Currently available positions

Linux Systems Guru / Senior Infrastructure Engineer

Location: On-site – Coffee Shop vibes, Pretoria East
Employment Type: Full-time
Environment: Casual, fun, fast-moving, and slightly chaotic (in the best way)
Application date: 1 March 2026

We’re a small, dynamic team running real systems that matter — education platforms, business software, VoIP, web services, and more — and we need someone who lives and breathes Linux and can keep everything humming even when things go sideways.

Think of yourself as the person the team calls when the world is on fire… and you fix it with bash one-liners, a well-placed iptables rule and pure stubbornness.

What you’ll be doing (the fun stuff)

• Own the full stack: bare-metal servers, VMs, networking, applications — the lot
• Build, scale, and harden physical & virtual servers (yes, we still touch hardware)
• Design and maintain networks using MikroTik (routing, firewall rules, mangle, queues, BGP when needed)
• Automate everything possible with Ansible (because typing the same command 47 times is not living)
• Keep services alive: Moodle, Odoo, FreePBX, PostgreSQL databases, HAProxy / Nginx load balancers & proxies
• Monitor like a hawk using Nagios (or whatever better tool you convince us to adopt)
• Lock things down — server security, firewalling, updates, hardening, intrusion detection, the works
• Perform crisis heroics: bring services back online with minimal tools and maximum creativity (duct tape and half a paperclip energy is genuinely required)
• Occasionally drink good coffee while explaining to the team why their “quick fix” broke production (again)

Must-have superpowers (non-negotiable)

• Deep, passionate knowledge of Linux (Debian/Ubuntu — you know your way around Linux)
• Solid networking fundamentals + hands-on MikroTik experience (routing, firewall, NAT, BGP is a big plus)
• Very comfortable with Bash scripting (you write readable scripts that live longer than you do)
• Strong server security mindset (iptables/nftables, fail2ban, SELinux/AppArmor, hardening, auditing, updates)
• Experience building & scaling physical servers + VMs (KVM, Proxmox, or similar)

Really nice to have (bring these and you’ll be our hero)

• Ansible (you’ve written roles & playbooks — not just run other people’s)
• PostgreSQL administration & tuning
• Hands-on with Moodle, Odoo, and/or FreePBX
• HAProxy and/or Nginx (reverse proxy, SSL, load balancing)
• BGP practical experience (even small-scale)… We are peered at nap and Jinx.
• Nagios / Icinga / Zabbix or similar monitoring stack
• Experience surviving production outages with grace and humour

The perfect candidate is someone who…

• Gets excited about solving impossible problems
• Documents just enough so that future-you doesn’t hate current-you
• Can explain complex things simply (to devs, owners, and sometimes the coffee machine)
• Thrives in a small team where everyone wears multiple hats
• Appreciates good coffee, bad jokes, and the occasional braai after a big win

What we offer

• On-site role in a relaxed coffee shop environment in Pretoria East (yes, really — caffeine is included)
• Freedom to build things properly (and sometimes creatively)
• Competitive package for the right person
• Opportunity to shape infrastructure from the ground up
• A team that values skill, initiative, and a good sense of humour more than suits & ties
• Free pilates classes

If you read this and thought “That’s me!”, we want to talk.

We can’t wait to meet the next legend who’ll keep our systems alive.
