Lead Linux Platform Engineers MUST have:

  • Good experience of working with Unix and perhaps, more recently, modern cloud technology
  • Substantial experience in the deployment and management of Linux servers
  • Good knowledge of managing virtual machines
  • Demonstrable knowledge of Rest APIs, Git, PKI and SSL certificates, RedHat/Fedora, DNS, Mail, LDAP and kernel-level debugging is also highly desirable
