How do you like to make an impact?
Think back to your last job. Were you able to run with projects from start to finish, to truly choose each next step? Enova managers empower you to make your own decisions and drive your work. That could mean anything from taking the lead on the development of a new mobile app, to determining the best way to help a customer break down their loan payments. When we talk to our team members, they tell us their managers trust them to get the job done. Where else will can your voice be heard Day One? We want you to make your mark. This is the core of Enova.

• Help set the architectural direction and implement parts of system projects
• Implement server and server cluster best practices such as security, OS patching, networking, code deployment, and configuration management
• Evaluate and recommend new equipment or services to solve needs and perform the necessary stress testing of this equipment
• Maintain a private cloud in a fast paced environment
• Provide tier 2 support to Operations in a 24x7 on call environment

We get excited about you if you have:

• 3+ years of Unix / Linux systems administration in a production environment
• Experience with on-premises infrastructure management
• Familiarity with configuration management tools (Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or similar)
• Proficiency with Bash, Perl, SH, Ruby and/or Python scripting
