**Please note that we are only recruiting within the UTC-1 to UTC+3 timezones.**
We are seeking a system administrator to help us maintain and expand our large fleet of bare metal servers. In this role, you will use your knowledge of system and network administration to build reliable, secure and scalable infrastructure for our VPN service. You should have expertise in Linux server administration, be able to collaborate with team members, and be a pragmatic problem-solver.
### How we stand out from the crowd of VPN providers
* Early adopters of the latest protocols and technologies.
* Strict ethical stances around data collection and marketing practices - principles over profits.
* Clear commitment to regular audits and transparency.
* Calling out bad practices in the VPN industry and shunning false promises.
* Recommended by experts whose voice we truly value - those not motivated by affiliate payouts.
### What you can expect when working with us?
* Fully remote setting with a high degree of independence.
* Maximum freedom, minimum meetings
* If your ideal workplace offers regular meetups and busy casual chat channels, IVPN is probably not a good fit for you;
* on the other hand, if you value autonomy and focused work, you will appreciate our culture.
* Competitive salary.
* 25 days of vacation per year (+1 bonus for each year at the company).
* Hardware of your choice to do your job.
## Responsibilities
* Remotely install leased bare-metal servers using automated build tools and scripts.
* Ensure high availability of our large network of servers. Diagnose and resolve hardware, OS and network issues.
* Plan, design and implement the necessary controls to ensure the security of all servers.
* Interface with ISP's to resolve upstream issues and procure new servers.
* Provide tier 2/3 support to customer support team for issues relating to infrastructure.
* Collaborating with backend engineers and application developers to define and implement requirements relating to customer VPN.
