About the Role

We're looking for a motivated Systems Engineer to join our client's team and support the administration, monitoring, and optimization of our Linux-based systems and SQL databases. This is a hands-on role where you'll gain exposure to a wide range of technologies, work closely with senior engineers and DBAs, and build the skills needed to grow into a more advanced systems or database engineering position.

What You'll Do

  • Assist with day-to-day administration of Linux servers, including installation, configuration, and patching.
  • Monitor system and database performance, availability, and security, escalating issues as needed.
  • Support troubleshooting efforts for Linux OS, database, hardware, and network-related problems.
  • Perform basic SQL database administration tasks such as user management, backups, and query monitoring.
  • Collaborate with senior engineers and database administrators on upgrades, automation projects, and infrastructure improvements.
  • Maintain documentation for Linux and database processes, configurations, and troubleshooting steps.
  • Provide basic user support for Linux- and SQL-related requests.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field is required.
  • 1–2 years of experience in a Linux systems or IT support role (or equivalent coursework/lab experience).
  • Familiarity with Linux command line, shell scripting, and basic system administration tasks.
  • Basic SQL knowledge (queries, user permissions, schema concepts).
  • Understanding of database backup/recovery and monitoring fundamentals.
  • General networking knowledge (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, firewalls).
  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and eagerness to learn.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.

Nice to Have

  • Professional certifications such as Linux+ (CompTIA), RHCSA/RHCE (Red Hat), or AWS Certified SysOps Administrator.
  • SQL certifications (Microsoft, Oracle, or similar).
  • Experience with automation tools (Ansible, Puppet, Chef, etc.).
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Familiarity with database performance tuning and query optimization.
  • Experience with version control (Git).

Why Join Us?

  • Opportunity to learn and grow under the mentorship of experienced systems and database engineers.
  • Exposure to enterprise-scale systems and SQL environments.
  • Collaborative, team-oriented environment.
  • Career development support and training resources.
