What you'll do
• Analyze operating system, package, and kernel findings to resolve repository issues and plan service restarts.
• Translate vulnerabilities into upgrades or configuration changes for runtimes, libraries, middleware, and third-party applications.
• Develop vendor-specific update plans for Unix platforms such as AIX or Solaris, including licensed support and maintenance sequencing.
• Manage cloud-based remediation by separating provider obligations from customer-controlled workload and configuration changes.
• Produce technical documentation including runbooks, dependency maps, recovery prerequisites, and change plans.
• Coordinate with application owners to map dependencies, support matrices, and vendor prerequisites for regression testing.
• Manage production troubleshooting and perform controlled rollbacks or recovery when necessary.
• Provide evidence of security closure through validated remediation, functional testing, and auditable case histories.
What you bring
• At least five years of experience in relevant systems engineering and production environment troubleshooting.
• Strong expertise in enterprise Linux administration, including package managers, repositories, shell scripting, and kernel updates.
• Professional experience in application support, middleware upgrades, and infrastructure as code.
• Hands-on proficiency in Unix platform administration, virtualization, and vendor-specific update methods.
• Demonstrated ability to manage cloud services, access controls, identity, and network security configurations.
• Proven track record of following disciplined change control processes and maintaining auditable documentation.
• Ability to analyze complex technical cases, identify service dependencies, and manage stakeholder escalations.
• Clear communication skills to explain findings to stakeholders and coordinate with vendors and testing teams.
Nice to have
• Secondary competence in Windows or specialized cloud security services.
• Experience with silent installers and detection logic for automated packaging.
• Recent experience managing legacy or business-critical workloads in highly regulated environments.
