You’ll ensure the platform is highly available, secure, performant, and observable, and you’ll provide end-to-end L3 troubleshooting across OS, networking, and middleware layers while partnering with development teams to improve reliability and delivery quality.\nYour primary focus will be keeping existing middleware systems stable, secure, and up to date, while contributing to design improvements and modernization initiatives as the platform evolves.\nWhat You Will Do\nAdminister and operate production Linux infrastructure ensuring high availability, security, and performance\n\nDeploy and operate middleware and integration components for distributed and microservices architectures.\n\nDesign and maintain traffic routing and service exposure layers (HAProxy, Nginx)\n\nOperate and maintain messaging platforms (RabbitMQ, Kafka)\n\nAutomate infrastructure and middleware configuration using Ansible\n\nProvide L3 support for international customers, performing end-to-end troubleshooting across OS, networking, and middleware layers\n\nLead and contribute to critical production incident resolution and post-incident improvements (RCA, action items, runbooks)\n\nWork closely with development teams to improve platform reliability, scalability, and delivery quality\n\nRequired Skills & Experience\nStrong, proven experience with Enterprise Linux distributions (e.g., RHEL, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, CentOS, Oracle Linux). Experience with any of these is acceptable due to their compatibility.\n\nNetworking fundamentals for troubleshooting (TCP/IP basics, HTTPS, connectivity, firewalls, routing concepts, DNS, ports).\n\nAutomation: practical knowledge of Ansible to automate system and middleware deployments and configurations.\n\nLinux scripting: proficiency in Bash and common Unix tools (sed, awk, grep, etc.).\n\nReverse proxy / load balancing concepts with hands-on experience in Nginx and/or HAProxy.\n\nExperience operating messaging platforms such as RabbitMQ and/or Kafka in production is strongly preferred.\n\nRed Hat certifications are a plus (RHCSA may be too basic; RHCE is preferred, even if expired).\n\nNice to Have\nSolid Linux system administration background (RHEL/OEL/Rocky/CentOS), including systemd services, networking, and patching/upgrades\n\nExperience with NGINX/HAProxy reverse proxy and load balancing concepts\n\nExperience operating RabbitMQ and Redis in HA setups (or equivalent messaging/caching platforms)\n\nScripting and automation skills (Bash/Python) and exposure to configuration management (e.g., Ansible)\n\nStrong troubleshooting skills, ability to write clear documentation and runbooks\n\nExperience with service discovery and configuration templating (e.g., Consul)\n\nContainers and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)\n\nInfrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)\n\nCloud and platform exposure (e.g., AWS, VMware vCenter)\n\nObservability and logging (e.g., Elasticsearch / Logstash / Kibana)\n\nExperience with Mesos/Marathon and related ecosystem tools\n\nVersion control and collaboration (e.g., Git)\n\nWhat We Value\nEnd-to-End Ownership\nYou take ownership of production services and follow through on fixes until they're resolved.\nStrong Hands-On Engineering\nWe expect engineers who dive deep into root cause analysis, automate repetitive work, and drive preventive improvements.\nRisk-Aware Change Management\nYou manage risk in live environments through careful change planning and methodical execution.\nClear Communication\nYou communicate clearly during incidents, document what you learn, and produce runbooks others can follow.\nContinuous Improvement\nBlameless postmortems, automation over manual processes, standardisation opportunities, and learning from failure.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nMiddleware reliability sits at the centre of application availability - outages are reduced and recovery times improve\n\nUpgrades and migrations execute smoothly with minimal service disruption\n\nTeams ship changes safely because the platform is predictable and well-operated\n\nOperational work is increasingly automated and configurations are standardised\n\nDocumentation and runbooks are current, clear, and actionable\n\nCareer Growth\nYou’ll have the opportunity to deepen your expertise across middleware, Linux platform operations, and reliability practices, and to lead stabilisation and modernisation initiatives that improve how the platform is delivered and supported.\nUsed Technologies (Current Environment)\nLinux (RHEL), Bash, Ansible, Nginx, HAProxy, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, Mesos/Marathon, Consul, VMware vCenter, Elasticsearch / Logstash / Kibana, Git, TCP/IP\nHow to Apply\nPlease submit your CV and a short note answering:\nWhich components have you operated in production (e.g., Nginx, HAProxy, RabbitMQ, Kafka or similar)?\n\nWhich Enterprise Linux distributions have you supported (RHEL/Rocky/Alma/CentOS/OEL), and what types of upgrades/migrations have you performed?\n\nAn example of an end-to-end incident you investigated (OS + network + middleware) and how you prevented recurrence.\n\nHow have you used Ansible (or similar) to standardise and automate deployments/configuration?\n\nUse of AI tools in daily life: describe how you have embedded AI into your workflows to improve efficiency and productivity.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5600,"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":["CRM Software","Billing & Subscription Management","Telecom Infrastructure"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T17:46:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.258,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":161,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:18","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/qvantel-senior-middleware-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/qvantel-senior-middleware-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T06:49:48Z","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":8107,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"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":56765},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=56765"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fqvantel-senior-middleware-engineer"},{"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%2Fqvantel-senior-middleware-engineer"},{"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%2Fqvantel-senior-middleware-engineer"},{"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/qvantel-senior-middleware-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fqvantel-senior-middleware-engineer"}]}
