The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is seeking an experienced Infrastructure Systems Administrator who will contribute to the stability, security, and growth of its globally-distributed infrastructure. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong system administration skills in diverse environments, proven experience with open source tools and methodologies, and a deep understanding of F/OSS project dynamics. This role is 100% remote, but availability for once-yearly travel to the United States for a multi-day Team Meetup is encouraged.
The candidate is based in Europe.Â
The position involves working in a self-directed manner as part of a small, highly-distributed Infrastructure team, known as ‘ASF Infra’. You will collaborate with a knowledgeable and highly-engaged community of open source contributors and ensure the smooth operation of services powering hundreds of ASF projects worldwide.
