Senior Unix-Linux Operation Specialist

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. You will play a key role in advising, building, operating, and supporting our customers' platforms worldwide.

Your responsibilities will include the day-to-day operations and maintenance of the Unix/Linux platform, providing 2nd and 3rd level support, managing patching, participating in service windows, and following ITIL Change Management processes. You will also be an essential part of the Operations Centre, participating in both daily and weekend duty rotations.

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.
