Job Description

Position Summary:

We are seeking a Web Administrator with hands-on expertise in managing high-availability web environments hosted on Linux-based servers. This role is not about uploading blog posts or changing templates—it requires direct engagement with server configurations, security hardening, deployment pipelines, and performance diagnostics.

Key Responsibilities:

Manage and optimize multiple Linux-based Apache and NGINX web servers, including SSL configuration, virtual host setups, load balancing, and URL rewriting.
Implement CI/CD pipelines for web deployments using tools such as Git, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.
Perform deep log analysis (e.g., Apache logs, NGINX logs, PHP error logs) to proactively identify and resolve issues.
Maintain and troubleshoot CMS platforms, with direct backend support for Drupal and WordPress, including custom module/plugin management and database tuning.
Configure and manage MySQL/MariaDB databases, write and optimize complex SQL queries, and handle replication or backup schedules.
Collaborate with cybersecurity and compliance teams to apply OS-level and application-level hardening, and regularly audit for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.
Use configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible or Puppet) for provisioning and updates.
Monitor system performance using tools like Nagios, Zabbix, or Prometheus and respond to service outages or security incidents outside business hours when necessary.
Handle DNS configurations (Zone files, CNAME, MX, SPF, DMARC) and CDN integrations (Cloudflare, Akamai).

Required Qualifications:

3+ years of experience in a Web Administrator, DevOps, or Systems Administration role with web stack responsibility.
Advanced proficiency in Linux command-line, shell scripting (Bash), and cron automation.
Proven experience managing SSL/TLS certificates, domain registrations, and DNS propagation.
Strong knowledge of web server security principles and hands-on experience mitigating vulnerabilities.
Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker) and experience maintaining staging/production environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience integrating enterprise authentication protocols (SAML, OAuth) into CMS-based websites.
Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform.
Exposure to front-end build systems (Webpack, Gulp) and headless CMS implementations.
Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG) and SEO optimization from a server-side perspective.
