Senior System Administrator (m/f/d)

About the role

Your Responsibilities

1. Compute & OS Lifecycle
   • Operate and optimize hypervisors and clusters (VMware/KVM/Proxmox), including HA, DRS/placement, and firmware/BIOS lifecycle
   • Provision and maintain Linux and Windows servers with clear baselines, SLAs, and change control
   • Enforce patching windows and automate OS updates with maintenance/rollback plans
2. Provisioning, Imaging & Configuration Management
   • Deliver repeatable provisioning: PXE/iPXE workflows, golden images with Packer, and unattended installs
   • Implement configuration management at scale (Ansible/Salt; WSUS/Chocolatey; Red Hat Satellite) with drift detection and remediation
   • Maintain hardened images aligned to CIS/STIG; document MOP/SOP and rollback for all changes
3. Storage, Backup & Disaster Recovery
   • Operate block/file/object storage (SAN/NAS/Ceph/ZFS): performance tuning, quotas, snapshots/replication
   • Ensure backup coverage and restorability with Veeam (policies, immutability where applicable, app-aware backups)
   • Conduct scheduled restore tests; document and meet RPO/RTO; participate in DR exercises
4. Directory, Identity & Access (optional specialization)
   • Administer AD/LDAP/FreeIPA and federation/SSO (Keycloak/MFA), service accounts, and RBAC guardrails
   • Automate join/leave/move flows (SCIM/connectors), GPO/Policy hygiene, and privileged access controls
   • Integrate identity with platforms (e.g., Linux/Windows domain join, sudo/rights delegation)
5. Server Security Hygiene & Logging
   • Apply CIS baselines and remediate OS/middleware vulnerabilities within agreed SLAs
   • Manage certificate/PKI lifecycle (issuance, rotation, ACME automation, expiry alerting)
   • Operate log shipping (rsyslog/agents) to ELK/OpenSearch; ensure audit coverage for privileged actions
6. Reliability, Observability & Lifecycle Management
   • Build availability patterns (dual-homing, LACP/MLAG where applicable, fast recovery) for critical services
   • Implement monitoring/alerting (e.g., Zabbix), telemetry/SNMP, and capacity trending
   • Keep the CMDB accurate (CIs, owners, relationships), track EOL/EOS, and produce capacity/cost reports
   • Use Git-based workflows to version playbooks/configs and deliver safe, repeatable changes

Essential Skills

• 7+ years administering enterprise Linux/Windows in multi-site environments, including change and incident workflows
• Hands-on with at least two hypervisor stacks (e.g., VMware + Proxmox/KVM) and cluster operations (HA, live migration, storage moves)
• Strong in provisioning and config at scale: PXE/iPXE, Packer, Ansible/Salt; WSUS/Chocolatey or Satellite
  Storage fundamentals (iSCSI/FC/NFS/SMB) with practical Ceph or ZFS experience (pool design, snapshots, replication)
• Veeam at scale: policies, proxies/repos, application-aware backups, restore testing, and RPO/RTO discipline
• Directory/IAM administration: AD (GPO, DNS, Sites & Services) plus FreeIPA/Keycloak and SSO/MFA patterns
• Security hygiene and logging: CIS alignment, vuln remediation, certificate lifecycle, rsyslog → ELK/OpenSearch
• Scripting/automation (Bash/PowerShell; Python a plus) and Git-based change workflows

Beneficial Skills

• ZFS send/receive; Ceph RBD/RGW tuning; storage performance troubleshooting
• Immutable/air-gapped backups; off-site replication; DR orchestration
• Exposure to Kubernetes underlay needs (storage classes/CSI, backup hooks like Velero/restic)
• TISAX/ISO 27001 evidence handling (policies ↔ designs ↔ logs ↔ change records)
• Experience with CMDB tooling (e.g., NetBox/ServiceNow/JIRA CMDB) and asset discovery
• Familiarity with syslog retention strategies, Zabbix tuning, and ITSM/change tooling
