Everything you need to run the engagement smoothly

  • Dedicated to your servers

    The administrator works only on your infrastructure, not spread across other clients' servers.

  • Direct communication

    You and your team talk to the administrator directly, with no extra layer in between.

  • Flexible contracts

    Full time, part time, or scoped to a project. Scale up or down with notice.

  • Patch and access reviews

    Regular reviews of patch status and user access, so issues are caught before they compound.

  • Timezone overlap

    Working hours arranged to overlap with your team for maintenance windows and incident response.

  • No-cost replacement

    If the administrator is not the right fit, we replace them at no extra cost during the engagement.

Why teams hire Linux administrators through TCB Infotech

  • We run production servers ourselves

    We manage our own server fleet in production, so our administrators are tested on real operational pressure, not trivia.

  • Fast, honest shortlisting

    You see 2 to 3 profiles, not a stack of resumes, and we tell you plainly if a fit is not right.

  • Direct access, no relay

    You and your team work with the administrator directly, on your tools and your cadence.

  • Servers you can keep

    Configuration, patch history and access are documented and handed over cleanly if the engagement ends.

  • No long lock-in

    Scale the engagement up or down with notice, based on the server work you actually have.

Hiring Linux administrators, answered

What does a dedicated Linux administrator do?

They manage servers at the operating system level: patching, user access, systemd services, firewall rules and security hardening, and keep servers running reliably day to day.

How is a Linux administrator different from a cloud engineer?

A cloud engineer manages the cloud resources themselves, such as virtual machines and networking at the provider level. A Linux administrator manages the operating system and services running inside those machines. Many setups need both.

Does the administrator work across multiple cloud providers?

Yes. Operating system administration is largely platform-agnostic, so the administrator can manage servers on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or on-premise hardware.

Can the administrator work on our existing servers without downtime?

Yes. Patching and hardening are scheduled and tested to avoid unnecessary downtime, and changes are rolled out in a controlled way.

What is the engagement model?

You can hire full time, part time, or for the length of a specific hardening or migration project. Contracts scale as your server footprint grows.

What if the administrator is not the right fit?

We replace the administrator at no extra cost during the engagement, and hand over server documentation and access to the new one.
