System Engineer Unix

System Engineer Unix
To ensure our services run securely and stably, we require a state-of-the-art and reliable infrastructure. This is operated by us ourselves in Switzerland.
As a System Engineer, together with your team, you are responsible for the maintenance, further development, and renewal of our diverse systems such as various storages, networks, and the entire software stack. You understand and help shape the infrastructure with its services and technologies in the foreground and background of Hostpoint alongside your colleagues. This also includes the evaluation, engineering, and introduction of new services and concepts. Systems security, both in technological ("Security") and operational aspects ("Robustness"), is always at the center of your work. Therefore, monitoring, early detection of threats, as well as reacting to and closing security vulnerabilities, are also part of the tasks in engineering. In doing so, you work closely with the System Operations Team.

Together with the System Operations Team, you support and maintain our systems from configuration management through rollout to reacting to errors, debugging, and adapting the (mostly) used Open Source software.
