Linux System Engineer Automation 80-100 Remote-First

Adfinis drives digitalization with open standards and technologies shaping a world of innovative sustainable and resilient IT solutions based on trusted opensource technology.

As our company grows were on the lookout for Linux System Engineers at the Junior Professional and Senior levels to join our Classic IT team which builds and runs critical Linuxbased IT infrastructure for customers from all industries.

In our team of 24 people everyone plays an important role. Junior Engineers on helpdesk make sure our customers get quick support and take care of the regular maintenance for systems under SLA. Our Professional Engineers are responsible for handling their own small projects and are also involved in engineering work to develop the infrastructure small and large organizations rely on. Senior Engineers take on tech lead roles in multimonths projects and draw up architecture designs for new systems. But fear not you wont be blocked in a box at Adfinis.

Together with the People Lead we help find just the sweet spot for you
between using your current tech knowhow and learning new skills.
