About the Role

We're looking for a Systems Administrator to manage and optimize our cloud infrastructure

across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This role combines hands-on cloud

administration with performance engineering, ensuring our multi-cloud environment runs

reliably, securely, and efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Infrastructure Administration

  • Deploy, configure, and maintain cloud-based compute instances across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

  • Administer identity and access management, network configurations, storage resources, and security groups across cloud environments.

  • Monitor infrastructure health, availability, and resource utilization, investigating and responding to incidents or service disruptions.

  • Perform system patching, software updates, and security hardening to maintain infrastructure integrity.

  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, operational procedures, and infrastructure guidelines.

  • Identify opportunities to improve cloud cost efficiency through resource rightsizing, reserved instances, and autoscaling configurations.

  • Automate recurring administrative tasks using Bash, Python, or PowerShell, along with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, and ARM/Bicep.

Performance Benchmarking

  • Plan and conduct performance tests across cloud compute, storage, and network resources.

  • Develop reusable benchmarking scripts and automated testing pipelines, ensuring testing procedures are consistently documented.

  • Evaluate benchmarking results and prepare reports outlining findings, performance gaps, and recommended improvements.

  • Monitor performance metrics over time to identify unusual behavior, degradation, or regressions.

  • Work with engineering teams to apply performance findings to infrastructure planning and technical decisions.

Required Qualifications

  • At least 5 years of experience managing and administering cloud infrastructure in production environments.

  • Hands-on experience with at least two of the following platforms: AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Experience across all three is strongly preferred.

  • Strong proficiency in Linux server administration.

  • Practical experience with scripting and automation using Bash, Python, or PowerShell.

  • Familiarity with performance benchmarking and testing tools, such as sysbench, fio, iperf, Geekbench, and cloud-native monitoring utilities.

  • Understanding of cloud networking, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and cloud security fundamentals.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

  • Ability to interpret technical results and communicate findings and recommendations clearly to management.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Cloud certifications (AWS Certified SysOps Administrator, Azure Administrator

  • Associate, Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect, etc.)

  • Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM templates)

  • Familiarity with monitoring/observability platforms (CloudWatch, Azure Monitor,

  • Google Cloud Operations, Datadog, Grafana)

  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices

Working Conditions

  • 100% remote work

  • Night shift schedule during the initial months; schedule may become more flexible after the probationary period.
