The Infrastructure Operations team in our National Support Center (NSC) is looking for a Sr Red Hat/UniVerse Administrator at their Lafayette Hill, PA office. This position is remote.
Do you have deep, hands-on experience administering Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Rocket UniVerse or another MultiValue database? Do you enjoy tuning, securing, and troubleshooting the infrastructure supporting a mission-critical ERP platform? Are you excited by the opportunity to own the SQL replication pipeline connecting Eclipse operational data to enterprise reporting and analytics? If so, then we’d like you to join our dedicated team as a Senior Red Hat / UniVerse Administrator.
About the Role:
The Senior Red Hat / UniVerse Administrator is the senior technical owner of the platform that Hajoca’s Epicor Eclipse ERP runs on — the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating environment, the Rocket UniVerse MultiValue database beneath Eclipse, and the near‑real‑time SQL replication layer that feeds the enterprise data warehouse and business intelligence. This role keeps a mission‑critical, 24×7 distribution platform stable, secure, high‑performing, and highly available across production and non‑production environments, while ensuring that operational Eclipse data flows accurately and continuously into SQL Server for reporting and analytics.
The ideal candidate blends deep Linux systems administration with hands‑on MultiValue database expertise and a strong data‑integration mindset — someone who can tune the OS and the UniVerse database, work fluently within the Eclipse ecosystem, and own the replication pipeline that turns nested MultiValue records into clean relational data for Power BI, SSRS, and Excel.
In this role, you will:
Own Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Administration
Tune the kernel, filesystems (LVM/XFS), memory, and CPU for MultiValue database workloads and heavy transactional I/O.
Automate provisioning, patching, and configuration management with Red Hat Satellite and Bash scripting to drive consistency and reduce manual effort.
Administer users, groups, permissions, SSH, sudo/PAM, and OS hardening in line with security policy.
Own Rocket UniVerse / MultiValue Database Administration
Diagnose and resolve locking, contention, and session issues; tune uvconfig, phantom processes, and shared‑memory parameters for optimal throughput.
Perform backups, transaction logging, and point‑in‑time recovery; validate restore procedures on a regular cadence.
Use RetrieVe/UniQuery and read UniVerse BASIC to investigate data issues and support reporting.
Own Epicor Eclipse SQL Replication & Maintain the Data Warehouse
Configure, schedule, and continuously monitor replication so operational transactional data syncs into SQL tables with acceptable latency and completeness.
Manage the mapping and transformation that flattens nested multi‑value fields — such as multiple order lines within a single record — into standard relational rows and columns.
Maintain the SQL Server data warehouse (schema, indexing, SQL Agent jobs, and storage) and preserve a clean, standard schema for third‑party reporting.
Ensure Backup, Disaster Recovery & High Availability
Own disaster‑recovery planning and regular failover/recovery testing to meet defined RTO/RPO objectives.
Ensure business continuity for a 24×7 distribution operation, including participation in an on‑call rotation.
Govern Security & Compliance
Enforce least‑privilege access, audit logging, and change‑management discipline across the platform stack.
Support enterprise security and compliance initiatives in partnership with the Cyber Security & AI Enablement team.
Drive Automation, Documentation & Collaboration
Produce and maintain runbooks, SOPs, architecture diagrams, and knowledge‑base articles.
Partner across Infrastructure, Applications & Support, Networking, and Cyber teams, and with business stakeholders.
About You:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Preferred Certifications include Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) and/or Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE), Rocket U2 (UniVerse / UniData) training or certification, Microsoft SQL Server certification (e.g., Azure Database Administrator Associate).
Our ideal candidate will also:
Have deep, hands‑on Red Hat Enterprise Linux administration experience— installation, patching, performance tuning, storage, networking, and security.
Possess a working knowledge of Epicor Eclipse ERP (or a comparable MultiValue‑based distribution ERP) sufficient to support the underlying database and data pipeline — Eclipse application administration is owned by a separate partner role.
Be proficient in Bash scripting and automation with Ansible.
Have virtualization (VMware) and enterprise storage (SAN/NAS) experience.
Have direct experience with Epicor Eclipse SQL Replication and the Information Control Engine (ICE).
Have a background in wholesale distribution or another multi‑site, high‑transaction environment. a background in wholesale distribution or another multi‑site, high‑transaction environment.
Have experience coordinating vendor support relationships (Epicor, Rocket Software, and VARs).
Have experience with Zerto Continuous Data Protection.
