Provide database support, including troubleshooting and maintenance
Process password reset requests and respond to server outages and other incidents
Write and maintain Bash/Python scripts to automate recurring tasks such as patching and password resets
What you'll bring
Experience administering Linux systems (Ubuntu preferred), including repository and package management
Familiarity with certificate management and setting up HTTPS/TLS in internal environments
Working knowledge of container registries (e.g. Quay) and image management
Experience with Python, Flask and React, ideally in a data visualisation context
Hands‐on experience with Airflow for data pipeline development and troubleshooting
