  • Support Red Hat Satellite integration activities, including content registration, host collection management, content lifecycle administration, patch deployment, and compliance scanning.
  • Develop, test, and maintain Ansible automation solutions, including reusable roles, playbooks, and Molecule-tested content to support consistent and scalable system administration.
  • Implement and support enterprise identity management integrations, including Active Directory, SSSD, LDAP, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions such as YubiKey and Smart Card authentication.
  • Collaborate with engineering, operations, and security teams to ensure systems are configured, secured, and maintained in accordance with organizational and regulatory requirements.
