• Administer and troubleshoot MikroTik
• Support PostgreSQL / MySQL, including backups, restores, users, and basic diagnostics
• Investigate incidents and perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
• Maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and knowledge bases
• Perform production changes carefully with change plans, backups/snapshots, and rollback procedures
• Automate routine tasks using Bash, Python, or Ansible
What we’re looking for
• 5+ years of Linux system administration experience
• Strong hands-on experience with Ubuntu / Debian / CentOS
