  • Translate system metrics into actionable information to help the team understand network performance.
  • Identify opportunities to modernize networks and develop new methodologies for infrastructure management.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience with Linux systems engineering or administration.
  • Experience with RHEL 8 or 9, shell scripting, and automation.
  • Experience with AWS, virtualization technologies (VMWare, Hypervisor, or KVM), and containerization (Docker, Podman, or Kubernetes).
  • Knowledge of system hardening, security best practices, and networking concepts including IPv4, SSH, and firewalls.
  • TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph.
  • HS diploma or GED.
  • Ability to obtain a DoD 8140 Certification (Security+, CASP, CISSP, CCSP, CCNA, or GCSA) within 6 months of start date.
  • Experience with monitoring tools, CI/CD pipelines, threat intelligence, RHEL 10 knowledge, or RHCE certification (preferred).
