Unix Consultant

The Unix Engineer is a high-level, nonoperational role focused on designing Linux/Unix server architectures, standards, policy baselines, templates, and runbooks for Zoetis’ global on Prem and cloud datacenter environments.

Based at ZICC Hyderabad with a global remit, the role defines patterns for compute, virtualization/hypervisors, storage and network integration, OS lifecycle, and security hardening aligned to modern best practices.

The role also enables enterprise-wide frictionless infrastructure modernization by incorporating AI assisted system insights, intelligent configuration automation, and simplified, resilient Linux/Unix platform designs. It drives consistency, reduces operational friction, and strengthens global reliability through automation of first architecture patterns and predictive telemetry.

Accountability includes repository/patching strategies, identity and access integrations, configuration-as-code patterns, observability/SLOs, and governance guardrails for consistent deployments. The engineer leads design reviews, POCs, and pilots, documenting adoption guidance while MSPs own run operations.
