You will be a valued member of the Infrastructure Engineering team, working collaboratively with platform engineers, automation specialists, and project leads to establish OS standards that form the backbone of a modern, resilient IT infrastructure.
In This Role, You Will:
Define and own the Linux infrastructure solution blueprint, establishing OS standards and reference architectures for the OS work package.
Lead the build automation strategy, implementing tooling and pipelines to enable consistent, repeatable server provisioning and configuration.
Design and govern the patching strategy, ensuring compliance, security alignment, and minimal impact on operational environments.
Drive RHEL lifecycle planning, including version roadmaps, end-of-life transitions, and support tier management.
Collaborate with security, networking, and application teams to ensure Linux infrastructure standards are integrated, compliant, and fit for purpose.
