Linux and Ansible Automation Engineer
The Opportunity:
We're looking for a Linux engineer and automation specialist to help us design, deploy, and grow automated solutions for an enterprise environment that is actively modernizing.
As a Linux and Ansible Automation Engineer on our project, you'll be on the ground floor of building something meaningful by developing automation frameworks, establishing best practices, and laying the foundation for scalable infrastructure in a mission-critical environment. You'll provide the customer with insight into their Linux environments through automated monitoring, system hardening, configuration management, and performance optimization. You'll work closely with mission partners and various stakeholders to understand their current pain points and translate them into automation solutions that reduce manual effort and operational risk. Your technical expertise will be vital as you identify where automation can make the biggest immediate impact while keeping an eye on long-term architecture. You'll help your team better understand what's possible by turning early wins into repeatable methodologies and communicating their value to leadership.
We focus on growing as a team, so you'll share your expertise through leadership and mentoring as you help others embrace a culture of automation. As a technical leader, you'll have a real voice in how this capability evolves, including identifying new opportunities to expand coverage and mature the program as your customers' needs grow. This position is located in Reston, Virginia.
