About the Role
Act as the primary escalation point for Linux issues across engineering, from routine to complex, and own first triage of incoming requests
Troubleshoot the daily reality of a mixed fleet: authentication and access, services, storage and filesystems, performance, and remote connectivity
Provision Linux hosts end-to-end against established procedures, from laptops and workstations to rack-mounted servers and lab systems
Own access and authentication operations and recurring fleet maintenance — patching, health checks, backup verification, and capacity management
Maintain the configuration management codebase with small, reviewed changes, freeing the senior engineering side of the team for architecture work.
About You
5+ years of hands-on Linux systems administration in production, owning fleet health rather than ticket-by-ticket task work
Configuration management experience — reading, modifying, and debugging automation, not just running it — in an infrastructure-as-code model with peer review
Medium-to-advanced troubleshooting across services, networking, storage, authentication, and performance, with the judgment to recognize when documentation runs out
Enterprise directory services integration on Linux, credential and key management, and scripting proficiency
Proven ability to be an escalation point for technical teams: triaging ambiguous reports and managing competing priorities without losing requests.
Nice to haves but not required
You should still apply even if you don't have all of these!
Automated bare-metal and VM provisioning at scale, with image and template management
Precision time synchronization for test and measurement systems
Kernel and driver-level depth: module management, hardware troubleshooting, or performance tuning
Containerization, CI/CD, observability, or hardening to a published security baseline
Aerospace, manufacturing, or test operations environments
