PROJECT EXECUTION ENGINEER (UNIX & DATABASE) AT BLUECHIP TECHNOLOGIES | ENGINEERING JOBS IN LAGOS

About Company:

BlueChip Technologies is a leading business application firm focused exclusively on assisting organizations in planning, designing, implementing and operating business application solutions and strategies that are central to creating and maintaining a competitive business advantage

Job Description:

This is a hybrid infrastructure and data platform role combining UNIX/Linux System Administration with Database Engineering (DBA). It is positioned within a "continuous transformation" context, meaning the engineer will not just maintain steady-state operations but will actively drive projects, migrations, deployments, and optimization strategies for mission-critical systems.

Requirements:

1. UNIX/Linux Infrastructure Management

• Environment: Production and project platforms.

• Tasks: Administration, configuration, support, troubleshooting, and health compliance.

• Key Focus: Ensuring the underlying operating systems hosting critical applications and databases are stable, secure, and performant.

2. Enterprise Database Engineering (Multi-Platform)

• Lifecycle Management: Installation, configuration, patching, upgrades, and routine maintenance.

• Business Continuity: Designing and managing High Availability (HA), replication, and Disaster Recovery (DR) frameworks.

• Developer/App Support: Database provisioning, query tuning, and schema optimization to assist application development teams.

3. Performance Engineering & Operations

• Proactive Management: Monitoring system/DB metrics, analyzing logs, conducting regular health checks, and eliminating performance bottlenecks.

• Reactive Management: Incident response, deep-dive root cause analysis (RCA), and execution of long-term corrective actions.

4. Automation & Governance

• Efficiency: Using scripting languages to eliminate manual, repetitive infrastructure and database tasks.

• Compliance: Aligning environments with security benchmarks, internal access control policies, and regulatory data standards.

• Knowledge Management: Creating standard operating procedures (SOPs), architecture diagrams, and system configuration blueprints.

Qualifications and Skills:

• UNIX/Linux Flavor: High probability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Oracle Linux (given the DB mix), or legacy enterprise UNIX like IBM AIX or Oracle Solaris.

• Database Ecosystem: Expected mastery in a mix of relational platforms. Common pairings include Oracle Database + PostgreSQL (highly common in modern enterprise transformations) or Microsoft SQL Server + MySQL.

• Automation Stack: Beyond basic Bash/Shell and Python scripting, tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Terraform are highly relevant for enterprise project execution.

• Monitoring Tools: Experience with enterprise monitoring solutions such as Prometheus/Grafana, Datadog, Nagios, Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM), or SolarWinds.
