Linux System Admin

Our team owns OS configuration, automation, AMIs, and container base images across a large-scale hybrid environment (AWS + on-prem). If you enjoy working across layers from automation to low-level debugging this role sits right at that boundary.

What You ll Do

• Build automation for Linux host lifecycle (config, patching, images)
• Own system services, base images, and infrastructure components
• Debug production issues across OS, performance, and service layers
• Work across codebases (C, Go, Python, Ruby) to diagnose and fix issues
• Lead projects from ambiguous problems to production
• Improve reliability through automation and system design
• Partner on security and FedRAMP requirements
• Participate in a sustainable on-call rotation (~16 days/year)

What Makes This Role Interesting

• Own the Linux layer across the entire platform
• Work across the stack: kernel containers automation
• Solve real tradeoffs: reliability, security, and developer experience
• High ownership with direct impact on how engineers run services

1. Linux Skills
2. Automation
3. AWS, * 7+ years working with Linux in production * Strong automation skills (Python and/or Ruby, Ansible preferred) * Experience debugging complex systems issues * Comfortable working across cloud + on-prem environments * U.S. Person required (FedRAMP; U.S.-based work)

Nice to Have

• Docker / Kubernetes
• AMIs or container image building
• Go, C, or other systems-level languages
• Experience with compliance environments (FedRAMP, NIST, etc.)

Team Culture

• We value engineers who take ownership, dive deep, and build systems that make the right thing easy. Strong fundamentals matter more than specific tools.
