Job description
This is a senior “player-coach” role with end-to-end responsibility for the service as a whole — including operations, quality, SLA, change management, and continuous development — while remaining actively hands-on in Linux and infrastructure environments.
This is not a helpdesk position and not a shift-based role.

• Own end-to-end service delivery toward customers (SLA, quality, stability).
• Oversee incident, problem, and change management processes.
• Handle technical escalations and ensure service continuity.
• Engage directly with customers — propose improvements, infrastructure changes, and service enhancements.
• Support presales activities (solution input, capacity estimates, operating model definition).
• Contribute to the development and standardization of Managed Services.
• Collaborate closely with cloud and security teams on service evolution.
Operating model:
• Services are delivered in a 24/7 model.
• This is not a shift-based position.
• Availability is ensured through a rotating on-call model within the team.
• Participation in on-call is expected based on seniority and operational needs.
Requirements
• Strong experience with enterprise infrastructure environments (servers, virtualization, networking, storage).
• Solid hands-on experience with Linux and Windows Server in production environments.
• Experience with virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V, Linux KVM).
• Good understanding of infrastructure architecture and high-availability design.
• Experience managing changes in production environments (Change Management).
• Proven ability to resolve complex incidents and perform root cause analysis.
• Experience with backup solutions and disaster recovery scenarios.
• Understanding of core security principles (hardening, IAM, segmentation).
Leadership profile:
• Experience leading a hybrid or remote team (5–10 engineers).
• Ability to take full ownership of a service and its delivery.
• Customer-facing experience in a consultative or service-oriented environment.
• Strong hands-on mindset with natural technical authority.

• Opportunity to grow into a leading technical authority within the domain
• Work alongside a team of senior specialists and experienced architects
• Real impact on services used by thousands of enterprise customers
