Job Description
Linux Systems Engineer
Are you ready to accelerate your career in a technically challenging and meaningful environment?
We’re looking for a Linux Systems Engineer to join a tight-knit internal IT team supporting a mission-critical infrastructure that underpins life-saving technology used across the globe. You’ll play a key role in deploying, upgrading, and maintaining software and infrastructure systems across multiple environments.
This is a hands-on, high-expectation role ideal for someone who wants to be technically stretched, sharpen their skills, and work with a leader committed to making you one of the best professionals in the industry. If you're comfortable in a Linux terminal, confident with scripting, and hungry to learn in a complex real-world environment, this could be your proving ground.
What You’ll Be Doing
Supporting and improving a globally distributed infrastructure estate with varied Linux systems (Debian/Ubuntu)
Managing live database systems (MySQL/MongoDB), backups, and performance tuning
Troubleshooting day-to-day technical issues — expect some days to be quiet and others to be all-hands-on-deck
Working alongside sysadmins and software engineers on infrastructure enhancements and automation
What You’ll Need
Strong Linux command line and scripting experience (Bash, etc.) – 80% of your time
Working knowledge of Windows environments – 20%
Solid understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs)
Experience with virtualization (VMWare/Hyper-V)
Exposure to cloud technologies (AWS essential; Azure/GCP a bonus)
Nice to Have
Experience with customer-facing deployments or upgrades
Familiarity with PHP, Node.js, Python, Java, or JavaScript from an infrastructure perspective
Awareness of compliance, security policies, and access controls
Any exposure to Site24x7, LDAP, WSUS, or Active Directory
Ability to work toward (or already hold) UK security clearance
Why This Role Stands Out
Impactful Work – The systems you’ll support help save lives and protect communities
Career Growth – Work directly with a seasoned, high-performing lead who’s helped engineers launch international careers
Real Challenge – You’ll gain experience across infrastructure, cloud, security, and systems in a genuinely complex environmentBefore You Apply
