Senior Systems Engineering

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 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 tasksImprove monitoring, alerting, and operational visibility

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.
