You will work across Linux administration, network troubleshooting, storage support, and containerized environments to strengthen the infrastructure mission teams rely on. What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out This role is a strong fit for someone who likes being hands-on in the environment, solving real infrastructure problems, and keeping systems moving without unnecessary drama. You will work across Linux systems, Cisco networking, NetApp storage, and Kubernetes-based environments, which means the work stays technical, practical, and varied. Your impact will be easy to see because the systems you support are directly tied to mission execution. At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your contributions matter. Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful mission work with real momentum. Because we are a small business, leadership is accessible, communication is direct, and strong technical ownership gets noticed. Add in long-term stability, strong benefits, and a people-first culture, and this becomes more than another system administration role. It is a chance to support infrastructure where strong engineering makes a real difference.

That's why we invest in you: * Ample PTO to rest and recharge-plus all federal holidays and your birthday off, just because. * Multiple medical plan options, including ones with zero deductible or premium for employees. * Generous 401(k) with immediate vesting-because your future matters now. * Exciting bonus opportunities, from profit sharing to quarterly awards and President's Club recognition. * A culture of collaboration, connection, and fun, with regular team activities that go beyond the work. ## Related Videos - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [JavaScript?
