UNIX/LINUX SPECIALIST
Hands-on Unix/Linux specialist needed to diagnose OS, app and code issues across complex client stacks. Partner with engineering to ensure reliability and fast resolutions.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a technical Unix/Linux Specialist with deep troubleshooting expertise to join our partner's team and support multiple enterprise clients across modern, complex deployments. This role requires ownership of the full application and infrastructure stack - not just records management - spanning operating systems, networking, application services and cloud-based components.
The ideal candidate has a background as a software developer who transitioned into Unix, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering, and is comfortable working close to source code as well as production systems.
You will be expected to diagnose and resolve issues across system, application, and code layers, often under time-sensitive and high-pressure conditions.
Collaboration available through CIM only.
Hybrid remote in Cluj-Napoca

Correlate code behavior with system-level symptoms.
Troubleshoot software systems end-to-end, spanning:
Operating system and process-level issues;
Application runtime behavior;
Configuration, dependencies, and integrations.
Diagnose and resolve complex incidents, including emergency escalations, after-hours calls, and weekend support rotations;
Develop and maintain internal diagnostic, automation, and support tools, primarily using Python and shell scripting;
Participate in complex system upgrades, migrations, and environment changes, ensuring stability and minimal downtime;
Understand and troubleshoot networking concepts including TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, firewalls, and service connectivity;
Quickly absorb and support application-level infrastructure knowledge across multiple client environments;
Collaborate closely with engineering, operations, and customer-facing teams to improve platform reliability and operational excellence.
REQUIREMENTS
Expert-level Unix/Linux knowledge with strong hands-on troubleshooting experience;
Ability to read, understand, and reason about source code written in common backend languages (Python; C# / .NET Core);
Solid understanding of application architecture and execution flows;
Proven ability to identify logical errors, misconfigurations, and potential bugs by correlating logs, metrics, code, and system behavior;
Strong troubleshooting methodology and systems thinking, with a bias toward root-cause analysis rather than workarounds;
Working knowledge of networking fundamentals and distributed systems concepts;
Experience operating in high-pressure, customer-impacting environments.
