Systems Administrator III (Linux)

Your Moneris Career – The Opportunity

As a Systems Administrator III (Linux), you will engineer, automate, secure, and continuously improve the enterprise Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) platform that underpins Moneris’ business-critical payments services across on-premises data centers and cloud.

This is a senior, hands-on infrastructure role centered on operating and modernizing a large-scale RHEL estate of thousands of virtual machines spanning development through mission-critical production. You will build reusable automation at scale with Ansible, Python, and Bash; drive lifecycle management through patching, upgrades, and migrations; and harden the environment against payments-industry compliance standards. Working independently with sound judgment, you will partner with Platform, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Cloud Operations, Information Security, and Infrastructure Architecture teams to deliver a consistent, resilient, and secure operating environment. You will also mature service ownership, mentor less-experienced colleagues, and reduce operational drift through standards-based engineering.
