Senior Systems Engineering

We were early to the fight against Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance, and we've been pushing the edge ever since.
Our mission is to help government and enterprise organizations understand and manage commercial data risks, shape their digital signatures, and operate with confidence in an increasingly complex information landscape. We build and integrate advanced, tech-forward solutions to problems our customers often don't know they have - until it matters most.
Veilant offers a solid work-life balance and flexible remote work options. At Veilant, you'll work with the most talented software developers, systems engineers, and subject matter experts, building tools and systems that make a real difference.
We are looking for an experienced, cleared Senior Systems Engineer to join our infrastructure team.

This role is for someone who likes building, fixing, improving, and owning systems. You should be comfortable at the Linux command line, understand how networks actually work, and be able to move across operating systems, virtualization, cloud, security, automation, and documentation without needing everything perfectly defined up front.

You will help engineer, deploy, secure, and maintain mission-focused infrastructure in a collaborative environment with other mid-to-senior engineers.

You will be working with other like-minded technical people who enjoy infrastructure, Linux, networking, automation, security, and solving hard problems.

You will be supported by a highly technical 24x7 Network and Security Operations Center that keeps eyes on the environment around the clock. That means you can focus on engineering, improvement, and problem solving without living under constant on-call pressure or rolling out updates at 0-dark-30.

MacBook, Windows, or Linux. Windows is technically an option, but seriously, why? Mac or Linux is obviously the correct answer.

We have an active board game group, Xbox gamers, and people who genuinely enjoy hanging out with other geeks.

You will help configure, deploy, maintain, and improve:
Linux systems, primarily Debian and Ubuntu, with a small number of Windows systems
VMware ESXi, vSphere, vCenter, and vSAN
Cloud infrastructure and services in environments such as AWS and GCP
Network infrastructure including switches, routers, and firewalls
You will work closely with DevOps, Network Engineering, Security Operations, and other infrastructure engineers to harden systems, automate repetitive work, improve visibility, and reduce operational friction.

Maybe it is Linux permissions. Maybe it is VMware. Maybe it is AWS. Communicate clearly when something is broken, blocked, or at risk
Deploy hardened Linux systems and bring them into production
Support infrastructure across on-prem, virtualized, and cloud environments
Partner with DevOps to automate manual or repetitive tasks
Produce documentation that helps the next engineer troubleshoot faster
Debian and Ubuntu Linux
Windows Server in limited areas
VMware ESXi, vSphere, vCenter, and vSAN
AWS, GCP, and related cloud services
Cisco IOS, Cisco NX-OS, Juniper, and Fortinet/FortiGate
Active Top Secret clearance

• 8+ years of relevant hands-on systems, infrastructure, cloud, or network engineering experience
• Strong Linux experience, including real command-line troubleshooting and administration
• Solid understanding of TCP/IP, the OSI model, and networking fundamentals
• Experience troubleshooting across systems, networks, virtualization, cloud, and security boundaries
• Familiarity with secure tunneling and encryption technologies such as IPSec, OpenVPN, WireGuard, TLS, or MACsec
• Experience with AWS, GCP, or hybrid cloud environments

Experience with VMware vSAN and larger vSphere environments
Experience with Cisco NX-OS, Juniper, or FortiGate platforms
Understanding of OSPF, VRF, MPLS, MACsec, and related network/security concepts
You like Linux. You probably have opinions about good documentation, bad firewall rules, broken monitoring, cloud sprawl, and why "just reboot it" is not a strategy.

If you want to help build and operate reliable infrastructure in a serious environment, this is the kind of role where you can make an immediate impact.
