The ideal candidate is a technically strong problem-solver who can troubleshoot issues across multiple layers of infrastructure, including operating systems, applications, networking, storage, virtualization, displays, and hardware.

This is not solely a Linux administration position. We're looking for someone who understands how complex systems interact and can diagnose integration and performance issues across the entire environment.

• Develop and maintain Bash scripts and Ansible automation to support system configuration and deployment.
• Utilize Git for configuration management, including cloning, commits, branching, and merging.
• Support Linux graphical environments involving GNOME, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), headless displays, and virtualized monitor configurations.
• Diagnose system performance and latency issues involving CPU, memory, storage I/O, networking, virtualization, applications, and remote displays.
• Troubleshoot complex integration issues involving physical servers, workstations, displays, peripherals, KVMs, networking equipment, storage systems, and virtualization platforms.
• Support systems operating within SELinux and FIPS-enabled environments.
• Integrate and maintain software and hardware across development, integration, testing, and operational environments.
• Collaborate with engineers, customers, vendors, and technical teams to identify and resolve system integration issues.
• Maintain detailed documentation covering system configurations, implementation procedures, troubleshooting findings, automation, and technical changes.
• Support deployed operational systems and assist with resolving technical issues affecting system reliability and performance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related STEM discipline.
• Strong hands-on experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 7, 8, and/or 10).
• Experience with Ansible automation and Bash scripting.
• Experience managing Linux packages, DNF repositories, and kernel updates.
• Working knowledge of Git configuration management workflows.
• Experience supporting Linux graphical environments, including GNOME and RDP.
• Understanding of headless Linux display environments and virtualized monitor configurations.
• Experience diagnosing Linux performance issues involving CPU, memory, storage, networking, virtualization, and applications.
• Familiarity with SELinux and FIPS-enabled environments.
• Experience installing, configuring, troubleshooting, and integrating COTS software and hardware.
• Strong understanding of how operating systems, applications, hardware, networking, and virtualization interact.
• Ability to independently troubleshoot complex technical issues across multiple infrastructure layers.
• Strong documentation, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work primarily on-site in Egg Harbor Township, NJ.
• Willingness to travel up to 25%.
• Ability to obtain a Public Trust Clearance following hire.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (OSV).
