  • Working knowledge of Linux internals with a depth and breadth of technical expertise in system administration including configuration, troubleshooting and engineering solutions.
  • Hands on experience in performance tuning of Linux OS (CentOS) and identifying bottlenecks such as disk I/O, memory, CPU, network issues (but not limited to).
  • Ability to analyse network behaviour, performance and application issues using standard tools.
  • You have a good grasp of TCP/IP, http and https and use this knowledge to help you analyse problems when they occur.
