Senior Unix-Linux Operation Specialist
Aeven A/S
We are seeking experienced Operational Specialists to join our Unix/Linux team in Prague/Ostrava/Brno, working alongside global colleagues from Denmark and the Philippines, as well as vendors and partners.

Your Responsibilities
As part of our team, you will help manage a server environment consisting of 2000+ Unix servers across various distributions. Your responsibilities will range from fundamental tasks, such as user administration and storage management, to more advanced duties like server deployments, configuration for specific roles, cluster management, and contributing to projects and automation efforts.

- Problem Management
- Troubleshooting
- Preventive Maintenance
- Proactive Operations
- Change Management
- Patch Management
Our primary operating system is RedHat Enterprise Linux, followed by SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, AIX, Solaris, and occasionally HP-UX. Beyond basic server operations, we work with cluster solutions such as HACMP, Serviceguard, Veritas Cluster, and SuSE CRM. For backups, we utilize NetBackup and Commvault, and we host virtual machines on VMware, among other platforms.
Extensive expertise in Unix and proficiency in at least one or two of these areas is required.

- RedHat Enterprise Linux

- An IT degree relevant to the position is a plus, along with extensive knowledge of complex server operations and vendor certifications.
- Strong competencies in incident handling and troubleshooting
- Structured and analytical mindset for approaching tasks
- Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English
- A proactive approach to taking responsibility and problem-solving
- Ability to coordinate and collaborate with global teams
