Description

Are you detail-oriented, tech-curious, and eager to grow your Linux skills in a real-world, high-impact environment? Do you enjoy working behind the scenes to keep critical infrastructure running seamlessly? If so, we’d love to have you join our team as a Linux Systems Administrator!

In this role, you’ll be a key contributor to our Systems Department, responsible for maintaining the core Linux server environment that powers DCI’s core processing systems.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves Linux, thrives on learning, and wants to make a real difference.

Key responsibilities include:

• Support and maintain DCI’s Linux server environment, including patching, server builds, and basic scripting.
• Monitor system logs and performance metrics to ensure reliable daily operations.
• Follow pre-defined operating policies and procedures for system updates, backups, and recovery protocols.
• Assist in managing file systems, including disk space usage, drive mounting/unmounting, permissions, and ownership.
• Participate in the upgrade project to retire legacy Linux systems.
• Help implement and support Log Management and Patch Management systems under guidance.
• Collaborate with DBAs, Technical Services, and Development teams to support cross-functional systems needs.
• Document your work, raise potential process gaps, and follow best practices for system administration.
• Contribute to printer setup tasks using CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System), as needed.
• Participate in backup, recovery planning, and testing activities.
• Participate in on-call rotation to support systems 24x7, including availability for off-hour maintenance.
• Travel may be required for major issues with short notice.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
   

What Will Help You Stand Out

Preferred qualifications include:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
• Familiarity with Linux-based printing (CUPS), sudo privileges, and least privilege best practices.
• Exposure to system monitoring tools (Ansible, Grafana, Python, etc.)
• Experience working with patch and log management systems.
• Understanding of supporting technologies: DNS, Anti-Virus, Systems Management
• Solid general understanding of distributed computing concepts, including the principles of network routing and client/server technologies.
• Effective planning, coordination, time management, and organization skills.
• A curious mindset, eagerness to learn, and strong self-starting initiative.
• Prior banking or financial services tech experience (always a plus at DCI!).
   

A Day in the Life

Imagine starting your day by navigating the command line to troubleshoot a log issue, followed by helping retire a legacy server and prep a new one for deployment. You might assist a team member with printer troubleshooting, or review disk usage metrics and confirm systems are running smoothly. You’ll be supporting the technology backbone that keeps our community bank clients operational—and your contributions will directly support their continued success.
