  • Oversee patching, security hardening, and compliance in line with organisational standards and policies.

Key Skills & Experience
  • Proven experience as a Linux Engineer / Administrator in a large-scale enterprise environment.
  • Deep expertise with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) (v7, v8 and/or v9).
  • Significant hands-on experience with IBM Spectrum Protect for enterprise-level backup and recovery.
  • Proficiency in scripting (Bash or Python) for automation and operational support.
