PayNet / Why Now\nBuild the infrastructure behind Malaysia’s national payments network, powering rails Malaysians use daily, including DuitNow, FPX, JomPAY, and MyDebit. \nOperate at true national scale (PayNet reports 8.44B transactions processed in 2025), where architecture decisions materially affect uptime, speed, and trust. \nJoin a public-good operator that reinvests surplus back into making the country’s payment infrastructures more resilient, competitive, and accessible. \nStep in at an inflection point: PayNet has been shifting from legacy/private connectivity toward internet-based API connectivity and a cloud-based computing model, raising the bar for security and platform engineering. \nTL;DR\nOwn day-to-day reliability of UNIX, virtualization, and backup platforms supporting national payments\nKeep mission-critical systems secure, performant, and recoverable\nDrive automation and modernisation across enterprise infrastructure\nAct as L3 technical escalation for complex infrastructure incidents\nWhy This Role Matters\nPayment infrastructure must remain available, recoverable, and secure at all times\nInfrastructure failures directly affect transaction processing and national trust\nAutomation and modernisation reduce operational risk and human error\nSenior engineering judgment is critical during incidents and platform changes\nWhat You Will Actually Do\nOwn administration and optimisation of enterprise UNIX/Linux systems, including patching and performance tuning\nOperate and improve hypervisor platforms such as VMware or KVM, covering lifecycle, capacity, and upgrades\nEnsure backup and disaster recovery readiness through hands-on restore validation and DR exercises\nBuild automation using Bash, Python, and Ansible to improve provisioning, compliance, and efficiency\nAct as L3 escalation for incidents, driving root-cause analysis and permanent remediation\nEnsure systems meet security, compliance, and documentation standards while mentoring team members\nExamples of This Role in Practice\nRestoring a critical system during an incident and validating data integrity under pressure\nImproving VM performance by fixing capacity or configuration bottlenecks\nAutomating patching workflows to reduce downtime and manual risk\nLeading root-cause analysis for a recurring platform issue and preventing recurrence\nSupporting a DR exercise and closing gaps before production risk materialises\nWhat Will Help You Succeed\nRequired\nStrong hands-on UNIX/Linux administration experience (RHEL, AIX) in production environments\nPractical expertise operating hypervisor platforms such as VMware or KVM\nHands-on experience with enterprise backup and recovery solutions (NetBackup, Veeam, or Commvault)\nAbility to automate infrastructure tasks using Bash, Python, or Ansible\nComfort acting as escalation support for complex system issues\nHelpful\nExperience implementing or supporting HA and DR architectures\nExposure to enterprise storage and networking (SAN, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, TCP/IP, VLANs)\nExperience with monitoring and observability tools such as Nagios, Grafana, Prometheus, or ELK\nFamiliarity with vulnerability management, system hardening, and audit environments\nRelevant certifications such as RHCE, VMware VCP, or backup platform certifications","description_format":"text","description_chars":3267,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T01:11:32Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring
