Civi-Go and the role:

Civi-Go is iXiam's managed hosting platform for Drupal and CiviCRM sites. It runs on Linux servers in Europe and North America.

What you will do

▪ Administer the production, staging and development servers on Debian.

▪ Install and configure the hosting stack with Ansible: Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL, Valkey, rewall and mail relay.

▪ Keep systems patched and hardened, and act on security advisories.

▪ Run backups and test that they restore.

▪ Monitor the service, handle incidents and fix their root cause.

▪ Administer our GitLab and maintain the pipelines that deploy platforms and sites.

▪ Maintain the in-house Bash tooling used for daily hosting work.

▪ Plan capacity, upgrades and cost, and propose infrastructure improvements to management.

▪ Keep the documentation current.

▪ Web server stack: Nginx, PHP-FPM, TLS and Let's Encrypt, Valkey or Redis.

▪ MySQL 8: configuration and tuning, users and privileges, backup and restore, upgrades, slow-query analysis.

▪ Languages: professional English, plus Spanish for daily work in the office.

Nice to have

▪ Drupal and CiviCRM: building platforms with Composer, Drush and cv, multisite hosting, upgrades.
