# Linux System Engineer

Einleitungstext Are you ready to take ownership of world-class Linux infrastructure in a dynamic biological research environment? At the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) of ETH Zurich in Basel, data-driven science meets cutting-edge engineering. As the senior technical anchor for our Linux ecosystem, you will join a focused, close-knit infrastructure group of four. Linux and storage service delivery is shared across three team members (with our fourth colleague focusing on Windows and virtualization). In this position, you will lead the core technical architecture and operations, while two team members work somewhat more closely with daily client and customer support. Underpinning our local setup are the central services of ETH ID, providing robust networking, central storage, and a growing central Linux core. Whether you are already an experienced senior engineer or a talented, motivated Linux professional ready to step into a larger role and expand your capabilities, we offer the autonomy and support for you to thrive. If you want your engineering expertise to directly empower groundbreaking scientific progress, this is your place to grow! Aufgaben-/Stell
