Hello, Quad9 is looking for a Linux Systems Engineer for its Technical Operations team. The job description follows.
If you have questions about the position, please contact me off-list (Reply-To is set). If you are interested in joining Quad9 and helping us make the Internet a safer place, please send your CV to [email protected]. ~~~~ Job Title: Linux Systems Engineer Location: Remote Job Type: Full-Time Experience Level: Mid-Level (Minimum 4 years in production environments) Who we are: Quad9 is a Swiss-based non-profit organization that operates one of the world's largest anycast recursive DNS platforms. Our mission is to provide end users with robust, secure, private, and fast recursive DNS service. We are a small but dedicated team of people who are passionate about making the Internet a safer place for everyone. We are looking for a skilled and motivated Linux Systems Engineer to join our Operations team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in managing production systems, a solid understanding of DNS protocols, and hands-on experience running servers at scale. Key Responsibilities: - Manage, monitor, and maintain production Linux systems to ensure high availability and performance. - Implement, manage, and troubleshoot DNS services at scale. - Develop and maintain shell or Python scripts to automate routine tasks and processes. - Troubleshoot and resolve system-related issues, ensuring minimal downtime and impact. - Perform regular system updates, patches, and security configurations. - Document system configurations, processes, and procedures. - Join on-call rotation for occasional firefighting. Qualifications: - Strong written and verbal communication skills (English.) - Based in Europe or able to work a European time schedule, as well as able to work with team members in different time zones. - A solid understanding of the Linux operating system, with at least four years of operational experience. - Hands-on experience with DNS protocols and related software. - Familiarity with Internet infrastructure, including TCP/IP and routing protocols. - Proven experience with Ansible for configuration management and automation. - Proficient in writing Bash scripts for small automation tasks (knowledge of Python is a plus) - Experience with system performance metric collection and visualization tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana). - Experience with OSS tools for systems management/deployment, observability, and monitoring. - Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail. - Ability to work independently and as part of a team. This position requires confidence in one’s skills and significant experience in large-scale environments. We run a service that is as “mission-critical” as it gets - without DNS, everything stops. What makes this a great place to work is the knowledge that our service is free and is designed to keep people from being victims of crime or having their personal data exploited. The scale of the work is planet-sized, and you’ll be working for an effort that actually makes a difference, versus making a bottom line. If you are passionate about our mission and meet the above qualifications, we would love to hear from you! ~~~~ Kind Regards, -- Babak Farrokhi [email protected] Director of Operations Quad9 Recursive Resolver
