About the Role
We’re looking for a Linux Administrator to join our Infrastructure team, responsible for building, operating, and continuously improving a private cloud infrastructure based on OpenStack and Kubernetes.
Our infrastructure supports the stable operation of a large-scale trading platform and includes 2,000+ virtual machines and 500+ physical servers, as well as a wide range of Linux systems and infrastructure services such as DNS, GitLab, Artifactory, Prometheus, Loki, and Vault.
You’ll work in a team of experienced infrastructure engineers, using Scrum and Agile practices, with two-week sprints and a strong focus on automation, reliability, and continuous improvement.
