Middleware System Administrator / Onsite in Denton TX

A growing aerospace-focused organization is hiring a full-time Application & Middleware IT Administrator in Denton, TX, with a hybrid schedule (3 days onsite). This role centers on OpenShift and Kubernetes application administration within a complex enterprise environment, alongside strong Red Hat Linux systems and middleware technologies such as Apache, Tomcat, and JBoss.
