Linux System Administrator

Qboxmail, a SaaS company specialized in Email Hosting, SMTP Relay, and Email Security services, is looking for a Linux System Administrator to join the IT & Systems department.

The person will work closely with the Research and Development department and Technical Support, dealing with the management, maintenance, and evolution of the Linux infrastructure on which Qboxmail services are delivered.

We are looking for a curious person, passionate about technology and eager to learn. It is not necessary to know everything already, but it is essential to have method, autonomy, analytical skills, and a desire to deepen what you do not know.

The technical context is stimulating and challenging: we work on email services used daily by many companies, with real issues of deliverability, security, performance, authentication, log analysis, email protocols, DNS, and Linux infrastructure. It is an environment where you see complex technical cases and have the opportunity to grow rapidly, acquiring skills that are difficult to develop in smaller or less specialized contexts.

In an initial phase, you will also work in advanced technical support activities, so as to thoroughly understand the operation of the services, customer issues, and the infrastructure that delivers them. Progressively, you will acquire increasing responsibilities in systems management, task automation, and infrastructure improvement.

What we offer

• A growing context: Qboxmail is an evolving SME where each person's contribution has a real impact on the team's work and the company.

• Direct and continuous discussion with the department manager, the administrator, and colleagues from other teams with cross-functional skills.
• Stimulating work environment: Free time is important to us, and by internal regulations, we do not allow accumulation of holidays or leave; in practice, we force you to rest! In exchange, we expect motivation, commitment, and results orientation: a positive environment is maintained only if everyone contributes with seriousness and responsibility.
