Linux System Administrator

📍 Lucknow 🏷️ Software Development 💰 ₹73,000 / month

About the Role

Vibhuti Khand in Lucknow's Gomti Nagar area has a Linux System Administrator opening, full time, on site, with a software team maintaining server infrastructure. Four years of experience is the expectation, and this role requires genuine comfort with the command line rather than relying on graphical tools.

A Day in This Job

The work covers writing and maintaining application code, collaborating with cross-functional teams on new features, and fixing bugs identified during testing, all through a Linux administration lens. An administrator here writes shell scripts to automate repetitive tasks, since manual repetition invites mistakes.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Administer Linux servers across the environment
  • Write shell scripts for automation
  • Support networking configuration
  • Troubleshoot server-level issues

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with proficiency in the relevant languages, tools, and frameworks for this role.

Skills That Matter

  • Linux administration
  • Shell scripting
  • Networking
  • Troubleshooting

Good to Have

Experience with a specific major Linux distribution beyond the basics, familiarity with configuration management tools, and any background where a shell script genuinely saved real recurring manual effort.

Why This Role

Gomti Nagar has become one of Lucknow's more established IT and business districts, and this team's server infrastructure runs on Linux exclusively, which means real command-line fluency matters more than familiarity with a graphical management console. Naukri Mitra has listed a few software roles from this employer, and administrators who've joined recently describe automating a previously manual weekly task as one of the more satisfying early wins in this role.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a technical round on Linux administration and shell scripting and a discussion of a past automation project. Candidates who describe a specific script they wrote and why tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance for the employee
  • Paid time off
  • Provident fund contributions
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Lucknow
