

Qualifications

• Proxmox, Ceph, ZFS and KVM (essential, very high level)
• 5+ years running Proxmox VE and KVM in production, including multi-node clusters, HA and live migration
• Deep, hands-on Ceph experience: you have built clusters from scratch, tuned them under load and recovered them from real failures
• Strong ZFS knowledge: pool design, ARC/L2ARC/SLOG, replication and performance tuning
• Able to design and deploy a complete cluster alone, and to explain how compute, storage, network and backup layers interact
• Strong Linux administration (Debian preferred) and Bash or Python scripting
• Working knowledge of OSPF and BGP in production environments
• Hands-on experience building, servicing and upgrading rack servers from Gigabyte, Supermicro, Dell, HP and other OEMs
• Experience administering Cisco ASA, Netgate/pfSense and FortiGate firewalls

Requirements

• Clear written and verbal communication, including documenting your own work
• Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, multi-client environment
• Willingness to travel and to join an on-call rotation
