Linux Systems Administrator / PHP Developer (Mid-Level, LAMP Stack)
Job Description
Job Description
We are seeking a dependable Linux Systems Administrator with strong command-line experience to help support and maintain our production server environment. This role focuses primarily on Linux system administration, safe deployments, log monitoring, and operational support in a PCI-DSS compliant environment.
Because our infrastructure workload does not fully occupy a systems-only position, this role will also contribute to backend development projects using PHP/MySQL within our LAMP stack (Laravel experience is a plus).
All office workstations run Windows, so occasional internal Windows troubleshooting may also be part of the role.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys both infrastructure and backend development and wants to grow their skills in a stable, security-conscious environment.
Primary Responsibilities
- Assist in managing and maintaining Linux servers via CLI
- Support production deployments and releases
- Monitor application and system logs for errors or anomalies
- Help troubleshoot system, database, and application issues
- Write and maintain Bash scripts as needed
- Contribute to PHP/MySQL development projects
- Work within Git-based workflows
- Provide occasional Windows workstation support in the office
Required Qualifications
- Hands-on experience working with Linux via the command line
- Experience supporting production or staging environments
- Working knowledge of MySQL/MariaDB
- Experience using Git for version control
- Strong attention to detail and a cautious approach to live systems
Preferred Qualifications
- PHP development experience
- Familiarity with the LAMP stack
- Experience with Laravel
- Exposure to compliance or security-focused environments (PCI-DSS a plus)
- Basic Windows troubleshooting experience
What We Value
- Careful, methodical problem-solving
- Clear communication
- Willingness to ask questions rather than make risky assumptions
- Interest in growing both systems and development skills
Compensation based on experience.
No remote work.
