UNIX Engineer
Position Details:
The primary focus of this position will be around engineering our standards & developing implementation & best practice documentation for hardware (Dell & Oracle), virtualization (VMware, Solaris Zones, & Oracle VM for SPARC Systems aka LDoms), & operating systems (Solaris 10 & 11 and RHEL 5 & 6). A successful candidate must have strong communication skills (both oral and written) as a large part of this role will involve working with the infrastructure architects and other engineering/operations teams as well as producing documentation that will be used for new platform builds. Having a UNIX systems administration background will be a major plus however it’s very important to note that this is primarily an engineering role, not a sys admin one.
Responsibilities:
• Typical duties will include taking hardware diagrams and creating OS build documents, testing out and developing procedures for new features (i.e. we’re currently testing Solaris 10 local zones in a Solaris 11 global zone), working with infrastructure architecture to determine hardware roadmap, etc.
• Platform Engineering is also responsible for other layers of the stack so if the candidate has experience with Java, application servers (WebLogic, Tomcat/tc Server), message servers (WebSphere MQ), and web servers (particularly SunONE iPlanet), those are also pluses.
Qualifications
Minimum skills:
• Strong understanding of UNIX (Everything is a file, POSIX, etc.) Strong UNIX/Linux experience, preferably with RHEL 5 & 6 and Solaris 10 & 11 Experience with virtualization technology (VMware ESXi, Solaris Zones, Solaris LDoms)
• Ability to use at least one scripting language (bash, ksh, perl, python, etc.)
Preferred skills:
• These are all a plus: Experience with Puppet (or Chef/CFEngine) Experience with Clustering (Linux HA or VCS) Experience with Docker Experience with RHEL 7 Experience with other PE supported tech (WebLogic, tc Server, WebSphere MQ, iPlanet, Java)
• Experience with OpenStack Experience with Java
