The role is part of IOQ’s operations and provides a consistent and efficient front door for compute, storage, networking, identity, cluster services, and supporting infrastructure. The SRE L1 Generalist follows approved SOPs and runbooks, restores service for documented scenarios, and creates complete escalation packages when deeper expertise is required. Success in this role depends on disciplined execution, strong Linux fundamentals, high-quality ticket records, and reliable shift handoffs. THE PERSON You are curious, methodical, and calm under pressure. You do not guess when evidence is available. You follow procedures precisely, recognize stop conditions, communicate impact clearly, and escalate early when scope, risk, access, or technical complexity exceeds L1 authority. WORKING MODEL\nWorks within a follow-the-sun shift model and participates in weekend or after-hours coverage as assigned.\nRequires disciplined real-time communication and complete handoff documentation.\nROLE BOUNDARIES AND ESCALATION\nL1 resolves documented, authorized scenarios and does not make unapproved production changes or bypass change control.\nL1 support tier is independent of incident priority; a high-priority event may require immediate parallel engagement of L2/L3 owners.\nKey Responsibilities\nMonitor agreed dashboards, alerts, queues, and service-health signals across in-scope Fleet Services infrastructure.\nAcknowledge and classify incoming alerts and Jira tickets; confirm affected assets, symptoms, impact, priority, and ownership.\nExecute documented L1 checks for compute, storage, network, identity, authentication, virtualization, and cluster-service issues.\nCollect required logs, command output, timestamps, configuration state, topology or dependency details, and reproduction evidence.\nPerform only authorized low-risk remediation defined in approved runbooks, then validate recovery and document results.\nEscalate unresolved or high-risk cases to the correct L2/L3 owner with complete evidence, work performed, current state, and explicit assistance requested.\nMaintain accurate ticket status through review, in progress, on hold, validation, resolution, and closure; track delegated work until completion.\nPerform structured shift handoffs that identify active incidents, aging tickets, blocked work, risks, owners, and next steps.\nSupport SOP and runbook validation through ticket playback, tabletop exercises, supervised execution, and feedback on missing or unclear steps.\nIdentify repetitive work, alert noise, documentation gaps, and automation candidates for review by engineering and automation owners.\nSkill Requirements\nExperience in a NOC, service desk, infrastructure operations, junior SRE, systems administration, or technical support environment.\nWorking knowledge of Linux command-line troubleshooting, processes, filesystems, services, networking, permissions, and logs.\nFoundational understanding of compute, virtualization, storage, TCP/IP networking, DNS, DHCP, identity, and authentication.\nExperience with Jira or comparable ticketing systems and with monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, SolarWinds, or PagerDuty.\nAbility to follow technical procedures, capture accurate evidence, recognize risk and stop conditions, and communicate concise handoffs.\nBasic scripting or automation experience with Python, shell, Ansible, or APIs is beneficial.\nExposure to MAAS, Xen, VMware, Azure, NetApp, Pure, Weka, Arista, Cisco, or GPU/HPC infrastructure is beneficial.\nOther Requirements\nAssociate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience considered. Foundational Linux, cloud, networking, or IT service-management certification is beneficial.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3979,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cybersecurity","Professional Services","Science & Engineering","Systems Integrators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-02T12:00:37Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":99,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.993,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:0","wave","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hcltech-senioradministrator-linux-red-hat-cluster-red-hat-satellite-7","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hcltech-senioradministrator-linux-red-hat-cluster-red-hat-satellite-7.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T06:11:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10856,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":225},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=225"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhcltech-senioradministrator-linux-red-hat-cluster-red-hat-satellite-7"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhcltech-senioradministrator-linux-red-hat-cluster-red-hat-satellite-7"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhcltech-senioradministrator-linux-red-hat-cluster-red-hat-satellite-7"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hcltech-senioradministrator-linux-red-hat-cluster-red-hat-satellite-7\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhcltech-senioradministrator-linux-red-hat-cluster-red-hat-satellite-7"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3606965}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"hcltech.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3606965},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
