What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Linux Systems Engineer (Production Support) position at Kane Partners LLC?
If you're the engineer people call when Linux systems go sideways, keep reading.
We're hiring a Linux Systems Engineer to support mission-critical enterprise software used by customers who depend on uptime. This is a hands-on production support role where you'll troubleshoot live Linux environments, investigate complex issues, work closely with engineering teams, and keep critical systems running.
This isn't a help desk position, and it isn't a pure DevOps role. We're looking for someone who enjoys digging into problems, working from the Linux command line, and owning issues through resolution.
What You'll Be Doing
● Troubleshoot production Linux environments (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu)
● Investigate application, OS, and infrastructure issues
● Analyze logs and perform root cause analysis
● Support VMware and cloud-based environments
● Perform patching, upgrades, and system maintenance
● Collaborate with developers, customers, and internal engineering teams
● Participate in a rotating on-call schedule (additional compensation provided)
What We're Looking For
● Strong Linux administration and command-line troubleshooting experience
● Experience supporting production systems in a 24/7 environment
● VMware experience
● Familiarity with networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, SSH)
● Experience with Bash, Ansible, or other automation tools is a plus
● SIP/VoIP experience is helpful but not required
Why Join?
● Work on mission-critical enterprise systems
● Collaborative engineering team with real technical challenges
● Competitive salary bonus
● Hybrid schedule (2 days/week onsite in Lyndhurst, NJ)
● Excellent opportunity to grow your Linux expertise in a production environment
Salary : $120,000 - $135,000
