About the Role

In this role you will owns our Linux KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) hypervisor platform and the automation used to provision, patch, monitor, and secure it. The successful candidate will define and maintain golden configurations, build the bare-metal provisioning pipeline, and operate the monitoring and log collection stack used across the team.

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain hypervisor golden configurations: host build standards, kernel and performance tuning, and VM (Virtual Machine) templates, including connectivity testing.
• Manage the hypervisor lifecycle: image builds, patching and update schedules, staged rollouts, and rollback procedures.
• Build and maintain automated bare-metal provisioning: network boot, unattended installation, per-host configuration, and local package repositories.
• Build and operate the monitoring platform: Prometheus metrics collection covering the operating system, hypervisor, and hardware layers, with dashboards and alerting.
• Build and operate centralized log collection for the hypervisor fleet.
• Implement configuration management and drift detection across the hypervisor fleet.
• Maintain the security baseline: CIS (Center for Internet Security) hardening, automated compliance scanning, vulnerability triage and patching, and centralized identity and access management.
• Maintain CI (Continuous Integration) and testing for infrastructure code.

What You'll Need

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 10+ years expert-level Linux administration experience, with production experience on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or its derivatives (Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream).
• 5+ years of significant production experience operating Linux KVM/libvirt at fleet scale, including performance-sensitive workloads.
• 10+ years of experience building an automated provisioning pipeline from bare metal to running workload.
• 5+ years of experience with demonstrated host performance tuning: CPU pinning and isolation, NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) memory placement, and interrupt affinity. (Replace Linux with Kubia)
• 5+ years of experience deploying and operating Prometheus and centralized logging.
• 5+ years of experience patching production fleets across multiple sites with minimal service impac
