Linux System Administrator at trivago N.V (Düsseldorf, Germany)

When you run operations for the world's largest hotel search, it takes a lot of work to keep things running smoothly. When waves of technical problems come crashing down, we need an enthusiastic tech-head who can make sure that our ship stays on course. We're looking for a deckhand to join our pirate crew! Once you've learned how to monitor and maintain our multi-data centre network infrastructure, you will become our navigator guiding us to brighter shores. If this sounds like it's for you, come join us!



What you'll do:

• Get the chance to tackle some of the leading software and system issues in a big data environment.
• Troubleshoot reasons for critical malfunctions in complex technical environments.
• Help us to stay one step ahead: You will be encouraged to challenge our current processes and consider what we can do differently.
• Research trends, share ideas and work on projects to help us improve. If your suggestions work on a small scale, you will get to see them implemented in 5 data centers on 3 continents.

What you'll need:

• To be an unashamed tech-junkie.
• A good understanding of shell scripting and Linux or UNIX/FreeBSD-based tools.

• The ability to handle the pressure of big data responsibility and tight deadlines.
• A good enough level of English (our company language) to be comfortable speaking it on a daily basis.
• To be looking to break into the IT industry and seeking the chance to make a difference to the experience of 120 million monthly users.
• To be a born problem solver who is always considering how to do things differently and is able to attempt to solve problems without close supervision.
