System Administrator | Italy (Remote/Hybrid)
A specialist in high-precision scanning and distributed compute infrastructure is looking for a System Administrator to ensure the seamless operation of its global hardware footprint. The company is currently transitioning towards a more automated, scalable environment, providing a unique opportunity to own the day-to-day health of a Linux-heavy ecosystem while contributing to long-term Infrastructure as Code initiatives.
The Role
The primary focus of this position is maintaining the stability and performance of scanning workstations and compute nodes. This involves a blend of hands-on hardware management and software-driven automation, ensuring that internal engineering teams and client-facing deployments remain highly available.
Key Responsibilities:
* Set up and configure scanning workstations, compute nodes, and complex storage systems.
* Diagnose and resolve hardware failures involving storage drives, GPUs, memory, and networking.
* Debug software-level issues, including drivers, containers, and internal proprietary tools.
* Extend and maintain Ansible-based configuration management to reduce manual intervention.
* Build repeatable deployment processes for new scanning stations to ensure consistency.
* Provide technical support to both internal engineering and operations teams.
* Manage networking infrastructure across internal environments and client-deployed sites.
* Document infrastructure procedures and troubleshooting guides to build a robust knowledge base.
Technical Profile
The company requires a proactive administrator who is equally comfortable in a terminal as they are working with physical server components.
Essential Experience:
* Strong Linux system administration skills, specifically within Ubuntu environments.
* Practical hardware experience, including the installation and troubleshooting of physical components.
* Solid networking fundamentals and the ability to troubleshoot connectivity issues in distributed systems.
* A clear understanding of the interaction between application software and infrastructure (GPU drivers, CUDA toolkits, and container runtimes).
* A valid driving licence and a willingness to travel occasionally to client sites.
* Professional fluency in English.
Preferred Skills:
* Experience with Ansible or similar configuration management tools.
* Knowledge of enterprise storage solutions such as TrueNAS or ZFS.
* Familiarity with monitoring and alerting stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Netdata).
* Exposure to Terraform or AWS solution architecture.
* Additional language skills in German or Italian are a distinct advantage.
Why Join?
The company provides a critical service at the intersection of hardware and software. You will play a pivotal role in evolving their infrastructure from manual processes to a modern, automated stack, working with cutting-edge GPU-accelerated technology in a highly collaborative environment.
