We're looking for an experienced Linux Infrastructure Specialist to come in for a short diagnostic engagement and help our client get a clear picture of their current Linux estate.

The environment consists of around 15 Linux servers, and this engagement will form part of a wider modernisation programme. They are looking for someone hands-on who can get under the bonnet, understand what's currently in place, identify any issues or risks, and help shape the next steps.

What you'll be doing

• Reviewing and assessing the existing Linux server estate
  
  
• Understanding the current setup, configurations and dependencies
  
  
• Identifying potential risks, technical debt and areas for improvement
  
  
• Highlighting opportunities for modernisation
  
  
• Providing clear findings and practical recommendations
  
  
• Helping us understand what the future Linux environment could look like
  
  

What we're looking for

• Strong hands-on Linux infrastructure / administration experience
  
  
• Experience working across Linux server estates
  
  
• Confident troubleshooting and investigating existing environments
  
  
• Good understanding of infrastructure modernisation
  
  
• Able to work independently and quickly get to grips with an unfamiliar environment
  
  
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical findings clearly
  
  

This is a short, diagnostic-focused engagement and would suit someone who enjoys getting stuck into an environment, figuring out how things work and providing an honest assessment of what needs to change.

If you're a Linux specialist available for a short engagement and this sounds like your kind of work, we'd love to hear from you.
