PTCi Engineer at Шлюмберже Лоджелко Инк. в РК — NeverHard

The PTCi Engineer (PetroTechnical Computing Infrastructure Engineer) is a multidisciplinary systems engineer who architecturally designs, builds, integrates, and manages complex IT infrastructure and operational systems. This professional bridges the gap between physical hardware, virtual/cloud solutions, systems software, storage, networking, and automation, ensuring the organization’s technology platforms are secure, scalable, high-performing, and closely aligned to evolving business needs. Key Responsibilities: Infrastructure Design & Implementation: Architect, deploy, and maintain servers (including Linux - Ubuntu, RedHat/Windows), virtualization, and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, Docker). Design, build, and automate physical and wireless networks for all enterprise devices and business processes. Integrate disparate hardware, software, and networking into a unified, resilient ecosystem. Ability to advise and guide on hardware options and purchase. System Administration & Integration: Administer, troubleshoot, and optimize Unix/Linux (Ubuntu, RedHat, RHEL), Windows Server OS, and related user/service configurations. Manage network infrastructure (Cisco, Aruba), storage solutions (NFS, NAS, Lustre/HPE ClusterStor), and databases (Oracle, SQL Server). Oversee license servers, virtual environments (VMs, containers), and manage updates using automated tools (e.g., xCat, Control-M). Automation & Scripting: Develop and maintain scripts (Python, Bash, PowerShell) to automate operational, configuration, and monitoring tasks. Deploy and tune system monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Redfish API). Security, Compliance & Disaster Recovery: Implement robust security measures (firewalls, IDS/IPS, access controls) and enforce policies. Plan and execute system backup, DR, and recovery procedures. Ensure system compliance with audits, standards, and policies. Performance Tuning & Support: Continuously monitor infrastructure, manage capacity planning, and optimize throughput (e.g., HPC job scheduling, plot/print services). Troubleshoot and resolve complex failures, bottlenecks, and performance anomalies. Document workflows and collaborate with internal and third-party support teams. Skillset Requirements: Education & Experience: Minimum Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Information Technology, Network engineering, or related field. Minimum 5 years of experience in systems, network, or IT infrastructure engineering field. Technical Skills: Operating Systems: Advanced knowledge of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Ubuntu, and Windows Server. Experience managing Linux OS update. Administration and maintenance of operating systems above. Experience with xCAT and Confluent. Experience working with Dell and HPE hardware (servers, tape library, storage devices, and GPU). Installation and maintenance experience preferred. Managing tickets with vendors. Procedural firmware update. At a minimum, strong ability to advise the procurement team and solutions architect on hardware specifications. Virtualization: Expertise in VMware and Hyper-V at a minimum. Basic knowledge of cloud technologies: AWS, Azure, and GCP. Database administration: Oracle and SQL Server deployment and administration. Physical design, backup/recovery, security management, migration. Automation & Scripting: Python and PowerShell at a minimum. Bash, Ansible, and Terraform are a plus. High-Performance Computing (HPC support): Design, upgrade, and maintenance. Batch/job scheduling, throughput optimization, performance assessment. Cluster Management: Expertise in orchestrating compute nodes using job schedulers like Slurm or PBS Pro. Storage Systems: Understanding parallel and distributed file systems (e.g., Lustre, GPFS/Spectrum Scale, or Ceph) for high-bandwidth I/O operations. Operating Systems: Deep understanding of Linux OS internals, kernel tuning, and system administration specific to compute nodes. Networking: Virtual Network Management: Administer virtual routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, VPNs, and VLANs using both CLI and graphical interfaces. Implement and enforce network security best practices in virtual environments, covering encryption, authentication, access control, and auditing. Experience and familiarity with LAN/WAN, TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, VPNs, VLANs, NIS, and Samba. Experience with Cisco and Aruba. Storage infrastructure: NFS, NAS, Lustre/ClusterStor, backup/recovery, file system tuning. System Monitoring: o Prometheus, Grafana, Redfish API. Other Skills and Abilities: Excellent troubleshooting and diagnostic ability. Strong workflow documentation and ability to create system/network diagrams. Effective communication, time management, teamwork, and vendor coordination. Ownership, flexibility, and dependability in multidisciplinary settings. Team Player with effective communication skills to interact effectively at all levels Creative, enthusiasm and willingness to learn in a fluid and fast-paced environment Ability to drive projects forward from a technical standpoint, challenging existing processes and procedures where necessary. Preferred Qualifications: Previous experience managing HPC clusters, upgrade, and maintenance. Previous experience managing Dell and HPE servers, and Linux servers.
